I still have a Creed 444 teleprinter here that is operational (aka Post office type 15) although there aren't too many people to talk to these days!

Can't help you there, I'm afraid, Ed. The last time I sent a telex would have been from Nigeria in 1984. frown

But (and on the other hand), people tell me that telex is still used in certain types of secure (maritime, financial, maybe) international communications. As you know, you actually get an acknowledgement that your message has been received.

Meanwhile ... why bin a successful OS? Gawd knows they are rare enough. It looks like 08-Apr-14 is the date that XP is to be "retired". frown

Some people may never upgrade for the simple reason that their Windows XP PC is their last PC.


There may be something in that. think

Meanwhile, I'm sticking with Win 2000. It's the only MS OS I've used that has never crashed! smile

One Man's Creed. We believe ...

How's this for a bunch of clones! boggle

Someone once told me that the Russians still used Speccy clones to run their nuclear power stations (or whatever), but I had no idea there were so many!

Maybe they just got fed up with mail order stuff that never arrived, out-of-box failures, or some such thing. frown

Here's what the Wiki has to say.

Seiko ... the people who brought you the RC-1000. Those were the days! smile

Obviously lacking in imagination, then. Anyway, here's the video. The T-1900-S was a good (sturdy) laptop, as well.

Watch this space for more interesting kit from Seiko - the Golden Years (or should that be Fun Years?). smile

Lack of PM? think

An invasion by dry-rot, apparently. frown

There's a definite autumnal nip in the air this evening (here in my part of the UK, at least) ... so with those long winter evenings just around the corner (and if you have a reasonable internet connection), why not plan to take a look at some of this good stuff? think
