I pre ordered Windows 7 and it was due to be delivered on Thursday (Launch day) but due to the threat of a postal strike the disk has now been dispatched by courier service and will be deliverd today a whole day early! how cool and brilliant is that?
I have been running the evaluation copy for a while now with no issues at all and boy does it save on battery power on my laptop and start up time is amazing

Best game ever on PCW8256 - Starglider by Rainbird, an off shoot, at the time, of BT:-) Mallard Basic was an improvement on Locoscript for the same machine series 8256 and 8512

OMG Locoscript.
I remember that. Good ole Amstrad. I think I had a flight 'sim' on mine.
My first computer was a VIC 20 iirc.

I can remember using IBM's DisplayWrite 4 before Word etc. came along. It wasn't very good!

Hi Digi,
I saw that in the BBC's taster video but didn't realise someone's saying it in an advert as well!
It is a useful little tool - I remember reading your post on it previously :¬)
The BBC bod also says you had to fiddle about dragging/resizing windows to compare two windows on the screen before W7 - not so; from XP you can select the windows in the task bar (CTRL + LH click) and then RH click to tile vertically or horizontally automatically.
To continue the Windows theme -

I got mine there too and chose free super saver.
On Amazon my tracker says WEB CUSTOMER UK Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit
On the Courier site it says WEB CUSTOMER The parcel data has been received.
(Slight exaggeration there I think)
Yeah I've seen the snipping tool before, and in fact used it 5 minutes ago just before reading your latest post.
