I wonder where Digit Al is up to these days?

He certainly did.

That must be on you tube somewhere :)

I think these days, I get more shocked by swearing on the radio than on TV.

Must admit, I saw this thinking "what the" before seeing what you was replying about lol

I had a Tiny PC in late 1998. It had a 8GB hard drive. I think it had 128MB of RAM Also came with printer and a seperate scanner. Can't remember the price now but it was over a £1000

My first Windows PC was a Tiny. Pretty sure after Time/Tiny became as one, they didn't last that much longer.

This is a very good website.
