2 lb greengages, from trees I've walked past a hundred times and never noticed. Just on the verge of being perfectly ripe.

Thanks skedone. I called the computer shop today, and they could fit me out with XP, including work for £80. Confirmed too, that the computer would be faster with XP, which begs the question, what goo ... |
