Same here - not been watching it a lot but I liked the maverick but he's been downgraded to a lump!

The Office of National Statistics just gave me the info, and for the real geeks out there, I can tell you 100 in 1823 would be worth, in current money.......7,972. And for the 100 in todays money, that would have equated to.....1.25 in 1823. There's no inflation calculator on their website, but they were happy to help.

Ignore - problem of setting up two monitors on new PC has been solved!

I believe Dil has asked this question about a Refresh website in post 3997 is there such a beast.

I used something called Yrefresher.

Can't remember where I found it, but I'm sure Google can.

re: stuck CD unit.

Start up the file explorer. Right click on the drive and there should be an 'eject' choice. Click it and the drawer should open.

Mega...

Sorted,just purchased a set from Ebay at just under half price,well pleased :-)

just having to renew my Norton antivirus which was preinstalled on my dell before delivery and the renewal centre is asking for "Type the subscription key for the selected subscription service" - cannot find out what this means , can anybody help?

MD Did you get backup discs with it? With Norton it is usually on a yellow label on the CD packet. Either that or the renewal centre will have sent you a code to enter.

Having said that, why don't you uninstall the heavyweight Norton and use something like free AVG antivirus from

AVG antivirus

I use Norton Internet security on my laptop and AVG on my desktop and much prefer AVG - it uses far less resources, updates really quickly (but set your update time to a time of day when less people are likely to be updating - mine is set for 7 am) and has caught everything nasty anyone has ever sent me.

Seymour , have got the packet but cannot see a subscription key number and Symantec did not send me one.

Are there any number on the packet - and m,ore to the point have you paid?

seymour . on the disk there are no numbers and yes paid for 15 months which is ending and got renewal notice from Symantec - bit of a puzzle but have found a phone number to ring

That's the best approach then I think. When you paid 15 months ago did you get any emails? That's the only place you might find the sub key.

seymour , no e-mails , back checked but never registered with them - is that the problem?

If you've been getting service for 15 months then you should be registered. Thinking back I remember once updating Norton and I think I was given a number which I had to write down but wasn't sent to me by email or in any other way. You get an option to re-download at any time but if your machine crashes then without the reference number you can't get a machine with the Norton you paid for.
