 The future of `computing` or rather, web access? - Dave_
>> You've already got a computer though!

It's not a very good one though, (bitsa 1.83GHz, XP, 768MB RAM, 120GB) and when my year's phone/broadband contract is up in May I'll probably not renew it. The Home Access forms don't ask whether you're already online, just whether you're entitled to the relevant benefits.

I've paid in to the tax system for 20 years, I'm taking everything I can out of it for a year while I sort my stuff out, then I'll be paying in to it for another 30 years I reckon.

>> Maybe put them in a new case and call them DSS Computers

On Jeremy Vine last week the question was raised of whether Home Access had put sufficient safeguards in place to ensure the computers were going to the right people, after several had been spotted on eBay and in Cash Converters! The Minister's response was along the lines of "The recipients signed a form to declare they wouldn't do that"...
