        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Jeff Minter - mad as a box of frogs. I met him during my Ocean Software days.

                Hmmm, very nearly ended up with an Oric 1 and Modem when I was a kid. Until I got fed up waiting for delivery and delay tactics.

                  I had an Oric-1 and an Oric Atmos. I think we went into a shop and paid money and the man gave us a box with a computer in it. Radical I know.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    You are correct Bunk, thank goodness I'm not a real geek.
