We keep getting the TV people demanding we get a license at our office.
There's no aerial and it's not had a licence for at least 15 years.
But still they try!

Oh, he could pick up several satellites perfectly. Part of his farmyard resembled a set for "The Dish"!
I now have an Android tablet PC, which I'm slowly making sense of. I think it should be able to connect to my camera and work as a photo viewer.

I use a netbook for that on holiday.I now have an Android tablet PC, which I'm slowly making sense of. I think it should be able to connect to my camera and work as a photo viewer
It started out with 1gig of ram and a 120 gig hard drive, that's all they could sell if they wanted to use WinXP on them.
It now has 2gig ram and a 500 gig drive, a lot better for storing all those holiday shots.

I use my netbook too - but mainly as a storage device. I haven't bothered to load the RAW Codec onto it so I use Irfanview to look at the photos. I only throw out the truly duff ones, and don't do any work on them.
Mine came with Win7, and is just brilliant. I am using it right now.
On a more sober note can I just express my shock at the events in Norway and extend my sympathy to every one there.

Why do the employ so many incompetent people to write stuff on
websites
I want to record the rugby league quarter final (on BBC2)this afternoon off a SKY dish and I've had to click through all the BB2 icons for what's on before I to get to it. When I go the the page it tells me when it starts, but not when it ends (SKY do exactly the same) surely the start and end time are what most people want. I Know in this case I can add 135mins to 16:15, but it's not always that easy and there's a chance that I might make a mistake

The Norwegian shootings news is just getting worse, they're such a friendly nation how can this happen?

Have you googled the brand to see if there's a handbook available?

Oh well - doesn't look as if Grandson #1 will be going to Welbeck
Seems he got a letter this morning to say he was on the Reserve List . Can't see anyone refusing a place if it's offered , so the only realistic chance is if another candidate makes a real mess of their exams and cannot supply the required grades .

If you find the seam in the plastic case and give it a sharp smack with the plastic handle of a screwdriver, that often breaks the glue line enabling you to move to another place and do the same again. Usually after 3-4 smacks the case pops apart with no damage. Use plastic glue to reseal when you've changed the batteries. There is often a small inline fuse (looks like a resistor with no coloured bands). I would replace that at the same time.I find a big hammer and chisel usually does the job..
