I sooo love John Lewis - they are the nation's finest example of responsible capatalism and the CEO has his pay capped at ?500,000 compared to M&S's ?15 million package. Staff have even told me products to buy that they don't sell if they think they are the best for the customer. Investment bankers take note society has wised up to the greedy parasites you really are and the damage you have done.

Roll over, Godwin's Law!! We have a new topic which has become inevitable for any thread over 10 posts long.

I didn't know I build computers in my mum's bedroom. Stragely enough I left home from the age of 18.


And as for your willy waving it seems the banks have too much money than sense. No wonder this country is in ruin.


With the virtual IT system does this mean people's money will disappear into virtual accounts?

@acm, what ever.


If you were polically aware, which no doubt you're not, there was a talk involving Michael Portillo and one other politician a couple of weeks ago about fears by people losing money in various banking transactions or money disappearing from bank accounts in relation to the banking crisis.


I've worked with consultants before so I'm afraid I see consultants are nothing special and overpaid. You can wave your willy as much as you want but it is likely to get chopped off here.


Please stay on this thread as I'm sure some people are too happy to buy low spec office PC. It doesn't bother me the slightest.

WHAT A W@NKER


Still, it's made the buying of a crappy ol' desk-top PC way funnier.

Poor old Otta only wants to go to John lewis, wave his vouchers & get outta there.


I can't imagine that kind of talk from the Mac crowd.


Oh no, we rub our neatly trimmed facial hair and marvel at the sheer joy of ownership.


I suggest you join us, step away from them there arses Otta.



You're far too good for them and you know it.



NETTE:)

As with any other music fan (because there is rhythm in circuit boards) I used to be a fan of Apple until they became popular with people I considered to be less discerning.


At that point the only viable route is categoric rejection. See those people outside the Apple Store? They're all listening to the Lighthouse Family.

THe Lighthouse Family is what I term as commercial music.


Like I said before, Apple products uses quality components but they come with an added premium on top. The Iphone cost ?200 to make but retails for ?700. That is a huge profit margin for Apple. For me, the Apple brand has lost its coolness quite some time ago and now appeals to the don't know any better crowd.


With virtualisation you could run Apple software on a PC machine.


@acm,I've became aware of virtualisation a few years ago and am planning to use it in he next few months to play around with Linux and to increase my PC security.

Mac slaves buying macs made by slaves - it's only a bloody phone

I've been put off them *holds nose* P.C's for some time.


I had an office in Crystal Palace, dozen work stations, server blah blah blah


We moved 3 times, new machines, top spec, future proofing blah blah blah


Changed companies, consultants, technology blah blah blah


For the love of God, i'd rather have driven nails into my eyeballs in retrospect.


Sold the company.


And changed to working in other studios & companies mostly decked out in Mac's as the design business seems to be.


I'd rather retire than go back to all that grief, forget the money, there's more to life than a few hundred quid & chasing round after some "fix it all" programme/warrranty


All this P.C assembly is like student cooking, chuck this & that in &...


"Hey presto, I'm full up now "


As for being a certificated blah blah whatever, they're as slave to that way of thinking & as brainwashed as any mac user they flick that accusation at. They just charge you for the honour.


Horses for courses, just don't spend your money unwittingly on a 3 legged nag.


( extra legs available as an upgrade )


Nette:-S

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
