DVD burner and blank discs
Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:34:21 +0100
Hi,
I have an older LG GSA-4163B DVD burner and it can be quite fickle WRT which
make of discs it will burn to. This makes it a pain in the ass to buy blanks

Windows 7 arrived now 32 or 64
Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:57:40 +0100
After trying 64 Vista and having the problems of being able to get no
drivers I wonder if there is any advantage for using 64 W7 ?
I do have a 64 CPU but is there any real benefit for a home user in 64 ?
Thanks ...

Ebuyer not usual standard
Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:25:45 -0700 (PDT)
I'm a bit perplexed. Ebuyer have apparently changed to use UPS as one
of their couriers. The other is Parcelforce. Now, any shipping option

is changed to 3 working days. No other option is accepted.
I phoned their sales line and seemed to get ...

new board would have to have the CPU in the same place as the existing
board.
I'm not committed ...

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:35:57 +0100
Not exactly homebuilding but related.
The reviews I have read mention the new (easy to set ) Networking in WIN7. But do mention this only works with Computer running Win 7 on the network. I hope I have assumed correctly that this only applies to some sort of settings transfer wizard and not that file and printer shar ...
