Looks like the kind of place where I could feel right at home!  And not far from Hadrian's Wall as well, I notice. All part of the defences, I presume? I had no idea the Romans were so advanced!

Oh well, I guess it's too late to change it now! What was that we said before about "there's nothing so permanent as a temporary solution that works"!

Better not let this one pass without comment!

Meanwhile, I know the whereabouts of what can only be described as a "van load" of BBC Micro stuff (twenty BBC Micro's, five Masters, an "Oak" special BBC Micro, an Acorn Risc PC 700 with 486 board, four dot-matrix printers, monitors, boxes of ROM's, floppy discs, 15 or more disk drives of various type and configuration, boxes of cables and leads, EPROM programmer, books, magazines, ... etc., etc.). The asking price is £ 1,500 for the job-lot, on an all or nothing basis (the stuff is worth in excess of twice that amount, I would say) and you would need to arrange collection. Anyone interested in such a bargain of classic memorabilia (certainly something with which to while away the long winter evenings, at least) could do far worse than get in touch by PM.

Here's an interesting link. Lots of good stuff there. Enjoy! ... like this little lot, for example! GeoCities ... gone, but not forgotten. And yet another example of what usually happens (as if such a reminder is actually needed) when something small, but good, is swallowed up by one of the Big Boys! Anyone care to give a few more examples (there should be enough to fill a few pages, right there)? How about eBay, for starters?  Remember Netscape? Anyone who expects the current situation to remain as the status quo "for ever" might like to keep an eye on this site. Just imagine what our world would be like without this forum*. Heaven Forbid! * Has Tesco been in touch yet, Huw?

Here's a treat for those who (like me) may have missed it first time around. Enjoy!

Following on from the post above ... if anyone has doubts (as I did) whether Hermann actually cut the wire (as depicted in the film) - then take a look at this piece. But what about those "Genius Guys"? Especially, Furber, Wilson, Westwood (and, of course, Clive). Almost unbelievable!

Here's something else of interest! I don't suppose anyone has a MK14 they no longer need? More homebuilt!
