Got a survey through the post from Which, a consumer mgazine and I actually filled it in.

It asked whether I had various electrical appliances and whether I had had any problems with them. If so then it gave you a list of possible problems for you to choose from. The appliances were widescreen TV’s, DVD players/recorders, cable and satellite boxes, MP3 players, MP4 players, mobile phones, DAB radios, digital still and movie cameras and a whole load of similar stuff but no PC’s. Depressingly I had had problems with most of the appliances, though most were not terminal, and their list of possible problems always included the issue I’d had. All of these appliances were digital and it seems that Which might be about to put the boot into digital electronics. Not a moment too soon either.

One of my favorite Vista messages I get when an application fails and Vista pops up with ‘Windows is checking for a solution to the problem’ and it never has.

I’ve been playing Wii tennis since Christamas and it’s OK though when your experience level gets above 1700 some inconsistencies do appear from time to time. Today I was at experience level 2000, and it was a hard work getting there. I played a best of 3 games match and won and got 4 additoinal experience points. The next match I lost and lost 60 experience points. My third match I won but lost 20 points. All matches were close and were 2 games to 1 to the winner. Sounds buggy to me….
