:>A quick 3-parter:-
:>
:>1) My first posting here, so "Hello All"
:>
:>2) Interested to see if there's anyone else in Longford on this list, so
:>"Hands up please"

*puts hand up*

:>3) For anyone who put their hand up for part 2), where do you go to buy
:>new/2nd-hand kit in this County?

Not in Longford anyways ;)

There's some there (not in Longford, I would advise going there for your
computer stuff..)
I went to secondary school in Longford, but I've just finished my first year
in DCU, so I don't have to suffer anymore thank God. There are some places
around, there's a computer place in town, down Great Water Street, and another
place just after opening up on Main St. just beside Abrekebabra AFAIK.
There's the original "Longford Computer Systems", which is a load of bugger,
just off the New Street, beside a pub who's name I can't remember offhand, the
something Inn.
There's a guy who's associated with Longford Slashers living up in
Abbeycartron who has dealings with some computer firm in Athlone as well.
TBH, going through third parties isn't my thing, but well

I usually made a trip to Dublin on a Saturday anyways.. I've never bought off
any of these places, so I can't account for their reputability, although, one
of my friends is working in one of them.
