Boring times?
by Bob Dove 01 May '05

Hi All, Boring times - how about now with a plethora of party political broadcasts! re newborn - many congrats to happy couple. Is it firstborn? Can guarantee some "times" which you may well describe as "interesting" (with some basic Anglo Saxon thrown in) but yes, it is a form of curse if you believe in that sort of thing!

Hi, I'm trying to download the linux display drivers and the NForce drivers from NVIDIA but all downloads seem to be halting at around the 5% mark. I have tried various browsers and methods even wget , but it's always the same - download halts with no error messages. Is this just me or can some one replicate it? Rgds, Martin
