I've been trying to buy a 256MB USB MP3 player (was that a lot of acronyms?) on eBay and I'm GUTTED I missed out on this one! (only by 29 minutes!)
I have a goal to buy one for less than £48 !!! :o) (I still have to pay P&P on top of that = £7.50ish)
Update:
ARGH!
A place for John to record his techy notes, both to refer back to when needed, and as a help for others...

A CSS table which stays in the right place, but it's hardwired, which isn't very nice :o( http://www.gwyncole.com/blogfiles/gwync/MyCSSTable.htm
Hmmm... I wish you could do with CSS what you can do with tables!!! somewhere, a LONG time ago (like 3+years) I read that the <TABLE> tag was invented for displaying data in a tabular form, not for page layout... well... I'm sorry to say, that while CSS was invented for formatting and page layout etc, it doesn't (yet) do as good a job as things like "I want a box at the bottom of my page, split into three equal boxes which will re-size with the page, and a box on top of that the width of the page... and I want it all to still work the same way in different browsers and I don't want to have to hard-wire specify the size in pixels - so that it will work the same on a smaller or larger screen too..." fixed dimensions for page layout suck - unless you are fixing something like an image along the side of the screen... i.e. It's probably ok to have an image in the top left corner, and something else immediately to the right of it (or below it) and want that to sit hard against it.
It sucks having to have a gazillion nested tables on a page, all that extra overhead of source, and hard to keep track of while working in a text editor... but CSS isn't up to the job yet. Oh, and I LOVE finding pages on the web preaching that you shouldn't use tables for page layout... and then you look at the source of the page and they're... using tables for page layout!
