Yes indeed, which is kind of what I was saying before.

My main work machine is all about power and to heck with the aesthetic, but a living room media center machine needs to look good and perform well.

Thanks! Glad to be hear. How do I go about changing me notification email address. I would like all of email notifications to be sent to <email address snipped>. The current email is my work address and is causing problems. Please change ASAP!

Mitzi - it has been changed...

What they all said :) Welcome my friend.

onion -> pickled

weeell, the computer is under the desk, nobody sees it. A good Zalman cooling system can render any computer almost silent, and you can always put a fancy screen on the desk, to impress visitors :)

Not when there is no desk to put it under. Many lounge resident media centre PCs live on display in the room, rather than hidden away, so need to be part of the furniture rather than stuffed underneath it :)

Hi Mitzi, a very warm welcome to the DaniWeb community.

Big-bellied, aluminum, robot mice are SALIVATING over delicious marshmallows, easily.

Megalomaniac -> egomaniac

Will Dani ever sell daniweb?

I am not clairvoyant.

Not just you. My main workhorse PCs are as ugly as sin but as functional as your deepest tech fantasy could wish for.

However, the computer in my lounge has to look good, sound quiet, and be functional. Which is where good design comes into play.

You are mistaking this discussion for one which has a topic.

I know, it is really freaky isn't it? I hate it when that happens :)

Hi Flymo, welcome to DaniWeb. Do you like lawnmowers by any chance, given the username?

spring -> Tigger

I got 70% which I was rather impressed by seeing as I have a UK driving license (clean, and held for some 25 years now) and the rules/signs are very different here. I have never driven in the US either.

Just goes to show that common sense is common sense wherever you are, I guess.

Heights, heights and heights.

Something to do with a fear that my specs would fall off and be lost forever, if I recall correctly.

Managed to cure this at age 17 by doing a parachute jump with the Paras at Aldershot (UK Army), 3000 feet, up in a training plane with a big hole in the side, no doors, and just jump out. Loved it, and did a number of other jumps after as a result. I still have my certificate from the paras saying I am officially a member of the Order of Flying Pigs (given to civilians that jump with them.)

Apparently I am Bugs Bunny. Which is odd, always thought of myself as a cross between Mr Magoo and Mr Bean.

Don't forget the classic support solution, stolen from that superb UK sitcom 'The IT Crowd' (written by the same chap who was responsible for the equally brilliant 'Father Ted') of:

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Reason I use a PC rather than a Mac? You can't build your own Mac from off the shelf parts, you can't upgrade your Mac as easily (for pretty much the same reasons as you can build one from off the shelf parts) and PCs are what I know, so why change to something I don't?

Actually, I do have a Mac, one of the 17" lampshade iMacs in fact, which I bought because I'm a sucker for design and that has to be one of the most iconic computers ever. :)

Hi Jaseva, welcome to the Daniweb community.

That's my feeling to be honest, a few rogue ads have slipped through and being of the in your face variety made themselves very noticed.

Unfortunate, yes. End of DaniWeb as we know it, no. :)
