Ha, ha. Yeah ... maybe if we could convince John to start wearing a dickie bow tie (just like Steve). It would suit him, don't you think? You know, add a bit of gravitas. think

And is on the way out?


My spelling is not bad. I am typing this on a Medigenic keyboard and I blame that for all my typos.

And is this the future of electronics especially in the medical field?

It's an evolutionary process after all, hopefully heading generally in the right direction.

And the IBM PC was a major milestone along the way, for sure. smile

Should be scrapped has apparently become has been scrapped.

Not so much "Classic Computers" as "Classic Farce" (or, if you like, a criminal waste of money).

But, as always, "lessons shall be learned"! Yeah, right. frown

And another half billion wasted on shut regional fire control rooms.

From a very unhappy person who found out yesterday that he was redundant with immediate effect - I could do with just a small fraction of that money.

Yes ... and so it goes on. frown

Meanwhile, I hope you're not referring to yourself there, Robert.

But if you are ... perhaps it's time to consider setting up our Own Gang, Mate. Many people (well, a few, here and there) ask me about doing that, and whether there could be a "place in the team" for them. I always try to respond in positive vein, but very few that I meet are actually willing (able, whatever) to take things forward.

Just look (if you have the stomach for it) at the news again today. All Doom and Gloom, as usual. But when it all goes down the pan (as it looks increasingly like doing), there will still be a need for blokes who can actually do things (like fixing kit, for example) rather than just counting things (or whatever). As an Old Mate remarked only yesterday:- "Hold your nerve, and keep your powder dry"! smile

I'm truly sorry to hear that, Robert. Especially when I recall how happy you were when you escaped and "headed south"! frown

Perhaps we need to start another thread listing those of us Old Timers who are ready, willing, and able to carry on in some capacity or other.

I'll bung my own name at the top of the list!
