Where are you? I might consider that. It didn't cost me much in the first place, but OTOH almost all of it has been replaced (half of the case, the backplane, the PSU, and the floppy drive are the only original bits in there). |

Hey , I'm in Belgium. I keep hoping that one day I get enough cash together for a modern riscos machine.But the A7000 is really getting on my nerves,so I really want to get a faster repleacement for it. It doesn't matter if it's all not original. The only thing I need is a mobo+strong arm(and of course vram) the rest I can transplant from the A7000. Think about it if you are willing to go to all that trouble to ship it to belgium and arrange a method of payment (paypak or banktransfer).
I would really appreciate it  |

I would really appreciate it Won't it cost a fortune to ship it to Belgium? I'd be worried about it not surviving the journey if I just stripped out bits. Can probably work out payment a bit more easily. You don't ever come over here for any of the shows by any chance?
The biggest problem with long-distance shipping is that I'm disorganised enough that it'll take me ages to get around to doing it.

I do plan to get to the wakefield show at least once ! But it hasn't happened yet. My A7000 was also shipped from the UK, I believe it was £30 which included the heavy RO3 guide. It wouldn't bother me if it took you ages. Again if your willing and can find the time, please do contact me

Right. I've got rid of Safari, and am now using Opera exclusively.
Let's see how it goes How did it go?
I gave up because I didn't like Opera 
I'm now using Firefox. And it's great - faster, and doesn't hang.
Why the hell can't Apple write a decent browser?  |

I'm using Camino now. It's lovely. It's FireFox with a proper Mac UI.
I think it might have to become my default browser. |

Hmmm. I think I was thinking of another browser...
Anyway, I was still using Safari until a few days ago (I never really got on with Opera), but it hung on me one too many times. So I switched to Firefox - and never had a single problem.
I've just installed Camino, and got rid of Firefox on my Dock. Let's see how it goes |

Mac mini (1.66GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 RAM (needs upgrading badly ), OS X 10.4.?) Oh, doesn't it just?
I've got *exactly* the same setup - and when you've got more than a couple of apps open at once, it bloody drags. I bitterly regret not getting 1GB when I ordered it, but I'm used to RISC OS and didn't think it'd need that much memory
As it is, it's very expensive for me to upgrade. As I just don't trust myself not to bugger the machine up if I attempt to do it myself...
I got my Mini upgraded from 512MB to 1GB today. A definite improvement! |
