    Why PCs Are "Failing"

    Retailers Disable Chip Card Readers During Holidays For Being Too Slow

    So does North Korea, China & Russia yet they all use Chip & Pin! Some might say "the best" (only those that live in 'Murica) but that is the only way that America has ever won a war in the last century!!! Backfired in Vietnam though didn't it ;)

    Windows Turns 30 Today

    Pre-Windows 95..... Ahh the good old days where you actually had to have knowledge of how a computer worked to have it running!

    As a Leicester UK resident I can tell you that there is nothing to be concerned about as the Leicestershire Police make the Keystone Cops look professional!!!
