Did I mention that I'm not very happy with Molten Media at the moment?
As they are trading retail they are subject to the customer guarantee act. Thus you can take the offending object back and demand a refund.
They donated some stuff to the toy libaray (a 486 running win 95A and 240MB hard drive. It was upgraded to win 95C and required a bigger hard drive - 540MB. They charge $120 (hundred twenty!) for the 540MB hard drive and took the smaller hard drive too. They sold the Avon Toy Library a no-name 1.2Ghz laptop, with no floppy drive for backups, for $2600! They couldn't network the two properly together, and ended up using the Xircom 10Mbit ethernet card in the laptop (it "wouldn't work" with the built-in 100Mbit Lan) All this happend a few months ago. They finally got it working, but then it broke somewhow a few weeks ago.
Last night I went to the toy library and fixed it all. Got it working with the laptop in-built LAN, and got the toy library software (what a piece of &*!@ that is) going correctly. Just before I went home, the keyboard on the desktop died. Lucky I had a spare in the car. By the way, the toy library software states a minimum spec of P2 233. The Avon Toy Library is running it on a 486. If anybody would like to donate a p2 233 class machine I'm sure the Avon Toy Library would be most grateful.
I have a copy of it for you to burn on the night.
Thanks,
