No, it's been here for a month or two.

Steve, point of order........ What is our end goal here? I know that laying out one's ignorance for all to revel in is a masochistic route to take, but in R4 Mornington Crescent we all knew when the game had ended.....when someone got to Mornington Crescent. Here, the finish line is, like...

Blimey, you're brave. I hate mitres, and haven't ever tried a picture frame.

No, it's my own computer, and I'm the only person who has legitimate access to it.

Right, I went through that whole thing carefully as instructed, and it did a whole lot of computery stuff in the black box for about 30 seconds...........and still all the folders revert to read only despite me unticking the box.

Blimey, Sploo, you know your onions. How badly could I bugger the whole thing up if I get a bit clumsy in Administrator mode?
