        I'm working on it. Waiting till the new version of the OS is released. In the meantime trying to persuade the Co. Sec. that the Co. can afford it

          You are Royal Albert and I claim my five pounds, to be paid off-shore so that I can hide it from my blackmailing wife and turf my kid onto the street.

            I wish they'd upgrade my work computer, my home pc's graphics card has more memory than this heap of crap...

            There's more than a touch of Harryhausen about the way this thing swaps from one window to another...

                  Contractors are often given the rubbish computer that no one else wants.

                  They think getting a 'good' computer should be a perk for management and senior permies. What they don't realise, of course, is that contractors actually use their computers to do 'work', and it would be a good idea to give them the fastest machine in the office.

                      I'm a permie, I've tried the 'I'd get more work done if I didn't have to sit here listening to the grinding of the HD labouring to cope with having a spreadsheet, word document and the crap timesheet entry system all open at the same time' line...

                      Didn't work though
