                lol! sorry i got it wrong. but maybe you should take the
computer bit out of the add. cause by the sound of it your talking about the
software "dragon speaking" am i correct? maybe not but the computer bit on
your add was a bit confusing.

                sorry to bother you.

                  um.....it says 2xdragon 32 computers, the 32 is part of
the title, as it means the amount of memory it came with...so my advert said
2xdragon 32 computers...
                  and the part in capitals said nothing extra at all..inc
software

                          hi there!

                          i take it this is software and computers.

                          if it is i could take a few of them but maybe not
all 32. just dont have the space for them all.

                          let me know if that is ok.

                          cheers

Beautiful.

Tell them you have a Commodore 1702 computer monitor which comes with no
computers. And possibly a Morris Minor 1000 to haul it away with (software
not included).

If you want 80s stuff...
There's 9 complete episodes of ....
Whiz Kids!
There's also "The Ghosts of Mottley Hall" which possibly lasted into the
early 80s. If not still a worthy watch.
Also part of an episode including the opening for "Q.E.D.".
(That's Quentin E. Deverill, the inventor/amateur sleuth in 1920)

All of them were "wow! I remember that tune!"
:)

Apparently, spike's informaed me that there's been some traffic in the past 
few days. After picking my jaw off the floor, I thought I'd stick my head 
around the door.

So I guess you can say I'm still here in some capacity.

Subject: OFFERED: Reusable Nappies
Body: I bought these, used them once and and didn't like them!

I've been off the newsgroups for a onsiderable amount of time... other 
stuff's got in the way, but I went in there today, and it looks as if it's 
not been posted in for a few days.

But, don't take my word for it, NTL/Virgin's news server seems crapper than 
ever, it's taken me 6 hours to see my own posts, or anyone else's for that 
matter!
