SOMETHING that has always bothered me is people throwing away their old PCs, I see it all the time. Any time I can stop this happening I do, if a friend or relative is throwing away an old computer, I’ll take it off their hands and refurbish it, they make great servers! I have often got fast PCs to add to my server farm. This is a room I have with a group of PCs running as servers. All running together to power all of my websites, e-mail services, if you name it, there’s a PC in that room doing it.

But isn’t that really what they should be? Tool or services to help you connect online? If you take a walk down High Street on a busy afternoon you’re guaranteed to hear the word ‘Bebo’ echo through your ears on more than one occasion. “Bebo me later’, ‘I’ll Bebo you tonight’, ‘Are you on Bebo?’ It’s a word that you can’t miss, and like many things, you either hate it or love it.
