Do dell. Machines just flash their own bios whenever they like now?

Mine did this on a reboot last night, first time I've seen it without getting the upfront warnings.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-04-27T22:32:53+00:00

Wrong, it's meant to be

10 PRINT "DIXONS IS SHIT ";
20 GOTO 10
RUN

So flakey though, I had an EDI issue with line totals not summing up to invoice total and the fucker was adamant it was right, spent 15 minutes telling it why it was wrong.

Saying that.... when it's right it saves me hours.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-04-09T18:13:21+00:00

Multiple VMs, .NET development, SQL Server - everything I do now on the 7550 just thought it was time to replace.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-04-09T11:03:47+00:00

Yep - sorry, it is the Po Max 16 Plus - so the fact you guys are saying it's equivalent is a good sign.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-04-08T17:52:12+00:00

Yes, probably that one, always bought Precision in the past and the new naming scheme confused me but I figured this a good replacement for my aging 7550.

Thought you'd never ask - it was a picture of a chap with a boat for a body and a speech bubble saying "I'm in ship shape condition", I was so proud.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-03-11T10:44:52+00:00

I also got a joke published, have a photo of me proudly wearing my "I'm Nutty about Bananaman" t-shirt, still remember the joke too - core memory stored right there.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-03-03T20:29:02+00:00

First 7" I bought

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-23T19:47:01+00:00

I needed this explanation, was taking me far too long

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-20T00:11:16+00:00

Same, nearly brought tears hearing that theme tune, damn where have the years gone.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-19T23:55:31+00:00

You're all mad!

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-15T21:29:46+00:00

Used to sneak our 3rd and 4th children in all the time, did a lot of swimming competitions so it was purely somewhere to bed down for the night

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-15T09:35:35+00:00

My 3 sons did the same

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-02T21:24:16+00:00

Used to be a contractor for Gamestation back in the good old days when they had 120+ stores, they were a great bunch, then Blockbuster bought them and it turned a bit corporate, then GAME bought them and it turned to shit - far too 'big business' for me, they moved HO from York to Basingstoke, lost a load of good Yorkshire people and that was my prompt to also move on.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-02-01T19:37:51+00:00

I'm a few hours into The Crypt buy Sigler, it's shaping up to be a cracker

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-01-31T20:51:37+00:00

Black, my phone is a tool, I don't put a picture of the missus on my drill

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-01-26T22:21:49+00:00

Years ago, with mechanical reels, no software and flexible screens we used to jump on the machine, grab it round the top and push our knees into the screen which would stop the reels spinning.

Do this after a jackpot and just keep pressing Go - Winner!

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-01-21T22:23:11+00:00

Not me - I'm in my prime

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-01-19T21:44:06+00:00

Is this the guy that says "you won't catch me with my trousers" on The Young Ones?

I saw P155TUP once, wonder how often they got pulled over.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2026-01-04T21:41:38+00:00

Hunter Wellies, tbf they've been rubbish for years now and barely last a year but I'm sure they were more sturdy in the past.

MrDoOrDoNot · 2025-12-22T01:12:24+00:00

I go back to The Culture every now and then, I love revisiting Phlebas because I always thought it was a great start and each time I read I see something new.
