  1. Really?? How does he see over the dashboard? Pedantic as ever That's me.

  3. Thanks - that article has helped solve the problem.
  4. I already have the pictures on my PC, but my new iMac does not seem to be able to find some of them from the web via iTunes. I thought if I could locate the actual files on my PC I could transfer them into iTunes.
  5. Hi all, Anybody know how to locate where the cover pictures for music albums are held on a windows PC?
  6. Phew!.......thought this was going to be about something else entirely.
  7. +1. It'll never make it to production in today's economic climate. Mind you, I'm old enough to remember a time when Volvo did produce stylish and desirable cars. For example ...... http://volvoadventures.com/us/1800Mod.html
  8. One thing you might be able to help me with - whether to go for the 20 inch or the 24 inch iMac. Ideally I would prefer the 24" but it is a bit big for my desktop. The question really is - does the screen image look better, or clearer. The resolution of the 20 inch is 1680 x 1050 and the 24 inch is 1920 x 1200.

    Just some pics...

    Are these new calipers as well as disks?
  11. Thanks for all the inputs and advice. If I was to consider buying an iMac, where is the best place to go? Are mainstream online PC suppliers any cheaper than Apple's own site or their retail stores?
  12. I'm a northerner!!! Wallet in Time Vault! I was thinking more along the lines of sourcing the kit in Marine Stainless Steel from someone like Titan Bolts and buying the bits as components. Budget = £20 + paint + losing a Sunday I painted some of the visible bolts with aluminium paint - looks OK IMO.
  13. Thanks for all the replies. I now just have to balance out the extra cost involved against the positives of security, stability and better design. Not an easy decision.
  14. Thanks for the quick and helpful response, I've embedded a few follow-up questions.
  15. My PC is a bit long in the tooth, has loads of software on it, and is getting very, very slow. So slow, in fact, that I have been considering upgrading to a newer, and faster model. I'm not a great fan of PCs (Windoze), and for many years was a member of the Acorn owners club. I found the user interface and the software generally more intuitive than Micrsosoft, and the platform more robust, less prone to crashes etc. Alas, Acorn is no longer an option, but Apple is. I had a look today at iMacs, and have to admit that they look very impressive, and the software seems stable and fast. The only downside is that they are much more expensive than the equivalent-spec. PC. Does anyone have a lot of experience with them, and if so, can you recommend moving platform? Would there be difficulties with retaining my internet provider, for example, (btinternet.com) or is it straightforward to transfer my account to an iMac? How easily do Word and Excel files translate to the platform? My main use is for internet access (this forum and banking, mainly), email, word processing, image processing/storage and audio storage. I am not into gaming or anything like that so don't need powerful graphics cards. Any advice would be gratefully received.
  16. +1 Can't really add anything to what has been said before.
  17. +1 Both my kids had Puntos and they are really quite good to drive, fairly reliable and cheap to maintain.
  18. Around £345 including material and vat for a quality job. Best to remove the bumper for a top finish. Sorry, can't help with a recommended repairer as I live in the Extreme North. Alex. Have you got somebody in Perth that does a good job, Alex? Yes mate, there is a guy just down the road from me that I use most of the time. I can put you in touch if you wish. He is a bit slow but he turns out a good job. Thanks, Alex. I'll keep that in mind, as I think by this summer my bumper will need some attention.

  20. Justice???? That's one hell of an assumption to make.
