I'm thinking of doing the same (still got my trusty free 3310 but its starting to get a bit sensitive in its old age :lol: ) But yeah O2 seem to do the best deal for me (wanting the same as you - more texts than minutes). It's called 'Online 50', cost £19 a month for 500 texts and 50 anytime minutes, plus free phone obviously - click here Only bad thing is, they don't do the phone I want at the moment. Oh and I think, going on the name anyway, you have to buy it online - the High Street ones all seem more expensive. Hope that helps Gavin

Web Monkey Try that, it's got laods of tutorials which I found pretty useful, worth a look.

Ok sounds a simple enough question I know, but.... I've got a really small image, and need to make it bigger. But without loosing the quality. It's fairly simple, only black & white (as in, one shade of black - simple blocks of colour), so I've started vectorizing it (tracing over it in Illustrator). But I was talking to my art teacher the other day and he said there's some way in Photoshop (CS) to enlarge pics without losing much quality? Someething about photoshop being able to 'guess' where missing pixels should go (he was teaching another class at the time so didn't get chance to actually show me)?? Can't say I know anything about this, so I was just wondering if any of you knew how this is done? Cheers

I don't know too much about cameras, but my mate has got this - Nikon Coolpix 3200 - and any pictures taken with it have always looked pretty good to me. Well, he's actually got a Coolpix 3100, but the 3200 replaces it so I presume its even better. Add me to msn (gplatt2000@hotmail.com) and I can send you some photos taken with it if that's any help. Also, I'd definitely recommend Pixmania - reall cheap, and anything I've bough from there has been deliered quicker than they said (glad I didnt pay extra for 'next day delivery' as it came next day anyway)

Yeah I set it to 'no' for when I didn't want it- but most ofthe time I did want vertical scrolling, just not horizontal - although having it as 'auto' should mean that, as long as the content is small enough, there would be no scrolling anyway. I think.

I had the same problem aswell, but cant remeber exactly how I fixed it. I know the first thing was to check that the page displayed in the frame had no margins/borders or anything, so the <body> tag was like this: <body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> This might also help - the code for my iframe: <iframe width="375" height="291" scrolling="auto" marginheight="2" marginwidth="0" border="0" frameborder="0" src="gigscontent.htm"> Think the 'margin...' parts could be the importaint bits? I also seem to remeber that didn't actually work on its own: for some weird reason, it only made a difference if I removed the tag at the very start of the code, which Dreamweaver automatically puts in. So yeah check to see you dont have this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> and if you do, delete it! From the page which the ifram is on, and the page which the ifram has displayed in it. Hope some of that's of use to you :turned:

Sooo hard to resist temptation of a gap year traveling! (btw how do I make a link to the full size image? Do i need to have it uplaoded on my own host cos TF seems to resize it itself)

OK Cheers Tom, think I'll give Outlook a go. but when I look in RegEdit, I don't seem to have the 'MinToTray' entry? Also when I try what that website says, I'm confused - it says 'right click on the outlook icon in the system tray' - but isn't the whole point of what it's telling me to do to get it to minimize there?? I'm probably justbeing stupid but I can't din what it seems to be talking about anyway. Any ideas? (I've got OUtlook 2002 btw) Thanks again

Yeah I've got Outlook, I might have a look at that, but really I'd like something that's always on the desktop - so I'm actually always reminded about things. I've tried installing the MOzilla Calendar but can't seem to get it to work (downloaaded the .xpi file but dont have a clue how to then open it (Y) ), but again, I'd rather have soemthing that lives on the desktop if possible....

I'm looking for some sort of free calendar program for Windows - something where its just a calendar, but you can add reminders for eah day (something like on a phone). Would also be nice if it was a Widget so I could have it on my desktop (using Konfabulator atm, and I like the look of the calendar with that, but want to be able to add reminders to each day, which I can then view if I click on that day...) Any ideas? Thanks a lot

Cheers for the replies, found out it was actually just cos my Bookmarks Toolbar was empty, so I've got rid of it and all seems well now :( Thanks again

Nope, not that I know of anyway! Nah I don't, plus it's only started when I switched to Firefox (i.e. when I first opened Firefox after installing it, the 'Firefox Start' page was going crazy too) It's really annoying, just the way it starts and stops. I've realised it seems to do it when you have an extra toolbar (so when the area the page is displayed in changes) - like this page was fine until I opened up a new tab and the tabs toolbar came up. Then I close the other tab, expecting it to go back to normal - but it doesn't. But if I press F11, it stops - until I press F11 again :( Thanks again
-
Ok after everyone's opinions on Firefox I thought I'd give it a go - and I'm impressed! Defintely want to keep it instead of IE. BUT there's one kimnnda big problem - a lot of the time, the page I'm on will just decide to start shaking around - its weird to explain, but it's like I'm scrolling up/down really quickly, so it just vibrates up n down :( It doesnt do it on every page, and its not on specific pages - e.g. this page now is shaking about, but a few mins ago it wasnt :) Any ideas why it might be/how to stop it? Cheers

Yeah jobs in pubs, cafes etc, always gonna be easy to get, just ask around

I wouldn't necesseraly (no idea how you spell that!) say that you're better off building your own - it doesn't always work out cheaper, and you don't have any warranties etc. Although it is a good way to learn more, and may save you money. I'd say definitely have a look at Aires - you can configure your own system exactly how you want it, and they seem really good value - I just worked one out for a system exactly like yours for £820 (with no monitor). BUT what I would say is maybe think about only getting some parts from there - say CPU, motherboard, memory... Then buy your own GFX Card, DVD Burner etc as they can be found cheaper elsewhere - although again, its worth the extra £2 or so you end up paying (when you consider adding postamge costs on buying from lots of other places for other components) as it saves you a lot of hassle. Just have a look round basically! One other thing - I don't really know too much about computers, so correct me if I'm wrong, but is the P4 3.6Ghz REALLy worth the extra £100 you pay for the 3.4?? You could put the 100 to use on a better gfxcard, bigger hd, more ram, bigger monitor, better sound etc.. Hope some of that's of help, Gavin

I've just re-discovered the awesome-ness of Opeth - Benighted after looking through my music file. I'm not a fan of much heavy music, hence not really into much of their other stuff (although i've just listened to Patterns in the Ivy and Harvest and like those). So yeah, any decent tracks by any other artists? OIr just artists in general, anything similar to Benighted! Thanks a lot

Bump?

Erm ok, how do I convert the files? (think most of mine are .avi/.mpeg) Any good free software to download? I've searched on Google but there seem to be loads of different ones, not sure which is best really so any advice would make it a lot easier

I use DVD Shrink to cop DVDs, when I actually have the original DVD, and have had no problems with this. But what I need to know is, how do I make a DVD from movies I have on my hard drive? Ive looked throuigh DVD Shrink's help files, but dont think that's really what the program's for? Anyone know the best programs to use, or any sites with advice etc, would be great Cheers
