The Sports Desk / US Open 2021
Not sure how many here are interested, but Novak is 2 wins away from the first men's calendar Slam since 1969, and from a record breaking 21st men's Grand Slam title.

Wow.

Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / Bigger avatars
A minor request, but is it possible to have bigger avatars ? I'm pretty sure the ones on the old site were larger, and the current ones are somewhat mingy IMO.

Thanks.

Blah-Blah Bar / PC Laptop price
Hi everyone. I've been a Mac guy my whole adult life, so I know nothing about PC's. My wife is finishing up at her work, and has asked the company if she can keep (i.e purchase) her work laptop. The company has said they will sell it to her for $400. Specs as follows :

HP EliteBook 840 G6
14 inch / 15 inch display (not sure which)
8GB RAM
Core i5 1.6Ghz processor
Win 10 Pro
500GB HD

My wife will need to buy her own copy of Microsoft Office, which of course will add to the cost. Her use is basically Office, basic internet, checking emails etc. No gaming, 3D or any other intensive tasks.

Just wondering if folks think the $400 is a fair price ?

Thanks in advance.

The Sports Desk / RIP Diego Maradona
No lovers of the "world game" ?

The headline says it all : "Touched by God on the field, touched by the Devil off it."

And apparently a supporter of Castro and Chavez - that must count for something, surely ?  :D

Thanks for the many wonderful moments, and rest in peace.
