Apparently there is one near me.... Can we have a show of hands and I'll
try
to get over there.

Do we know when they will be in the shops????

Hi!

I don't have a Poundland near me :( (well actually I lie... their
distribution centre is around the corner but not a shop!!!).  Anyone
fancy getting some on my behalf?  Been looking at their website and
theres a neat utility that allows wireless internet access from 1
dedicated cybiko connected to a PC via USB... looks VERYU
interesting!

Just want some now.... (trying to hold back the tears!)

Cheers,

Matt
