I spotted it straight away!!.. The hex-shaped thingumabob has light relecting off it strongly on the RHS, despite the fact that it seems to be facing away from the only light source - the stained-glass window. Since there is no other point of reference for any other light source, that has to be it, IMO!

Chris - your website says the Open Day is on SATURDAY 18th March... Wanna buy a calendar??

BTW: Is the Open Day up in Watford (or Walford, as one of our Hong Kong customers calls it!!)??

Beakynet - Dixons are over-priced anyway! They may well deduct customs duty off the cost, but it's down to the buyer to reclaim the 20% VAT.

John, all you need is an old HDD (internal), and insert it in a firewire-enabled enclosure. Take a wander to your nearest PC World store (or better still - a specialist comp shop) to see if you can find what you're after.

I use a WD pocket drive between home and office. It's USB 2.0 though. My only wish is to get a USB 3.0 to hook up to my 3.0 port to see what the read/write speed is like!!

John - have a look at:

www.misco.co.uk and/or www.microdirect.co.uk

I usually get my hardware from these guys.

With Li-Ion batteries, they should occasionally be fully discharged. In extreme cases, these types of battery if not treated with care, can spontaneously combust!

Part of the reason why laptops and the likes need special handling prior to being placed on aircraft, in order to comply with IATA/ICAO regulations.

Jeez-oh!! Can you even begin to imagine the image quality of that 120Mp sensor?? You could count the individual pubic hairs on a fruit fly without having to shoot in macro mode!!

Having had time to think about this, I seem to recall reading somewhere of a digital camera (pro model, of course!) with a 42Mp sensor, but my recollection is that it was actually comprised of a 14Mp blue-sensitive, a 14Mp red-sensitive, and a 14Mp green-sensitive sandwiched together somehow to make up the 42Mp sensor. If this sensor is just one sensor that copes with RGB as a single entity, I don't think it will be as good as the R/G/B sensor, as there is possibly no real control over the individual colour spectrum. By this, I mean that the Nokia sensor can have, say, the red spectrum tweaked but at the cost of sacrificing the colour rendition of the blue and green spectrums, whereas (my interpretation of the original 42Mp sensor) such an adjustment can be made to the red end of the colour spectrum, but leaving the blue and green untouched, facilitating much more user control...

Or, am I just havering??
