Hello I am an extreme technophobe and have a 2003 Dell Dimension 8300 PC - i would like to upgrade its RAM.

My daughter cam home from school recently with some coloured things called waterbabies - I hear they are all the rage at most of the international schools - can anyone tell me what they are made of and if they are dangerous?

Hi
I would like to get some white wooden furniture made for my girls' rooms - not a lot, but a desk, a set of drawers and a bunk bed. I have not been able to find any white wooden bunk beds here and so think we need to get them made. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Many thanks
