Anyone see old Barrack arriving in the UK? Alister Darling drives all the way from London to Stansted to shake the blokes hand and walk him 50 yards to Marine 1. That was a useful productive use of his time!!!!

Well it's getting harder to claim expenses - look at the witness he's got to prove he drove there!

Then tuckered out he can claim £'000's for an overnight stay in a second home - the equivalent of a typical doctor's annual salary for one night's sleep-over, plus the cost of the obligatory porn movie - he's not called Darling for nothing.

It was... *googles again*... this!

You can resize it if you likes, I've forgotten how again.

Resize? Looks like she resized them herself with a foot-pump (don't ask where she shoved the nozzle)

I do wonder, though, if it's properly tared. I hate it when laptops have a tendency to tilt backwards...

Fiiinck!

Oh, and I want this one for at home:

There was a competition during CeBit where you could vote for two new teo-x colours. I voted for an orange-y yellow. Didn't make it.

Good point. The keyboard does look pretty weighty, but then the screen looks moreso. Hmm.

Exactly.

Accident-prone. In my experience.

Yummy! Which model are you after? I'm considering building my own; would cost quite a bit less.

Just the basic one. I want one because of energy efficiency and size, it'd be only for storage and documents, a typewriter. Also, I need a computer with XP for all the things I can't get to run on the Mac. Though I might get one of those cute Dell netbooks with Ubuntu... So many options, so much time to make up my mind till I have the cash.

Oh, and my current PC is diy. It was pretty cheap apart from the lovely but huuuge Chieftech case. But the components in there are crap. It sounds like a Diesel engine.

Stopppppppp! Stop talking about the pretty things! I can't afford them, DON'T TAUNT ME!!!

I can't afford them either.

But looking at the pictures helps, doesn't it? Says the girl who can have a meal by browsing cookery books.

Haha! I dunno. The pictures do help a bitttt. But mostly the ludicrous prices calm me a bit.

But still ... want.

I'm going to save up all of my pennies and build a nice PVR media centre machine. (Except by that point I'll probably need a new main workstation too.)
