Didn't spot the CPU heatsink under it? Thought that might be a giveaway! :-)

LOL! You've got the wrong guy for that! I changed a HD once while being walked thru it on the phone. That's the one and only time I've even seen the inside of a computer !

8 Meg DSL? That's what I signed up for, I get about 6.5 line, but the speed is dropped and the connection goes every 12 hours because of our burglar alarm, which was invented long before microfilters. It was probably installed before the 14.4k modem!
A computer in McDonalds? Where abouts? The Brentwood one doesn't have one I don't think!

Yeah that's pretty snazzy lol although it might be to hide the 5 year old Dell Optiplex that's probably underneath...

Kings Cross. There are two within 100 yards of each other. But bear in mind that Kings cross station is prob. the biggest in Britain.. 6 tube lines, thameslink line, wagn line, gner trains (that take you all over britain), and shortly eurostar. So i guess the internet thing is just a one off, cause Kings X is such a busy place. It's also full of tramps and junkies, but that's "not for here.." :-)
Dell Optiplex? No way.. trust me, after using it, I don't think even Dell could make such a useless compy. You have to bash those metal buttons, so no fast typing. Also, people are eating greasy "burgers" while using it so it's "unhygienic." So it's not out of place in Kings X.

Nah, the underground station may be the most complex of any, but I doubt it's the biggest overall. Waterloo is huge, and Paddington is also pretty sizeable. Considering its status, the mainline section of Kings Cross is pretty small.

I hate to bring up a sensitive subject buy Kings Cross sounds familiar; isn't that one of the areas hit in that nastiness the july before last?

Yeah tell me about it. I had to come home from Loughborough to Brentwood on that very day, and my two journey choices involved either Kings cross to Holborn via Russell Square on the Piccadilly line or Kings Cross to Liverpool Street (aldgate being the station after) on the Circle line... Due to the chaos my dad had to drive all the way up to get me. It was spooky going down the A14 seeing signs saying "Avoid London - Area closed"

@Lethal and Sammorris...I though I had that right, I remembered that particlar station name. I'm sure it hit everyone hard but if you live in the area, I imagine it's ten times worse. The world trade center is two hours north of Philly yet things were nuts even here two hours away.
I don't know if its because of the WWII rockets, or the IRA or both but you Brits are so much more resiliant and stalworthy (is that a word?) than we are here. We could have used some of that then ... hell, we still could! Seems you folks think more clearly than we do after such nonsense.

Lol if only that were true of ALL of us. Yeah Edgware Road, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street/Aldgate and Tavistock square were the places attacked. Bear in mind I can go to the station round the corner, hop on a train and be at Liverpool Street in 25 minutes. That's how close I am to it.

That's because, gerry, let's face it.. up until 9/11, America hadn't seen real war. America seems to be involved in a lot of them, but I can't remember many battles happening on American soil, it was always somewhere else. That's why the WTC atrocities knocked the US for six. But I think we should leave it there as per dRD's wishes.. ;-)
