Re: Forum Slow Running & Hanging

I don't get it. This is just a text based forum. With links to photos and videos stored on other websites. So why is it so bloody slow? It's like 1996 era dial up modem internet connection speed. Time to get the hosting guy to put this site on his Windows NT computer with an ADSL connection. New Ha...

Re: What laptop should I get?

The budget does allow to buy new. There's 3 new laptops in my shortlist. ;) As a user experience I think Windows has gone downhill since 7. Especially bearing in mind that the competition in Linux has moved on nicely over the last 10 years... I don’t like Windows and avoid it as much as possible bu...

Re: What laptop should I get?

I've added a poll and edited the first post - for my list of leading contenders :epopc: :think: My answer has to be “I haven’t a clue”. The best experience I had with a Windows computer was a Dell but that had a corporate build copy of Windows 7 Pro. I know Windows has improved massively since then...

Re: I have joined the mainstream

This hobby is not important to me anymore so I guess it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the music. I never really saw Hi-Fi as a hobby, I just wanted to listen to music. Ultimately my main system was chosen because it had a remote control. Is the frequency response of that remote control accura...

Re: Royd A7

Thanks, sounds like the way to go. I was kind of hoping that Dr Bunsen might drop by and point out that Joe Ackroyd was a genius and always mounted dust-caps askew, then smeared them all over with milky gunk (his being a genius and all). I am sorry to tell you that unfortunately “Dr Bunsen” won’t b...
