Last week the Evening News told how Jimmy Peters' dreams of getting online were dashed when Mesh Computers went under.

But generous bosses at PC World are keen to help out Mr Peters, who works at Suds 'R' Us on Polwarth Gardens.

Launderette owner Michael Scobie, 44, said: "We're very grateful to PC World."
