Keyboard (membrane and set of keys). I would have thought it was easier to just go with the whole set and replace everything.

New laptop or keyboard?
Morning everyone.
Still no further forward with the bank, need to go and see them today as I need to put the deposit for my house down by the close of business or I lose it :(
Hopefully they can sort it out and 2 weeks on Friday I'll get the keys.

Can't you just get a new one?
Morning all.
Still on the bus this morning . Not too bad outside though, which is good because I have to get out and walk soon.

My laptop is losing keys at an alarmingly fast rate, 3 keys in 2 days (about 24 hours). One appears to be a simple snap reconnection (Insert key), Delete key requires a reassemblage of the retainer which is an absolute pain, and the backspace key appears to have had one of the metal pins underneath snap (which caused the problem in the first place) and so is now pretty much unfixable...joy.

Fur Fighters is a pretty good game, but my Dreamcast is back in London so I can't play it :(

Hi pb,
I'm sure most of us are feeling the effects of the 'down turn' at the moment!
A few years ago I used to have a 'proper' job and things were fine.
But due to new company owners I had the choice to move to Scotland or leave. I chose to leave -sorry Digi :¬)
Since then my financial situation has *totally* changed :¬(
But I'm learning all the time and enjoying things when they work and go well.
Going back to your earlier ISP post - I would recommend you try using some of Freeola's 'extras' to see if you can make it pay some bills.
Why not create a 'gaming' site to post/document some of your knowledge? I'm sure you could create enough interest to pay a few bills.

FFVII and FFVIII are the same price as MGS1 is on the PlayStation Store, a whopping £7.99 each.
And yes, bob just loves the review forum. Obviously his views are welcome, maybe he should take his opinions and write them as a review for near-guaranteed GAD winning style.

Yeah they are like £5 each i think, maybe a tad more, but worth it in my opinion.
Even better to download if you love RPG's - from the US store, get Suikoden, it is fantastic, i almost enjoyed it as much as FF7 for different reasons i think. Suikoden 2 is the best of the series i think.

Oh and some good news pb. The BBC licence fee is going up by £3 this April 1st. No foolin'.
Apparently they need another couple of million to send c-list celebrities around the world to raise money for charity. Last time they only raised a fraction back.
