I've stuck with Amazon for my 1xPro & 2xHP. Ebuyer is slightly cheaper but I just prefer Amazon plus they won't bill me until October, not that that matters much.

eBuyer aren't billing now, just for payment methods such as google checkout and paypal.

Credit/Debit is payment in October as far as I can tell.

Yes, this has been confirmed now. eBuyer won't be billing until they're in a position to ship product.

excellent. Now do I get a copy of pro as well. Hmmmm £90 for two or £170 for 3 agghhhh what to do.
Or maybe just another copy of HP.

Mark · 15-07-2009, 15:53

I assume you're talking £90 for two HP there, right.

Just the one ordered for me, off Amazon on the credit card so I'll pay December

Hope it's still possible to install IE8... work mail/citrix and a few random car hire companies still don't like FF.

Glaucus · 15-07-2009, 18:36

yeah it's free to install ie8 you just have to download it and save to a disk before installing.

Mark · 15-07-2009, 18:41

Saving to a USB pen drive would avoid wasting a disk.

Ever tried the IETab plug-in for Firefox?

Excellent, I'm still going to put aside an entire weekend as I predict a few problems with drivers and the like. And for some reason (possibly that Samsung apparently doesn't like them) my RAID is the most irritating thing to setup, works a treat once it's lasted a few hours but tends to take about 3 windows installs normally. And about 3 low level formats last time to get it lasting more than a week.

I have a USB thing and a couple of portable drives so will try to find major things before I wipe everything. Still it's sods law I'll forget but the housemate does have an ancient machine held together by my spare parts and wireless dongle so should be fine
