25 year old BIOS to be replaced at last. originally intended to only be used on about 250,000 PCs.

About time too!! Now we just need less bloatware 64bit operating systems, and maybe fibre to the house ![]()
Oh you mean just like a mac? lol
I wonder if they could sync it to a 24 hour clock? So that when you're trying to fire up a lappie out of suspended mode at a client meeting at 3pm it's hit the spacebar, BAM, we're up and running... But when it's 8am and you're sitting down with the first cup of tea of the day, it still gives you that nice gentle minute or two to stretch your arms, sip your cuppa and centre yourself for the morning's emails? That said, it'll be fine as long as we don't go back to 2001. I remember a routine of arriving at the office, going straight to my desk to turn the computer on... THEN taking off my coat, going to make a cuppa, sorting through the post, listening to the answerphone messages, prioritising the post-it notes, by which time, maybe, if I was lucky, the PC would be in a position where it would consent to open up Outlook. Sometimes I forget how far things have come. VirtuallyMary

Laptop has more memory, Outlook looks a bit shiner, but still logon then go and make a coffee while it grinds away, synching and doing stuff... ![]()
