In that list is also;

Friends
Seinfeld
Desperate Housewives
ER
Greys Anatomy
Big Brother
Survivor (though I knew someone who worked on Aussie Survivor)
I'm a Washed Up Celebrity, Please torture me (is filmed near my home in Australia)

Apart from LOST....snap!

I'll give you a brief run down :

Lost - rubbish
Friends - okay at times, sometimes genuinely funny.
Seinfeld - offensive ( i don't mean a show the pushes the boundaries, i mean a show that is just that rubbish ).
Desperate Housewives - if you like the idea of Jim Henson coming back from the dead and working with almost life like people made from wax then this is your cup of tea.
ER - I used to watch this when i didn't want to study for my Leaving Cert. 10 years later it's still on. Thats about all i know.
Grey' Anatomy - from what i can tell this is ER lite or "ER for feminine men".
Big Brother and Survivor, both "reality tv" rubbish.

Now then, some shows which I think are worth checking out would be

Dexter
Burn Notice
The Wire
and just for ****s and giggles "Dead Set". It's Big Brother, with zombies. And while that should sound and be terrible, it was actually amazing.

+1 to Dragan's summary and recommended list, especially the Wire really stands out

/sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

So now I have a list of shows I have heard of & have not seen & another of shows that I have not heard of & have not seen


Then I guess I have now heard of them here, so back to one list.

Yeah, everybody should check out Dexter and The Wire. Two of the best shows to come out of american teevee. And if a good comedy show is what you like, have a look at both 30 Rock and Entourage.

Anyone here with a PSP? Just discovered a way to use it as a second display for the pc - handy for throwing the toolboxes onto to use the full screen for editing.

Example here:

It appears that eircom is experiencing,..... well...... issues tonight so anyone with eircom and experiencing problems may want to check out here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055469187 - a couple of work arounds being suggested for people to try.

Do ya think that if boards stopped everyone posting during work hours the country'd be more productive and less recessiony? (spot the economist)

WHAT!!!
Seinfeld is the greatest show ever made! Fact! Im telling you, if you watch the shows in chronological order each episode and season runs jokes that overlap and its absolutely hilarious. As is Curb your enthusiasm, which is very similar.

I do agree with you on Dexter though, great show, although it is progressively getting worse, comjpared to the first season which was brilliant.

A series which i watched recently is "The inbetweeners" which is a 6 part Channel 4 series and is hillarious.

What do you mean by tearing the arse out of the hard disk? Turning off desktop search would be a start...

Can you re-format with XP?

Not guaranteed but CTRL-ALT-DELETE, Start the Task Manager, Click the processes tab, and sort on CPU column. The list will flicker in real time as to what is using the most processor at the time.

That might give you a hint.

I am so glad I have never experienced the joys of Vista

Know a LOT of people who have gone back to XP after having a great time with it.

Theres two laptops in our house - one with a 2.7ghz p4 and 512mb of ram and xp pro. another with a dual core and 1 gb of ram using vista.

Guess which one runs faster?? If you guessed xp your right. Vista is a pile of sh!te

Morrisseeee

Vista is grand......IF.......but thats the point, there's TOO many IF's !!!!!!
You will need at least 2GB of RAM, turn off all the eye-candy, and some other admin 'goodies' and have no virus software (that means no Internet) and hey presto Vista rocks ! well....kinda !
Best advise.......stick to XP

Deliverance XXV

I have Vista on my desktop and my laptop and to be honest I would never go back to XP!
Although I'm in the market now for a small 9" netbook, it'll have to have XP as it would never run Vista smoothly with it's specs.

''Never say never.........''
I like Vista (it has a certain 'snazzy' feel to it), Ubuntu also rocks with certain tweeks, but you can't beat XP as a work horse ie. for performance & reliability.

/.......cough, cough, choke, splurts coffee all over table ! :eek:
You're takin the mick surely !
Oly and Pentax.............small !
I'd say they will all survive, especially if they (like everyone else) have manufacturing areas in China et al.

AnCatDubh

windows 7 on netbook is being done presently - lots of how to's on google.

oly and pentax?????? pfffftttttttt....
