Hi Fred,

Hope your lurgy goes quickly.

Couldn't agree more with Bob's comment, "modern world"

I was a systems hardware engineer back in the mid 60's and stayed in the IT industry all my working life.

It was the early 70's before many even knew what a computer was.

Many a time, in conversation, we would predict the future of automation; in hindsight we underestimated the effects more often than not.

Believe it or not, though Jan will confirm, until about 10 years ago, I wouldn't have the internet in the house. Eventually, you couldn't function without it.

Regards

Mike
