Cheapest CD's and DVD's..
I had expected people like play.com, 101cd.com, (cd)jungle, cdwow.com to be cheaper than amazon. But when I had a check, (tried to see how much it would cost for 3 'current cd's' - maroon 5, f ferdinand, and 2 slightly older ones.. plus the DVD of little britain series 1 dvd) it turns out amazon were cheaper overall (about 3 quid cheaper than next cheapest). Anyway, it doesn't take too long to compare prices. Observations: older cds are cheaper on amazon, where they go up in price if they're not currently mainstream. play cost 9 quid a cd, while 101cd cost about 8.49 for one. Jungle loses on the not mainstream cd's being well expensive, and no dvd? but are 8quid for one.
Also Mexico wasn't significantly cheaper for cd's. Possibly 7-7.50 for mainstream stuff.
summary:
£52.90 amazon.co.uk
£55.94 cdwow.com (all cd's 8.99, littbrit 10.99)
£44.45 cdjungle.com (no little britain)
£55.90 101cd.com
£58.94 play.com
So does anyone know any alternative suppliers?

AMD beats Intel to fastest chip
"PC manufacturers looking for more performance will find they have a real advantage using the AMD chip .... how important it is these days to have the fastest processor or the fastest computer on some set of benchmark measurements? Years ago it really mattered"

Dual CPU Mini-ITX board shown at FPF dual VIA C3 boards are looking like more of a reality (quad cpu stuff too). Plus, Matt: is the Darryl Still that now works for NVidia, the same Darryl Still that used to work for Atari? (Maybe not, unless it's a bit out of date) ah crikey IT IS HIM! - he looks a bit different though!) ...ah it's a sad story...
has nobody done a remix of prodigy's spacehopper mp3 (1.25mb, right click, save target as) - surely it's got potential?

Vauxhall hits Toyota. In Nelson
You can't park your bus on a bridge
You can't park your bus in my house
You can park it in the pool
Don't park upsidedown like this man did
