nah it was a faulty motherboard, but the advisors on the phone tried loads of stuff including totally repartitioning and reformatting the hard drive which meant i needed an update cd which they sent but was faulty so i'm still not up and running properly i had to download all my drvers from the web and i will have to reformat again when the new update cd arrives

Computers are SHIT.
Especially ones bought from large national stores that have 'helpful' advisors. You're almost guaranteed a shit time with them if anything goes tits up, like it has.
It was all much simpler and easier for all in the days of the ZX Spectrum. All we had to worry about was the occasional R Tape Loading Error.

Indeed.
There should also be a mandatory 10 minute waiting time before any application loads up.
These young'uns of today don't appreciate what we had to go through.
It's all instant this, instant that and games with 35000 billion colour graphics and so forth. They have it too easy.
Luckily they're all going to die young because of their bad diets.
MUHAHAHA.
Although we're probably part of the dying young through bad diets generation too.
Bah.

*goes back to his BBC computer*
You know the ones, where you could put that little robot turtle thing on paper and let it draw.
How cool was that shit?
Stick your Pentium 4 up your arse.

The last time I saw one of those, was when I was doing my electrical engineering training.
Considering I was used to using AutoCAD on a Pentium 2 at work, I wondered why they had something so old in the building.
Meh, it was Oldham.
Maybe thay can't afford up to date shit.

The BBC is still state of the art in the Eastern Block.
Actually whilst that isn't strictly true, parts of the Eastern Block were using Spectrum clones still in the late nineties. To use for graphics on TV shows. Which is amazing as I didn't realise they had TVs there either.
