I still call it multimap.

I used to take a bike on trains
And that was hard to push, especially with all my stuff tied on. But twice I was really naughty.
I rode up a ramp into a BG and another time I rode along the underpass.
I made a lot of use of station lifts in those 2 years.
Another time line shut so had to get to next station by road, all my stuff on a bus, but not my bike, sat their thinking until the BR chap said to ride it and told me where next station was, and I beat the bus.
I was a bit annoyed as I had to buy a ticket for it anyway and I also had to use petrol.

Re: Pegasus Opera
And it was a bit flakey due to networking.
But I could open the files with a Clipper application no problem.
Clipper had the magic of replaceble database drivers, one was a client server engine. Went years with no data corruption.
We did once reindex a customers Pegasus Opera as otherwise it was use the backup, we used the client server engine to do it.

Hydrogen-powered train tested on Britain's railway tracks as diesel alternative
Thursday 1st October 2020 09:49 GMT
Re: What about producing the hydrogen?
60% so a bit better than Diesel (50%). What about energey taken to produce H2 vs. the refinery energy used?
Could be interesting.
What is also interesting is we cannot easily get new mid powered Diesel locos now, and have to rely on grandfather rights.

Re: I was going to look at a Samsung 50" TV - to buy one today, in fact.
My TV has 3 SCART, used for DVD player, pre HDMI games console and until it failed a SD Freeview PVR. (mainly RGB stuff)
HDMI for the 2 later consoles and my Humax Freesat PVR.
Component for my video camera.
You mean they fit less connectors now?
TV is about 10 years old and still works fine. Also same brand as the consoles.
Scre-EE-m if you wanna go faster: BT's mobile network reigns supreme in UK-wide speed and latency tests
Monday 28th September 2020 09:26 GMT
Re: What about?
It is.
I have a work phone, been on the same supplier since year dot*, and I remember it being Cellnet then O2.
I am also with BT for phone and broadband, not the cheapest but they do not moan about extreme usage.
They tried to sell me a mobile phone, I said I am already with them with O2, didn't they get confused.
"It used to say BT Cellnet so I am on BT."
But I did wonder where Orange went.
* Masts near our old office only worked properly with Cellnet and co.

Re: I'd be willing to consider this when I'm old
One thing you don't want better taste.
That leads to overload and not able to eat many foods or drink quite a few drinks.
Imagine being in a world where tonic water is disgusting, coffee is completely undrinkable, some wines are too, stout just no. Where all I can drink is tea, cider, water, and sweet wines.
But at I can eat white chocolate but not dark.
