    What I will say is this: Lads, don't buy a Toshiba Satellite Pro. We've had it for just over a year, and somehow, it manages to be the slowest machine going.
    AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    (yes, it runs Windows XP. I'm not sure how much of the problem that is. Yes, I will eventually install some linux distro on it or something)

    I had one, not sure if it was a Pro version but it was fustratingly slow. Wouldn't move at all - that said, I think the pittance number of RAM didn't help. How I bared with it, is beyond me.

    Got some free earphones in the post. Managed to misplace them after less than a minute but found them again a few hours later. \o/

    Huge +1 on avoiding the Satelite Pros, I had many problems with mine. The most annoying one was when it would constantly overheat and shutoff doing basic things like web surfing etc etc.

    They were free on play.com last week if you used a discount code. It was only for the one day though. Can't beat the freebies thread in Bargain Alerts. :D

    LOVE.

    I've only read the first one, but I sped through it in about a day. (I'd bought it as a present for my brother so I read it really quickly before I had to give it to him :p)
    It was so hard to put down! :)

    You have the first 12 seasons of the Simpsons, you're set, don't get any more.
    You may have already gone a Season too far tbh.
