I have, I just need to sort out the right video software to get it running properly. The super cool desktop cube makes it all worthwhile!

I had to add the fun wall because my daughter wanted to draw me a picture.

Someone sent me a rather rude picture, which isn't good when you've got a 7 year old wanting to draw on there

Oh, it's just a matter of downloading the correct ones from the open source repositories, but It will probably take an hour or so, which I just haven't had to spare these last few weeks.

Yeah, it's pretty rubbish. Your user name should be your real name, and you log in using your registration Email.
