While you're banging on about that subject can one of you please "sell me" a PC (decent spec) ... which doesn't sound like the planes down at City Airport taking off.

Siggi gave me an old laptop for authoring on, but I'm not a fan of the hunching-over one has do to.

I was gonna start a thread in the Geek Zone about this very subject, but look at this, here you all are congregated in the same thread anyway.

If its just for word processing, internet browsing and youtubeing the any off the shelf PC will do.

What sort of budget do you have?

I believe the word would be "comfortable" (somewhere between 300-500 notes I suppose).

But yes, predominantly it's for word processing, editing (on-screen) as well as the traditional type of communicating, listening to music and general internetting. Anything I suppose that includes a webcam, perhaps going back to having a bigger screen too, with integral speakers - cos I get annoyed at these ones falling off the desk all the time.

I just hate feeling like a sitting duck when I walk into PC World

If you're happy with the laptop but not the screen, can add a keyboard mouse and screen to it.

I've got a slightly dog-scratched screen you're welcome to have (may polish out, probably a bit too irksome if it won't).

Alternatively, if you're happy with the size of the screen, you can always buy or make a holder to raise the laptop screen to an appropriate height.

Feck me. 60k for a desktop PC job.

[P.]

But 40-60k

If I was in/on edge of London I'd drop a CV but currently I'm on that wage outside of London if you minus the commuting and about 3.5-4 hours wasted commuting Shame.

[Motorhate]

Blimey, I work in IT in London and I'm on the bottom end of that payscale. Company I work for is notorious for paying below the payscale but I do fuck all all day - literally FUCK ALL.

A true IT professional does it for the love of it and doesn't consider the money.
