Happy Birthday Polo !!!

I have to say that I have burnt a lot of discs recently both for viewing and as part of the tests and I haven't seen the burn speed problem jmet.

Well speaking from personal experience of the Ritek DL's (see Media and Drives test) they are not reliable. Verbatim DVD+R DL's are the only ones I would recommend.........

Nah she's 10 fella's !!!

Is this New as in the first series with Christopher Ecclestone?

I am gonna copy this for when my daughter is a little bit older !!

I assume that this prog is up to MS usual "high" standards ??

Bwahahahahahaha

I guess he didn't drink the contents of the bottle and then attempt the mods ?

I heard 30th February.......
