Really sorry to hear about your laptop. Sounds like a cooling issue or something?

So you've got a new PC instead?

Yeah we could do with some visitors Would you like to help with the site a_coppard?

{Moved my rig to clean up the site a little, and encourage new visitors to create own theads :-) }

Anyone fancy becoming moderators?

[a_coppard]

Yeah, I'd love to help with the site. I think that I could find you a few visitors.
As regards to my network: Belkin G+MIMO with 3+ connections. 1MEG connection, followed by hardware firewall, Nroton firewalls, and norton anti ivrus, spyware is delt with ad-aware se.
The laptop is mobile-use only. just office left on there now. the processor was overheating and shutting it down forcefully. I swear that If you put water behind it, it would boil it. It was a nice Toshiba aswell. Oh well I guess I did get more for my money (well I definitley did).

If we can get some guys helping out with the website.. I mean at the moment - if we can have vounteers and get the site off and running, then I could hand out money gained from advertising (but obviously, we need lovely visitors first). I'm gunna keep this site pretty open, basically allowing a fairly general content though also fairly on topic. I find moderators step-in a bit too prompt for legal issues these days.

And how do we obtain visitors? That's called great content - which people will refer too ;-)

I know what you mean though, my Dual Core laptop gets crazy hot.

[a_coppard]

I mean I don't mind writing a few tutorials or how to's etc. for the site. I don't minding writing about building something in VisualBASIC or website design kinda stuff. Also then again I could write you something on PC's

Anyway you choose and I'll give you a copy.

The battle of the processor's!!! Intel Core 2 Duo vs. AMD Opteron

[Administrator]

Of course. To be honest I haven't compaired the two, at the moment though I would say Intels are outperforming AMD - but you never know what happens.
