    Had Windows ME. Went back to 98 and now have XP now. I didn't hate Windows ME but did have some problems.

    Hows the foot, Ara?

    Hey y'all! I'm back from Turkey! :wave:

    Well, that was a cool holiday. Just me, four mates and a lot of suncream. (In Factor 50 we trust! - damn my pasty physics-geek skin with its null resistance to light!) A few beaches, some general sightseeing, Turkish baths, pool, swimming, bartering ... all good fun! It seems odd to be home, especially as my flatmates are all gone for the weekend & I'm all alone! :sosad:

    Oh well, I'll have to find other things to keep me entertained, like computer games. :D

    And I would like to add my voice to the chorus of dissent against Windows Me: the Devil-OS :evil: Never have I seen anything so capable of insidiously destroying a computer from within. I shudder to think of the hours I had to put in on my dad's old machine and my old laptop trying to keep them alive.

    And get well soon Ara; whichever of your head, feet or other appendages is giving you gyp, may it quickly be made well!

    Visited "SeOikea.fi" site only a little while ago just to see if there were anything to cheer up my Friday evening, but from the start the site came up as something aimed for women. I totally hate that love-this-love-that attitude. :nolike:

    In case you do not know, "Se Oikea" translates as "The Right One", when it comes to dating. Why there can't be sites like "Meat Desk" or "Buy Your Partner?" Should just bugger to get to the town...

    Guard your accent!. :p ;)

    @The Magpie: Was Turkey really that good? I've just got a last minute kind of an offer through my godmother. Kind of a student trip, which suggests some company at the bottle.

    Like ships that pass in the night, eh? ;) Well then, hello & cheerio Uytuun! :wave: Enjoy yourself & tell us all about it when you get back (or find an Internet cafe); I'm sure we won't have gone far! Just remember: it's zed; not zee, zed.

    @ chev: and yes, Turkey was awesome. If you're going with Uni mates, all the better. It's not a relentless-clubbing kind of place (thank God!) and the people are really friendly, at least where we went in the south-west. If you can find good traditional-style Turkish baths, definitely give it a go (although the heat may be too much for some!). Of course, a lot depends on who you go with, and the bunch I went with were really good. No arguments, no pouting, no hesitation on helping out those who were short of Lira. And I managed to teach the Turkish guy who ran the bar at our apartment complex to say "cheerio" by the end of the holiday. A pity I didn't pick up more Turkish, but almost everyone has either English or German. I'd definitely give it a go, if you've the opportunity.

    I just read a major spoiler about the new Harry Potter. Absolutely gutted, I was looking forwward to reading it when it comes out tomorrow. It;ll ruin it for me now.

    Here's to hoping it's a hoax...

    [​IMG] I considered it a downgrade because quite a lot on the laptop isn't compatable with Windows 95 :rolleyes: and I never had any problems with it either. The lady that looked at it thinks that it probably had a faulty HDD and Battery from when we bought it.
