Item on the news last night

Cant remember if it was ITV or BBC, however.

They were doing a piece about the economy going into recession and talking to some bloke who had been made redundant.

This bloke is sat at his computer desk which has a monitor and printer etc there saying 'I spend all day applying for jobs and writing spec letters on the computer behind me'

Underneath the monitor was his computer, well, rather an XBOX360

Dont know why but had me in fits of giggles

Wasn't one of the old Dell Optiplex GXs was it? they look remarkably like 360 Elites.

Who said they weren't It's the fact that they had the monitor displaying XP taskbar and also MS Word document open on the screen. and this is the monitor which is perched on top of the 360 that made me giggle.
