I expect a fair few of the job losses will be in old Blighty?

Call me Mr Cynical but...

Bad news: Over the next 6 months week Sun are to loose 5000 jobs 'worldwide'. Oh No !!

Good news: In the following 6 months Sun create 5000 jobs in India. Hurrah !!

Rather annoying though that windows XP won't run on the 8 way AMD rig.

So you're saying I can't run Quake on it either?

[DimPrawn]

Look, if you want to run 8 cpu's on Windows on the cheap, get a copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server off eBay. It supports 8 CPU's and you can play Quake on it if you wish.

HTH

children with their little toys, one day you'll all grow up and get a real computer to play with
