....... I went to a BP station on Sunday and they have a till running
Win2000 and it was displaying a LOT of error boxes eg "driver not found" and
"cant load this" and another dialog box with nothing in it and a half displayed
button .... So I asked the guy behind the counter ..... and I am not able
to write down the words he used to explain the state of the machine ....
