    Interest in the Toshiba laptop, please. I am just checking the fine details from the archived specs to see if it will do the job i would need it for. Can you confirm if there are any options for virtualisation in the bios, please? - - - Updated - - - Withdrawing interest on the Toshiba laptop.

    Closed Laptop of good repute

    Hi, I am looking for a laptop, ideally with a CPU rating at least around 4000 on Passmark, with 4 gigs of ram, USB 3.0, 15.6inches or bigger. I need the screen and keyboard to be unmarked and fully working, but I am not too fussed about the condition of the outside of the case, as long as it is...

    Thread closed

    Amirant is the worst, most internally-political part of this site. I have posted innocuous threads that have been deleted within seconds. I have posted a thread on national 'Have your prostate checked' day encouraging people to have their prostate checked, and that has been deleted as off-topic...

    Court Blocks Illegal File-Sharing Website

    If you take all the legal aspect out of it, can any of you honestly come to me and say that when somebody or a company spends money on making something, and you want it, you have a right to just take it without paying? Any one of you that believes that, I would quite happily come and rob your...

    a decent Amiga sound sampler

    I can not remember if any version of Technosound supported direct to disk recording, but if you go for Megalosound it supports direct to disk recording. There will be a sound quality advantage if you do that on a machine equipped with a SCSI drive, as IDE drives cause a conflcit with DMA access...

    The coolest thing you were offered for free but had to turn down?

    Following the sales thread for the first front projection TV, I thought I would document the coolest thing I could have had for free, but had to turn down. My Uncle had a CRT projector that had been salvaged from an unlicensed cinema stored under my Grandad's snooker table for many years. When...

    Amiga web browser

    As a stop gap, could you soft a kick 3.1 rom legitimately obtained from Amiga forever? I think you would need to rip the rom from WinUAE to get it to work in your A3000. You could use a version check in the startup sequence to see if 3.1 was kicked, and if not get it to kick it, then on the...

    Yet more BBC F1 ranting

    I'll keep it simple. The BBC did a backroom deal to retain live coverage of some of the races and allow Sky to have the complete Live and HD package. Even though they had a contract until 2017 and offers to offload the contract to a partnership C4 and C5, retaining the free to air status, they...

    Closed PC PSU Modified for Amiga use

    Withdrawing interest. Sorry, I had a think about it and I do not think this will quite do the job for me.

    Closed PC PSU Modified for Amiga use

    Registering interested. Is this going to be safe to use as an external supply, or do I need to keep it in an AT case? Has the supply had much use?

    Blockout day

    I love the way that the MPAA and RIAA continually get the grief, yet the Industry Trust, who are right on our own doorstop and who take a very mature approach towards the problem. I should know, because they asked yours truly as one of the people right on the bottom of the pile to become an...
