I have asked Piers if he has a PC that Hutch can borrow, and he does. He is willing to lend you a laptop with the following specification:

2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 17" Widescreen, Nvidia 7900GS, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 200 GB HDD

He is also fine with you installing any games you want on the machine, supposedly you would need to remove them before you give the laptop back. Thanks very much to Piers for this generous offer, and I hope Hutch will now stop complaining and just come to i31 .
