        Bloody whingers; getting all precious about pictures of a Commodore 64.

        Anyway, does a Wii count?

          feck it, even a modern games controller is probably a computer in its own right!
          I think that he meant computers and not toys.

          5 x Sun SPARC
          3 x Sun x86
          1 x IBM AIX P550
          1 x IBM AIX HMC
          4 x Linux servers of different types
          1 x not doing anything much
          3 x Windows servers (toys)
          2 x laptops
          1 x HP HP-UX desktop

          Plus the usual network stuff

            My Nokia N95 calls itself a computer rather than a phone. It doesn't tell you how to make a phone call until page 90-odd of the manual. So it & the iPod touch both got counted.

              I don't consider my N95 a computer. It's not really been much of a phone either since the day it made a funny smell and died.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                I always get a dissapointed look from the salesman when I buy mobile phones.

                Salesman; 'what do you want to do with it?'

                MTT; 'talk to people on the phone'

                Salesman; 'are there any particular features you might need'

                MTT; 'yes, the ability to make and recieve phone calls'

                Salesman; 'do you want bluetooth?'

                MTT; 'no, I have a collection of white teeth which are quite adequate for biting and chewing my food'

                Salesman; 'do you not want to receive e-mails and transfer data to and from your PC?'

                MTT; 'no, not really, I just want to talk to people on the phone; is that really so difficult?'

                Salesman; 'would you like a particular colour? Do you want a clamshell model or a foldy outy or a straightforward model?'

                MTT; 'a cheap one that makes phone calls'

                Salesman; 'but that's not good for your image Sir'

                MTT; 'sod that, I just want to make phone call; it's not as if the people I'm talking to can see me'

                Salesman; 'oh, but they can if you have a built in webcam'

                MTT; 'all the more reason why I don't want one of those'

                Salesman; 'well, we have this one (the most basic Nokia); will that do?'

                MTT; 'Yes'

                Salesman; 'would you like a belt holder and headphones with that'

                MTT; 'no, just sell me a ******* telephone'

                Salesman; 'there's no need to get angry about it'

                bla bla bla bloody bla

                    Lawyer friends used to have to search high and low for phones that didn't have integrated cameras - because mobile phones are allowed in court but cameras aren't. I expect they've given up now.
