What about RS - in Southampton ?
Or Maplins - in Portsmouth ?
Novatech once sold us 150 ECS motherboard-based boxes, quite a number of
which had a faulty 2nd channel, so I ended up having to be creative with
getting all the drives connected .. ( ECS is a cheap & cheerful copy of
MSI )
I heard someone bought a Win_7 box from them, who when he asked how to
get familiar with it ( he was used to XP ), got the brush-off, in very
short order - they refused to help him, in any way
To circumvent this deadlock, I'm going to help him migrate to a Linux
OS, with help/support from/through our Ports LUG
No need to leave anyone out in the cold, like the box-shifters seem to
like to do !

" The power of this life, if men will open their hearts to it, will heal
them, will create them anew, physically and spiritually. Here is the
gospel of earth, ringing with hope, like May mornings with bird-song,
fresh and healthy as fields of young grain. But those who would be
healed must absorb it not only into their bodies in daily food and
warmth but into their minds, because its spiritual power is more
intense. It is not reasonable to suppose that an essence so divine and
mysterious as life can be confined to material things; therefore, if our
bodies need to be in touch with it so do our minds. The joy of a spring
day revives a man's spirit, reacting healthily on the bone and the
blood, just as the wholesome juices of plants cleanse the body, reacting
on the mind. Let us join in the abundant sacrament--for our bodies the
crushed gold of harvest and ripe vine-clusters, for our souls the purple
fruit of evening with its innumerable seed of stars ". Vis Medicatrix
Naturae, by Mary Webb, in Spring of Joy: Nature Essays, Constable,
London, 1917 "
