dextrous

You the man Sigma, you the man. Seriously, you've helped me with a couple of things like this in the past and it's much appreciated mate.

One of the shared Pc's at work that I'm using at the minute is pissing me off no end with about:blank hompages and popups etc. I'm no expert on this sort of thing but the hijack log doesn't look good to me As it's not my PC I'm not bothered about deleting everthing so it runs perfectly, just the stuff that's getting on my nerves. I think I can guess which items I can delete but if anyone can confirm what I can delete that would be greatly appreciated.

I guess it's just because I'm not that disciplined. I install a game and then uninstall it - but don't make a point of going through my registry etc and removing everthing. Demos utils etc all get uninstalled and leave shit in the reg. Also I disable network connections in my audio area - hence no need for firewalls etc At a guess it probably doesn't make that much difference but whenever I've had dual boot I notice the difference in my audio production area.

Personally I'd set up a dual boot. One super clean boot for music and one normal boot for games internet etc.

Gangstarr Step in the arena first got me interested. I actually started practicing after hearing DJ Honda 1.

Totally Adam, me and Matt were watching it the other night and saying exactly the same thing. D ABSOLUTELY murders that beat.

Damn some memories are flooding back to me right now. Indeed Adrian mole on the C64 was turd - exactly as Liam describes it. It was all about Gumshoe, strangeloop and commando on the C64 they were the bollocks. I also remember Lords of Midnight being poo, but that might just be because I didn't understand it when I was 7. Captain Planet on the Amiga was really very shite too.

he he. Fucking great.
