From time to time, I come across peculiar entries in the tender bulletins I read through every morning. I thought I'd start sharing them with you: From the latest tender bulletin on the Eastern Cape Provincial Government website: That'll teach them! ...and they are going to wait for the...

Is there anything wrong with playing games on a machine with an Intel motherboard? I don't see them reviewed too often in magazines. I may be upgrading my PC around an H67-based board at some stage [especially now that I have an extra R1000 to play with] and have seen that Intel-branded boards...

With no apparent line faults, the next suspect in the mystery of my intermittent loss of internet connectivity is according to my ISP, my aging DLink 2640U ADSL modem. I would like to test this by purchasing a reasonably cheap [under R500] replacement and using it to go online for a week. I did...

Every so often, I’ll turn on my PC, but nothing appears on the screen and the machine switches off and restarts itself after a few seconds, repeating the cycle until I switch it off. If I unplug my computer entirely and leave it disconnected for several hours, it usually starts up without any...

Hi I am due for some service award money and have decided that I would like to put it towards buying a television set for use with my Xbox 360 and Wii. Are there any brands and models within my budget that I should look at in particular, or are they all much of a muchness at that price...

I had the pleasure of being asked to put together a gaming machine for one very lucky teenager. The father has fairly deep pockets. What do you think of this: Case: Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced PSU: Gigabyte ODIN 720W Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D E LX RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR-1600 2x2Gb CPU...

At the end of last week, I replaced my tired old Soundblaster with an ASUS Xonar DS. While speaker tests [set up for stereo in Windows control panel and Xonar application] check out fine and music and game soundtracks sound as they should, I can barely hear in game dialogue, mission briefing or...

Hi Do any of you know of any games [past, current or upcoming] that gives one the option of driving a Mercedes Benz SLC? My brother saw a pic of one this weekend and would like to take a virtual drive in one.

Good news for us East Londoners [all two of us] BT Games is opening at Vincent Park tomorrow. There will be specials. :love:

For the past three days, I have pressed the power button on my ADSL router, only to have all four network connection LEDs flash on and off. None of the other LEDs [power, status, wlan,dsl or internet] light up. What has worked for me so far is to hold down the recessed reset button at the...

After I had switched over to my WebAfrica account this evening to take advantage of the Portal special on STEAM, I noticed something odd about my line speed: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Um....I have a 384k line. Do you think that something is the matter with my adsl router or that the...

Good day Do any of you know of an online shop that sells VGA boxes that are not prohibitively expensive [over R600]. I no longer have a television set and would like to connect my PS2 and Wii to my PC monitor. thank you

This week is budget week at ELCB Someone came around asking whether there are any courses we might like to go on. I am down for MS Access and have expressed an interest in learning how to create web pages. To my surprise, the boss didn't shoot that down, but said I should find out what the...

Stuck at a particular point in a game and don't know what to do next? Post your problem here and someone from this community may be able to help you. First off, Viva Pinata. I need my Sparrowmints to eat Whirlms in order to romance. How do I persuade them to feed?

I am hoping to buy myself a small [25 inches or less] LCD TV soon [within the next two months] on a budget of up to R4000. It will be replacing my PC monitor and television set. What do I need to know about making such a purchase in order to avoid making an expensive mistake? Which...

I have had to recharge my Samsung E860V [it is nearly 5 years old] more often lately and suspect that it battery may be on its last legs. Do you perhaps know of any online retailers who sell cellphone batteries? I would like to find out how much a new battery is going to cost so as to decide...

Before any of you say anything about hearing voices.... As of this weekend, I have been unable to hear anything other than background music when watching DVDs. Voices sound muffled or echo when I am playing games, though again, there is nothing wrong with the music. I have not enabled the...
