I've resisted "reality series" like the plague up until now. My reasoning was that they were crappy crap for crappy mofo's. Imagine my surprise when this week I found myself looking forward to the next instalment of "Average Joe". It started...

Just a posting for all you AVG users out there. My friend's free subscription for Norton Antivirus 2003 ran out so we installed the 2004 version. After rebooting, we encountered some problems connecting to his high speed connection so we decided to...

In the last two or three days icons on my PC have been swapping around for no apparent reason - it's soooo spooky. I have not been able to identify how and when it starts but rebooting restores the correct icons. The icons that get swapped are not the...

This is driving me nuts. I've tried Google, tried everything. No luck.Can someone please tell me who recorded the title music for Channel Four's eighties Tour de France programmes? You know the one - with the tune from Frere Jacques towards the end. I...

Are there any recent really good first person PC shoot-em-ups around at the moment? Preferably something with reasonable puzzles and a bit of depth, as well as lots of mindless death & maiming. I realise that whatever you recommend will probably mean a new graphics card - the current GeoForce3 Ti500 is getting a bit long in the tooth, and the latest nVidia Detonator driver buggers it up to such an extent that I've gone back to the one that originally shipped with it. Needs to have DVI...

So, I thought I'd be clever and, in order to avoid the terrible crime of pulling my amp. out of my system, buy me this nice software that comes with a pre-amp so I can burn those last remaining LPs, 12" singles and 45s onto that nasty CD format. I...
