I've been invited to the Standards New Zealand Office Open XML Workshop on the
23-24 August, and I was wondering if there's anyone heading north around
about that time who I could get a lift with?
Thanks

The only real problem with rolling your own is that it's prohibitively
expensive, unless you're building a really top-end machine. The buying power of
hardly normal, etc is really difficult to improve on.
Alternatively, playing around in the bins in PC-unlimited may well be an
option. The most

to switch to an x86 machine. He wants to "roll his own", rather than

I did the same with my wife's XP laptop a few years ago. Lost XP,
shrugged shoulders and moved on. I would suggest a KDE base

Not as many as *should* use them.
I have one but must admit to laziness with actually putting it on.
I suspect some hardware failures may have been caused by ESD as a
result of my laziness.

I like building systems myself though have a good amount of experience
now. First time was a little scary, if you want to play around do so on

Don't get me wrong I haven't had much to do with hardware over the years, but I

I didn't even think the techs used a wrist strap. But I may be wrong.
Any other ideas?
