    Wishlist

    A few people now have asked me if they can contribute to the costs of running the server that the forum/stats is hosted on. I've always said no and continue to do that. Some of those have come back and asked if they can offer something else instead.

    An amazon wishlist was mentioned and this got me thinking. As an avid Doctor Who fan (in fact where 'Bok' comes from) I've been meaning to upgrade my video library to DVD's at some point but have always found other things to do with my spare cash recently (dual xeons spring to mind!!).

    So, I've done a small wishlist here

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/re...=1AODYFZ05MJG0

    Nobody should feel obliged in any shape,way or form. The box that the forum/stats are on I would be paying for anyway whether I hosted this site or not..

    I'm glad to see this!

    Bok's really taken up a huge amount of slack for me since I've been tied up doing real life things. He & IB really deserve an enormous amount of credit for the time & energy they put into this place.

    I'll be picking something out on the list for you, too.

    Thanks, Bok!

    I'm thinking about participating in this.

    Question: If something is bought, does Amazon update the wishlist by removing that item?

    Edit: Never mind, didn't get a good first look at the site.

    Bloody Heck....
    I didn`t realise how many Dr.WHO? disks there were.
    I nearly copied a film off UK Gold over the weekend which I never knew existed but spent so much time getting the stupid DVBT box to work, it was half over before I got it to write to disk.
    It was a film about the Master and summat to do with New Year Eve 1999 and the change to the Millenium. Quite whatchable.
    We all owe Bok so much for his untiring efforts on the site.
    If there`s ever anything you want put on disk from UK tv channels to upload to you Bok, just say the word.
    Otherwise I`ll add something from the list as soon as I finish squireling funds out of the pocket money (or discouraging the wife spending on luxury items and alterations to the plans for the new house) to get hold of a 939 4400 Dual AMD which are now getting sold off (last few I believe) at less than half price. I`ve got the board, drives, server case etc., just need some good memory (4000 plus pref 4400 same as the cpu) and the cpu before they sell out.
    Then your choice from Amazon will be my command.
    Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.
    One advantage of old age...nobody can tell you how much cake you can eat
