Hmmm I guess that means my beta copy will stop working soon.

Back to Silkypix then.

I prefer to just sit back and enjoy the good stuff. Tellig them they are wrong is generally like banging your head against the wall - stop doing and it stops hurting.

Just a thought HG - why don't they make toilets so that if the water level in the cistern goes too high, the toilet flushes?

As things stand, the overflow will cope with a leak, but not a full open failure.

I think the autofocus times out if it has not locked on within a certain time.

Does your focus ring feel gritty?

...and OF COURSE the stuff you get from Lidl is just as good as Waitrose or M&S or maybe even better.

To clarify Drive Scrubber is a privacy utility in as much as it wipes specified data off the disc in such a way as to make it irretrievable.

The EU is why. Stopping European wars is what it was designed to do, and it has succeeded wonderfully.

Something the anti-EU brigade conveniently forget.

Good to see we have left ourselves some latitude of action.

My personal anti Europe feeling came about more or less when I started going to Ireland about fifteen years ago. At the time the roads were in a shocking state, but everywhere I looked they were being rebuilt and there were signs saying "75% paid for by the EEC". I have never seen a sign like that in England.

I also used to work for a large french company (not my fault, they bought us out) We were required to work 10 hours a day, but when it came to paying us, they pretended that we only worked 7.5 in accordance with their rules. One of their managers in france actually fetched up in court for even asking if any of his staff would work overtime. They also sent around a memo one year saying we would not be allowed to observe the 2 minutes silence.

I guess there are some trading advantages - I hope someone would have pulled us out by now if not.

What I really resent is when they expect us to abide by their rules in preference to ours, especially when often they do not do themselves.

Long may we remain a separate entity from the united states of Europe.

Can't do that Stefan - that was what the Euro was all about. One of the few things we got right.
