1) It has a stand-by time greater than a working day

2) If I push the buttons on the front in a defined sequence it connects to the phone that I was trying to connect to.

3) It has an off switch so that nobody can ring me if I don’t want them to

4) It has caller display so I don’t have to answer it if I don’t want to speak to whoever has caught me in the limited amount of time I have the phone switched on

5) There is no contract. It must be ‘pay as you go’

6) It has at least one ring that isn’t some feeble little tune, but actually sounds a bit like a telephone.

7) It must cost less than 75 quid. Less than 50 quid is even better

8) It should be so unfashionable that none of the types of people who think mobile phones are ‘cool’ would ever dream of trying to steal it.

Here here… although i am guilty of using the phone tunes… Sorry :rolleyes:

Anyone hear of anyone having severe physical reactions to pc games?

Not phyical but psycological:

I remember first time i played Syndicate on the Amiga i was pretty horrified when i used the flamer to set somone on fire and they ran around screaming… that left me sitting at the computer pretty stunned at the time feeling pretty bad about myself.

After i’d done it a few more time though i was loving it… talk about computer desensitizing you.

Talking of OPF have you ever played with the Editor? My favourite thing to do is place myself in the centre of a village with about 4 Hinds chasing me and then trying to knock them out of the sky with Laws… thats gets the old adrenalin going even more so when the pilots bail out and hunt you down on foot, hours of fun 😀

Can you not buy a new battery for it? I found it quite easy to get a battery for mine.

Going OT a bit

going slightly off topic but still in amerian history, why weren’t the Germans present in the colonizing of the americas? Or were they and i just didn’t know about it?

I’ve got a 3310 and have yet to see any reason why i need to get any of these newer phones.

All i need is a phone and text messaging… WAP is c**p IMO and none of the other features appeal either. The only thing that might get me to upgrade is battery quality and better reception. This is because the nokia batteries for 3310’s only seem to last a year before they die (i’ve replaced it once already) and the reception in my house is dire so i frequently have to go out into the garden 🙁

The GeForce Ti4200 are cheap and are VERY good cards

I agree, I have a gainward TI4200 Geforce4 and its great. I bought it last summer and they dropped the price a week later so like Nikumba says best to wait 😉

I just got that myself Ben, sofar it looks good, but I cant run it at 1024×768 because everything goes in slow motion, Im going to hate life if I have to play that game at 800×600 on my 17″ monitor. I thought having a 1.5ghz 512ram and 64mb geforce4 graphics card would handle anything. I hate to think my rig is outdated for new games. BTW, what was that helo sim you told me you liked a long while back?

Dude if you have that spec machine and its running slowly i think you have a problem with it… i have athlon 1800Xp (1.5mhz) 512 ram and a 128mb geforce4 and i no trouble running anything. If you give us a detailed list of your machines ins and outs maybe we can give you a few performance tips 😉
