BOOM!!!!!!!!    And another credit card max's out.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D  Sly old dog, you never mentioned that when we blew the froth off a few ales recently. Seriously though mate, let me know how it fly's. With all the crashes to desktop that I have had lately,   >:(  methinks it's about time to consider a trade in to a later model.

Regards,
Gary

Will do Gary. It was a late decision, brought about by a search on the net that revealed a nice little computer shop just outside of Wollongong with some amazing prices for well known and respected brands, a telephone call, the building of the system with everything I wanted, after a chat with Ed. All for $3K. Happy with that.  ;D
