I really love all the new stuff thats been done on the Special Reserve site especially the Top Posters Page.

However I was thinking it may also be useful to have a Top Ten claimed games list, or claimed DVD list for gameaday and filmaday respectively.

I think it would be a good idea and it may also help customers with their buying decisions.

What does everyone think.

My resolution is only 800x600, and I like it that way...I could force my resolution higher but then my 200Mhz PC would struggle. Besides the writing is clearer this way.

Ummm, Debian, Red Hat and Corel are all distributions of Linux but yes, Mac will rule the world.

That reminds me... err... Tony, I agree damn near all of your prices are great but take a look at the price of Goldeneye. £29.99 well I can literally walk down the road and pick up a brand new copy with all the packaging for £9.99!

Ah yes, you have a cube don't you. Well, I think there must be a player out there for Mac that plays avi/mpegs somewhere.

I agree that Quicktime is far superior though! I want a Mac but I can't afford it. Ah well, Progeny Debian will have to do until I can get Red Hat or Corel.

Tony, are quicktime downloads ever going to appear on the SR sites?? :)

Also, I have to say well done because the forums are getting a lot better in terms of quality etc...

'Well Done!'

Game: As a professional in this field, I could go into a long explanation as to why that's total bollards, but I won't. The fact is that almost every one views the web at 800x600 regardless of monitor size. Mainly because 1024x768 is still very small, but usually because it slows down a PC. Trust me, if you make a site for 1024x768 you are buggered.

Tony: The resolution has a very minute affect on download speed. We're talking bytes here.

Most people have large monitors anyway...

The key word here is "most". And who want to wait half an hour for a page to load?
