    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    Yes and and Hans Zimmer is doing the soundtrack! loved it on the trailer. In my opinion Denis V did such a stellar job with Blade Runner 2049. I really liked Arrival too! The last 5 minutes / end sequence combined with "On The Nature Of Daylight" by Max Richer was mesmerizing.

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    What about the new "Dune", trailer looks awesome, very hard to transfer on the big screen so hoping Denis V pulls it out the bag.

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    What did you make of John Cena's performance as Peacemaker? A lot of people are saying he pulled it out of the bag. Margot Robbie is so perfectly cast as Harley. I haven't seen it yet. :)

    PCSPECIALIST The Amiga 500 Mini

    I thought there was something fishy about Agent Cooper's reply :). That's very impressive!, I see it is on sale on eBay and one recently sold in June. So people still love the C64 and want to know the secret. If I bought your book back when I had a C64 (9 years old ) I would be hoping the...

    PCSPECIALIST The Amiga 500 Mini

    No I never even knew this book even existed. Back then the title alone would have sparked my curiosity so much that not buying it was no longer an option. Did you have a C64 and did you invest in this book? If you did please spill the beans what was the secret :)

    PCSPECIALIST The Amiga 500 Mini

    I had a C64 but never managed to get an Amiga. Lucky for me one of my mates down the road got an Amiga and my other mate got an Atari ST. So I had the best of both worlds! My next machine was a Sega Megadrive which came with a joystick and Batman game. The excitement was almost too much. :)

    PCSPECIALIST Urgent: My autistic child's desktop is not working, please help, it's their lifeline

    Pleased to hear you sorted out this problem it must be a very stressful situation for you and your child. Hope your child is smiling and happy again. Sounds like it could be dirt or a loose connection as you say. With regards cleaning your P.C I personally found this thread very helpful but, in...

    PCSPECIALIST My audio system, so near completion

    Very good Buchardt give a 60-day open return and cover return shipping, that’s reassuring and like you say shows what confidence they have in their products. Those ISOAcoustics Aperta desk isolation stands look really impressive. Please post photos of your speakers on them when you get them and...

    PCSPECIALIST My audio system, so near completion

    Glad you are so happy with your speakers, it must be a very apprehensive time listening for the first time as I appreciate the room, speaker placement, relationship with your other equipment and lots of other things can really change how they sound. Even if you have really done your homework...

    PCSPECIALIST My audio system, so near completion

    Just a quick post to see how your speakers are after the recommended 20 hours running in / loosening up period. I imagine you have probably reached that by now. :) Unless you have already seen this I think you would really appreciate what this guy has done, absolutely insane, there are only 3...

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    I think it is kind of funny and ridiculous that someone like me has faster broadband than certain people on this thread it's a bit like my 90 year old nan burning off Nigel Mansell's Ford Fiesta in her Bugatti Veyron. :)

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    Hi Tony, When you work out what you are actually getting for that £99 a month it actually seems really good value, especially all the t.v!. As mentioned I am used to 100mbps so 649mbps is hard to grasp like with Tom Berry's potential 1Gbps with Starlink later this year. Things are progressing...

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    That is a massive drop in speed because of your house location! Starlink providing potentially 1Gbps is scary fast but Elon is always pushing the envelope :cool:. Sounds like you have secured your place getting in early. £89 is expensive but you get what you pay for, sounds impressive. Like you...

    Must be frustrating especially with Aberdeen getting 900Mbps. Hope it's not too long till you get access to FTTP, 900Mbps must be insane as 100Mbps for me is overkill but if you are backing up to the cloud a lot I understand why you want FTTP speeds. Cheers.
