Fruit Machine Chat

This is why Leisure Link always told landlords to leave Itbox machines on 24/7 - that and so that they could remotely monitor/automatically update. A PC should always be properly rebooted (not just turned off at the wall) at least once a week, any server techie will tell them that. :) If they want ...

So if they get turned off at the wall a lot, or get left on, then they'll gradually get slower due to things like page file fragmentation.

Isn't there a Casino Royale on those Juice things? I thought that was an AWP?

I think Jeraboam (spelling?) is another. Can't think what the R in that line is though.

Curious how most of them are bible names, yet one is named after a moustachioed American detective.

Sorry Harry, Civ77 was the first to actually name it! So I think it's his question...

And without resorting to a bit of the old ultraviolence, as well.

Okay, sticking with classic literature, what is described as the alcoholic equivalent to a mugging: expensive and bad for the head?
