How very true, as I have found . Beyond a joke now as is two weeks today since my PC went Pete Tong, and I am at my wits end, as this is only the second five min segway I have been able to log-on line since the 20th (am again using the wifes's work lap top for this up-date, which will again be frowned on by her employer).

This computer virus has proved particularly potent, and despite having Norton, has done loads of damage. Looks like all the photos of my kids have been found and saved however, but all else, inc. all my work stuff etc, is gone. The tech spec guys @ PC World can't get past the corrupted built-in start up progs to re-boot though, so think that is that.

Get paid in a week however, so will go shopping for a new computer then, as should be able to afford one, as have saved a fortune being off the BBS, as this is the longest period I have gone without buying something off here since November 2004 .

Hope to be properly back up and running by the end of next week then, but just in case I'm gone until the new year, hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. Oh, and if any creators of computer viruses are reading this, to you I wish the opposite, and pray you die, in total agony, with a red hot barbed poker up yer ar$e ... Laters chaps: Gareth.
