    PCSPECIALIST Help an old fart catch up.....

    Thanks Spyder! Helpful!! Interesting reading up on Zen 5 - down to 3-4nm now which is bonkers. They’re getting down towards single digit multiples of the width of a single atom. Incredible really…..

    PCSPECIALIST Help an old fart catch up.....

    So, given my long and uninvolved absence, I shall set a challenge to you all! Help me get a little caught up with all I've missed! When I was last active it was all about AMD processors in their AM4 socket and Intel were really just handy CPU's to get your house fire started. Mind you we would...

    PCSPECIALIST Ahem - Hello! I'm effectively new here.....

    Oooh! Good question!!! No is the short answer. End of last year, or about 2.5 years in, it started to give me trouble and I had to start winding it back. Early this year, just out of lack of time to fiddle with it properly, I reset everything back to default, but I will give it a go and try...

    PCSPECIALIST Ahem - Hello! I'm effectively new here.....

    Well ironically my last post here I think said something like "I'm back and will be chatting away and being involved again". That was maybe two years ago? I can't remember.....time for a re-introduction..... Hello, I am NoddyPirate. I started my more serious PC journey (beyond off-the-shelf...

    PCSPECIALIST Timeless music (It has happened.....)

    .....I have just introduced my two girls to an iconic album from my teens - The Black Album. They are transfixed. The Unforgiven has been on repeat in particular which is no surprise. Their lives will now never be the same. They will thank me later I'm sure. I love how some music remains...

    You are such a sepcial friend that if we were both on a plane that was about to crash and there was only one parachute, I would tell everyone afterwards what an amazing person you were.

    PCSPECIALIST Did you know......

    My existing vacuum also has two blower speeds - on and off! 😃 Extra £10 to send to 'Europe' but still worth it I'd say! (y)

    PCSPECIALIST Did you know......

    Good evening. I am deeply embarassed at my incredibly poor attendance record on this forum through most of 2022. I intend to improve my interactions with immediate effect. There could be no better way to restart proceedings really than to remind you all that this weekend is the offical Biannual...

    PCSPECIALIST So… You Won The Lottery…

    Oh my goodness this is so easy @AgentCooper !! No thinking required for any of the three..... First up is the no brainer. Jaguar F-Type R. In British Racing Green obviously. I quickly specced this one up for myself on Jaguar.ie. It's a 5 litre, 575 PS, 700 ft/lb beauty at a totally steal price...

    PCSPECIALIST So… You Won The Lottery…

    Wow that is incredibly impressive on both counts! I'd even dare say there'd be room for a Pirate and a few dinosaurs in there too? We could share the golf course then. Winner on the course picks the sounds for later.....

    PCSPECIALIST So… You Won The Lottery…

    Yes I really like that! Giving me ideas you are!! (forgive the Yoda speak, not sure where that came from..... :unsure: ) I would probably add a handcrank that I can turn to roughly aim the catapult. I'd then point the kids in the general direction of where they live. I'm not a complete monster...

    PCSPECIALIST So… You Won The Lottery…

    Absolutely correct @DISCOSPARTA - although my list with Humans on it was not implied to be exhaustive. I despise Humans the most, but would add many other things to the list such as cockroaches, although the differentiation between first and second place groups can be quite difficult to decipher...
