I would put in a good word for Zen. Unlike BT, they tell you what is happening and, I don't know why, but since moving from BT my speed has doubled. I moved from BT because when my speed dropped below dial-up the assumption was that the "fault" was at my end. It turned out to be faulty equipment at the exchange but unless you complain they leave it.

[quote]WITH one as the first whole integer[/quote] I see you are starting to come around. [quote]Ten becomes the tenth integer ARRIVED AT[/quote] No, you have only used nine. I note that you settle on the middle of the class intervals when justifying your statistical analysis. It is the class boundaries that cause the problem, not the middle. Anyway, Christmas has finished, the relatives have gone home and I can get back to normal, but I shall remain firmly in the mathematical camp

[quote]Sigh....wrong, Starkers..[/quote] He is correct. Our calender, whether you use the Gregorian or still adhere to the Julian was given to us by the Romans who did not have a symbol for zero. So, from the start of AD: 1st Year I 2nd Year II 3rd Year III 4th Year IV 5th Yea

[quote]now I hand fred an apple...how many now? 1 but by your reasoning, he has 2......[/quote] He has 1, because, it is only at this stage does he start counting. [quote]2000 - 2001 = year 1 2001 - 2002 = year 2 2002 - 2003 = year 3[/quote]etc. Ignoring your arbitrary origin of 2000, the class intervals are ill defined and the class boundaries overlap; does 2001 go into the 1st or second interval?

I heartily agree! Since the time of tally marks, the human race has counted from 1; therefore, the first decade did not end until the end of Year 10. Now if it is a chance for a party, that is a different matter, but ignoring the fact does not invalidate the fact.

Just built one with the i7 860 and am more than satisfied with it. Slight issue with getting a fan controller as the box comes with 6 fans and not enough headers on the MB and I can't get Soundpackager to work with W7 64 bit, but that is nothing to do with the processor.

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="3" id="2468308"]You'll have problems with Outlook 2003. It stores passwords in a location which is unavailable to Vista/W7. Each time you connect you will have to type in your password...![/quote] That's a bu**er! It looks as if my daughter will get her wish and inherit 2003 for her XP machine, although I doubt whether I will get a financial contribution towards 2007.

Many thanks to Ausvet, AzDude, Bushman & stakers for your sage advice. The only reasons that I shall probably build one is that anything I put together, I can dismantle or adjust, it will have media and not a restore function and it keeps me from cleaning duties with you know who! My only debate left is do I keep the original rig as a standby or re-use the case - a CoolerMaster Black Widow.

If I get the urge to use W7 or get bored, do I cannabilise my present rig or build a new one with 64 bit? In addition, apart from mb, memory, power supply etc, what sort of cpu do I need? Many thanks on any guidance given.

It is a skin that I habitually use, but have had problems with it on and off. However, this is the reply I obtained from Stardock Support and it has worked: "Set the theme to something other than Diamond for the time being. Make sure MyColors is installed correctly by verifying it with Impulse. To do so: -Launch Impulse. Right click on the entry for MyColors and choose "Verify application" -Impulse will check the integrity of the installed applicat
