Because I got it cheap and it's great otherwise. Were the darn you think I'd keep my PC & stereos if not on the table?

Those pre-constructed so called PC-desks are crap anyway

I've had 2, 1 was made of that pressed togetherwood (you can only assemble it once if you disassemble it your screwed) that started to fall apart all over the place. the other one was pretty decent and everything was reachable..but the biggest flaw it was made out of METAL.
so when I had sweaty hands or something moisture on it IE cold beer can I GOT PUNISHED BY SHOCKS when I wanted to drink my beer

so tossed it all away...went to IKEA got a good size wooden plank, and 3 table legs front 2 legs and 1 in the back middle position.
Cheap and the best thing I've had yet for my PC.

You'll have to put some B17 screenies up Dowly, I've always been intrigued by the game and would like to see some more

Well, almost after 2 months, I FINALLY got arsed to get my old joystick from my mom's place (I got new table, and it's done by some darn twat. So, now my tower has to be on the other end of it, making my joysticks & headset's cords too short to reach all the way there. )

What about a couple of usb extension cables? if its the usb cables that are short:hmm:

The greatest moment of the German luftwaffe - from the longest day movie

Including one of my favourite bits with old Sean

"HunterICX leading Oberon on a strafing run against Allied landing beaches"

So, here was I, the other day reading through a book I got in Leiston for 25p:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hardest-Day-.../dp/0304350818

In this book it details the Luftwaffle high/low raid on Kenley, now picture the scene. Last night I boot up BOBII for a relaxing raid battle, pick a mission at random and set off in my Hurri.
Got a raid contact from control and vectored in for it, couldn't see anything but Blue 1 called out bandits at two o clock, opened the canopy and had a squint in that direction and saw a gaggle of bombers, so we dived in, I got a Dornier and I saw at least three others go down. As I overshot my kill and turned away, I saw more bombs raining down on the airfield the Dorniers had just bombed, I thought to myself 'Where the devil are they coming from?' and looked up to see a large formation overhead at some altitude. At this point I thought to myself, this is a bit odd, this is just like the raid I was reading about just the other day, so I made a note of the airfield they were raiding.
Kenley.

What are the chances of that? Accidentally flying the mission you read about just the other day?

Oberon · 11-16-08, 06:31 PM

More tales from the cockpit:

Flying a patrol over Ventnor CH, my patrol vector on the map was in the region of 290-280. I call up the tower and ask for my vector, it's 217. So I follow 217 for a bit, and I'm told the distance is 200-150 miles. So I open up the map again and take a look, the only thing 200-150 miles from me at bearing 217 is the bloody coast of France!!

German spies get everywhere...
