Dismissing one comment with the ever-tiresome:
But a correlation it remains no matter how strong.
...and then writing:
. It's all very well do away with corporal punishment but if what we get is the current increase in violence
Stop and thing before you hit post next time. You can at least contradict yourself in different postings, not the same one. Unless you were aiming for Yes, Prime Minister irregular verbs for comedy value.

Both you and I are up ourselves, sneering, Wellingtonians.
Don't forget the chips on our shoulders.

and avoids the perception of up-themselves Jaffas sneering at the provincial hicks?
Why hold themselves to a higher standard than PA's commentariat?

Mac prices were, for a long time, a special rort. When I worked for a Mac reseller the guy who had an exclusive license to import Apple kit also owned a shipping line, overland freight company, and so on. The reason Macs were so ridiculous was because hjis Apple importing company used his other companies, allowing him to inflate the price while saying to Apple "Oh, no, look, our margins are very reasonable!"

So if the dollar is at 0.8 US, why do Playstation 3s cost $1200, when then 60GB model costs US$500?
No doubt retailers will jack prices up on everything the moment the dollar even looks like falling...

had 3.5" diskettes that were physically, as well as logically incompatible with the 3.5" format everyone else used
THey were incompatible because they were actually 3" drives (assuming you mean the Amstrad CPC, rather than a later Amstrad PC).
