    Writing number correct to 2 decimal places

    A question states, "write 12.826 correct to 2 decimal places." Should this be written as 12.82 or 12.83 ? The second answer rounds up because of the number 6, though the question does not state to "round up/down" just to "write correct". So I was just wondering... Thanks :)

    Can no longer save to memory stick

    I have a memory stick, about one year old, which has been in the back of the PC all the time so not being moved around and damaged. I've noticed that I can no longer save to the stick, although I can still open and use saved documents from the stick. When I try to save it states "The directory...

    Windows Vista Basic or Windows XP Home

    Wasn't looking for someone to "predict the future". :rolleyes: I kept my last computer that long, so I believe it to be a reasonable estimate.

    Windows Vista Basic or Windows XP Home

    and although XP is currently faster than Vista, if I was going to keep the PC for four or five years, would the consensus be that I should still opt for XP rather than Vista? Since presumably in a year or so Vista will be as quick as XP and I'll be able to download the updates which may iron...

    Windows Vista Basic or Windows XP Home

    Windows Vista Home Premium has Media Centre which regular XP doesn't have (there is a special XP edition with it); any thoughts on whether it might be worth having Vista Home Premium, instead of XP Home in order to get Media Centre? Anyone here tried the Media Centre software on Vista Home Premium?

    Dell C521 Desktop & 19" LCD - €361 (or maybe even €312!)

    I'll probably just wait a couple of weeks until they have another offer on. I was deselecting the mouse and other items not required, but it's a lot dearer than yesterday.

    Advantages/disadvantages of a 19" widescreen monitor

    If purchasing a Dell desktop system two of the options concerning the monitor are to have either a standard 19" TFT monitor, or a 19" widescreen TFT monitor. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a 19" widescreen over a standard 19" monitor? Which would you opt for? Is the widescreen...

    Dell C521 Desktop & 19" LCD - €361 (or maybe even €312!)

    How often do Dell run these low price offers, are they likely to have another deal at these prices next month? They still have the D07C12 but it's now a lot higher in price compared to yesterday, when including the 19" widescreen monitor.

    Windows Vista Basic or Windows XP Home

    Ah, yes I see what you mean. The reason I was confused there was because I went to this ZoneAlarm page to download the update. http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/updates/znalm/zaAEN1023.html You'll see slightly down the page there is a button marked Windows 2000/XP. I clicked on this button...

    Can I use ethernet and USB broadband at same time?

    Although the ethernet cable could be quite long, is it true that the USB cable could only be a maximum of 5 metres otherwise the signal could become affected if much longer?
