Guvnor at work looking for a fast 10-12 port network hub is a bit confused as far as specs go. So am I come to that. :-) Can anyone recommend a fast one, or what to look for in the specs to see how fast one is? Price is less of a consideration than speed. TIA. Mike.

Do they have the same attitude in the USA as other abroadians - ie, No, you can't change anything? I assume not given the number of hot rods about. Does stuff have an annual emissions test a la the MOT?

Must be under £500, smaller than a Xsara / Mondeo etc. Preferably Diesel or smallish petrol - at least capable of 35mpg but able to go on the motorway fairly happily. Height adjustable driver's seat and adjustable steering wheel a bonus. No Vauxhalls, no Fords...

Did the CD arrive ok? I sent it through internal post from work so it might take a few days... Third time trying to post this message, for some reason it's not posting it??? -- Abo BATracer: Browser Based Racing Simulation: http://batracer.com/-1FrontPage.htm?6q0

RST Lump. Fun? Good weather is coming in and I'm looking for a summer project. My V6 Astra wasn't as good as I thought it'd be last year...

Going to pick up the Rangie. No radio in it, so will be really pikey and have the V8 accompanied by The Cramps, Devilish Presley, Zombina and the Skeltones, The CruxShadows and Black tape for a Blue girl, plus whatever else I feel like copying over to the phone. 4Gig memory cards are cool. -- Carl Robson Audio stream: http://www.bouncing-czechs.com:8000/samtest

CD in the post, sent though internal mail at work (ahem) so I hope it arrives... I put a couple of Epoxies albums on there, since Zombina are supporting them. And Necromantix 'Return of the Loving Dead' for added Psychobillyness -- Abo BATracer: Browser Based Racing Simulation:

I'm after a head unit. It looks like it's going to be between a Becker Mexico Pro or a Pioneer DEH-P77MP. The Pioneer has a higher quoted power output (27W VS 17W IIRC, both DIN), but the Becker also looks far more standard whereas the Pioneer is about as understated as aftermarket head units not made by the likes of Becker get. Anyone heard both? I've always liked the Pioneers I've had but...

On my rather old tube of 'regular' Araldite it says it is ok for metal. If this is so then why would I ever use one of those 2-part adhesives sold specially for metal? I mean the sort of thing that is usually coloured grey and can often be bought in car accessory shops? I need to glue an aluminium ring (about 1.5 inches diameter and about 4mm thick) to a plastic base. There will be some...

Ah, my beloved Mk2 GTi decided today was a good day to knacker not just one but two piston rings. Upon checking the compression these were the readings. Dry. No1 - 45 psi. No2 - 30 psi dropping slowly to 0 No3 - 115 psi

Is there some sort of statutory cooling off period for mobile contracts? My bird's just signed a contract in phones for ****ig you and given their pressure sales tactics it's liable to be rather unsavoury.

Now my Tiscali account has been cancelled I've lost my email address. I don't want to use my ntl one because it was used in the past when I signed up to stuff so it's full of spam... Can anyone recommend a decent, free, pop3 email service? I signed up for gmail but their pop service keeps timing out so it's pretty useless... A decent amount of storage would be handy, but I don't need...
