    3 MB connection, max download @ 350 KB

    Just a little add on question.... I know about megabits and megabytes, but what are their shorter terms (such as Gb etc). As a well known broadband company in the UK advertises their speed as SPEECH: "50 megabits", TEXT: "50Mb". Now I thought 'Mb' was megabytes, like 'GB', or is 'MB'...

    How Hooking Laptop to TV??

    I think I read somewhere that VGA (from a computer) cannot be turned into component signal. Although you can buy the cables !?!

    dont know what i want to do

    Have you considered uni - part time or full time? Computer Science or something similar. Your thing on the right under your name says you live in London. There's loads of uni's there so you don't need to move. You would count as a 'mature student' so would get a shed load of grants and stuff...

    Changing to a new pc
