I'm in need of replacement RAM as my current chips appear to be on the way out. I've currently got 1gb and as I'm not going to be hugely into the PC gaming sector, I don't really need anymore than that, I could go for 2gb if need be but I just need something affordable. Anyway, the advise I...

Last night I returned from what is easily the best live show I have EVER seen, Nine Inch Nails on their Year Zero tour in Wolverhampton Civic Hall. Anyone else here go? It was a fantastic show, the music was great and the visuals were just breathtaking.

My fiance has an old laptop, I mean REALLY old, and there are files on there that we want to transfer to somewhere else, the laptop has no internal disc drives apart from the HDD so relies on an external floppy drive. Problem is that the external drive always comes back with the message "Device...
