    It would be for multi-tasking etc, and also a higher graphical burden would be put on the processor.
    You have this processor I take it? :p

    Withdrawing all my money from my Post Office account and putting it in my bank account on Thursday. Will keep €200 out for football membership and FIFA 12.

    Then I will start getting rich.

    Coindicently, your great gran-aunt has died in Nigeria, and has named you as her heir. To release this money to an person overseas, certain fees need to be paid. Transfer a small release fee of 2000 to me and I will ensure her fortune of 20,000,000 gets to you.

    Sincerely,

    My essays always end up with stupidly intricate back stories a la Bernard from Black Books.
    Bernard: It couldn't be simpler. You've got the academic who survived the Stalinist purges and is now having flashbacks to that time. There's his daughter whose long bitter marriage is falling apart around her and the journalist who's investigating the academic because he suspects he was never in Russia at the time and then he falls obsessively in love with the daughter and sacrifices his career to become a lense grinder in Omsk.
