Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

A productive visit to Marks and Spencers. £2 pair of jeans (reduced from £30) and £5 cotton shirt (reduced from £25). Almost giving stuff away atm, must be desperate times for them; the pensioners were fighting in the aisles over cheap cardigans ;)

Bottle of Highland Park Viking Honour 12YO Single Malt, and 3 bottles of Red (Shiraz, Burgundy, and Pinot Noir).

My two brothers-in-law are arriving this afternoon (one from Connecticut and one from Hampshire), so want to be well prepared for after dinner drinks.

A PATA (IDE) to dual SATA adapter board. The PCI card that I tried doesn't do DMA* whereas this arrangement will. That's vital to be able to play large (>10 GByte) HD video files without stuttering using the media server.

Now works a treat. :)
