They're a bit of a let down. Imagine plain crisps with a chicken stock cube crumbled over them and you have roast chicken flavour.

Haha, especially around Christmas. France have the digital labels though and they are pretty common in Denmark. I seem to remember a place in Germany had them but I'm not there often so can't be certain.

Morrisons? My god, we were lucky to get price tags at Morrisons when I lived in the UK

Hate to sound like 'that guy', but this is VERY old. They have them in all of the nicer supermarkets in Europe (though sadly not the UK)

If you're worried about eBay and suchlike being a little dodgy, try and find a local camera shop (as in a specialist shop for professionals instead of a chain). It may be a little more expensive than on the internet, but if they're any good they will at least offer some kind of aftercare

beat me to it.

In this case, I'd say it actually facilitates comments regarding each gadget.

Honestly, no-one really knows. That doesn't mean it didn't happen or couldn't have happened, in the same way that, 150 years ago, we didn't no about DNA and so on. Maybe we'll know in another 150 years time... maybe not.

Which is why the original Star Wars trilogy is way cooler than Avatar (or the prequel trilogy)

That is unfortunately the case. I can't imaging it being a feature, so maybe MSFT will fix it soon

It took hours! I lost the CD so had to download the ISO instead. I accidentally installed Win7 Pro instead of Home Premium and was told my serial was wrong, so had to start the process all over, but I pretty much followed what you suggested!

That's what I did (and it worked!) but someone else mentions that you can download Win8 from the Upgrade Assistant to a USB and install from there, thus skipping the installing Win7 step altogether.

In retrospect, this would have been the best strategy, but I didn't realise that the Upgrade Assistant allowed installation via USB. Ended up installing Win7 on the SSD and then upgrading from there which took quite a bit longer but it works now! Loving the extra speed, but I still have quite a lot of stuff that needs…

If you have no idea, Youtube is your friend. Oh, and you need hours of free time to screw up and start again (well, at least I did)

I've been muddling my way through bicycle (as in the motor-less kind) maintenance. It's a skill I had no interest in learning but in a country where everyone cycles, the only alternative is spending a fortune on either a car or getting the bike fixed professionally.

haha I realised it was a joke! I was just pointing out that Amazon had (very) few very good deals

Amazon UK had some good deals, and when Best Buy was still around, they really pushed it, but it never really seemed to take off here. But it does exist/has existed on this side of the pond.

Err, yes... good point. But 4d sounds way cooler and is sure to fetch a higher price.

4D is real time 3D.

Impressively, Amazon give free shipping even to mainland Europe if you're prepared to wait a little.
