Re: To be fair back in the day there were "full digital" CD's and AAD CD's

Back in the dim and distant past when I first bought a CD player there were a couple of Cds where you could hear the stylus drop onto the record so I suppose they could be called analog CDs.

Re: Short, shameful confession

Used punched tape at school in the late 70s and of course my parents business in the Middle East had a TELEX machine that used punched tape.

Re: What do we expect?

My late Father bought (had built) a 5 bedroom house in 1960/1961. he was working at CEGB at the time. If he was that age now and doing a similar job there is no way he could afford it. 4 kids and a SAH wife till I was old enough to go to school then she worked as a part time dinner/playground supervisor. Times are a lot different and not for the better.

Re: Cow boxes

Somewhere in the loft I have an old catalogue that had a 386 with 4Mb ram for £800

An extra 4MB was to bring it up to 8MB was almost as much as the system itself.

Re: Funny that

Even better, change the keyboard layout to Azerbaijan, and watch them lock themselves out of their account. Good for people who lock multi user machines so no-one else can use them.

So glad I have a Windows phone, as you say I very much doubt there will be a version of this spyware for it.

Re: Stupid millennials

It remind sme of this joke:

he European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Re: Pineapple good. Pepperoni bad.

Once, In North Shields I had a donner kebab topped pizza, It was . . . interesting,

I usually do my shopping twice a month, but because of lemming panic buyers causing rationing of items to 3 I now have to do my shopping 3 times per week in order to get the things I usually bulk buy (to last me 2 weeks plus a couple extra in case I just need a snack rather than a full meal. I have COPD so this has greatly increased the risk to me.
