Another recommend, and yet another company outside of the Uk, a theme seems to developing here! 😉
I needed a replacement Dvd setup disk for one of there Hp Nas 1500s servers, and went to there site and it was not avaible as a download, but you could order it from the USA as a free order.
So filled out the online order and 5 days later the dvd was sent to me via DHL!
Again, I am really impressed, with not only the speed of the service, but also big thanks to those at HP Support.
Well done and many thanks!
Now a service I would not recommend!!!, and this goes to Pc Buyers in the UK.

After placing a order 2 months ago, and they never sent it and ignored all my many emails.
Steer clear of this one rip off company.
Have reported this to the credit card company and hopefully others have done the same and get this bunch of cowboys
blacklisted.
Have to put out a plug for a great service, and this goes to Jean Paul Gaultier!
I placed a order on a thursday on his site in France and the goods arrived the next day by courier!
Well packed and a stunning service!
Highly recommended service!
Nice one Jean Paul 🙂
Came across a old laptop of mine that although very old these days is okay for taking around with me, so decided to see if it still worked and battery was okay.
It all was, so put in a newer hard disk and installed windows xp on it.
It was the Toshiba 2535cds that I bought back in 1999 when I was over in the states, and came back then with windows 98 and a 4 gig hard disk and a pentium 300mhz cpu and 32 meg ram! LOL
Been upgraded to a more useable state now of course.
Anyway, XP installed okay and after doing a million updates as normal, it did not find a driver for the graphics card in it, a Chips & Technologies CT6900 with 2 meg of ram.. lol
Went to the excellent Toshiba support and downloads section, and they did not have any graphics drivers for xp or win 2000 for this old model.
(Hats off to Toshiba, they really have the best support site I have used!, Darn good reason to buy Toshiba laptops I think myself)
After searching for hours, I managed to find a xp driver that installed and works fine and I am linking to this in case anyone else out there needs this hard to find w2k/xp driver.
The site is located at :-
http://drivers.microbit.ru/index.phtml
Its a russian website and the file you want is :- sp15114.exe
Its seems to be a driver for the Compaq Armada 4210, 4220, and works fine on this Toshiba laptop.
A big thanks to drivers.microbit.ru !! 🙂
