George,I understand that you give great service but I should clarify that the "chips" in question were of course of the eatable variety I trust!
I wonder of the status of Computer chips at the time of Ureka!We learn so much on this list between us all and the sense of humour is a tonic too!
Not surprised that this list is amongst the tops!Knoww that people there were eating fish and chips and then icecream, so did you sell those too or were they part of the sale?
Could persuade perhaps my long suffering First wife )as Terry Wogan might say) to accompany me on a trip over there!

Don't joke about it, Tony. Many's the time we've had customers visiting us to get equipment repaired while they wait. And while they wait, many's the time they've tucked in to fish and chips. And heaven help us if the ice cream man's chimes go off before the repair is complete!

Sorry, silly season! *smile* Tony----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 8:26 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Technology Now & Then for VipsHi Tony No, not a Stainsby, but a metal, good quality Dymo gun. I've had itforyears. I think the Dymo machines you buy nowadays are plastic andmuchlighter, but I am still very much attached to the one I bought from George at Techno-Vision Systems a long time ago!

I've had this particular watch since Christmas 1995, and I still love it to bits. I once left it in the pocket of my skirt, and it ended up in the washing-machine, but it miraculously survived! I've got a couple of spare Braille watchesasthey seem to be on the demise, but they rule in my book. I can'tabidetalking watches! (smile). And my metal Dymo gun I bought from George years ago is still apersonalfavourite as well for labelling CDs, folders in my filing cabinet...Iwouldn't be without it either! Some of the oldest gadgets stillremainthe simplest and best to use!

I use dymo tape with a one line metal braille writing guide tobraillelabels for CDs CD roms etc. I have been through a fair few watches/clocks in my time but one Istillhave is a manual "braille" clock going back! The only thing about it nowadays is say you want it to "go off" atseventhen you will have to set it for 3.30! *smile* Don't laugh too loudly though, it still serves it's purpose wellwhenI need to fall back on it, believe me! It's still "alive and kickin" when all the others have long stopp a-tickin!

I know there's the dymo gun, but I like to use allthecontractions available to me and of course the dymo gun doesn'thavethemall. I did try with the dymo tape and adaptor but the tape used tofallthrough no matter how tight I pulled it, so dots didn't come outverywellfor me. I use the sticky back plastic sheets and get someone tocutthelines out for me then I cut the labels. I write as many words as Icanoneach line. that may be a few album titles or just 1. I still have my old tandy talking clock. It's 25 years old or soandIguess if I put batteries in it should still work. I don't thoughasittakes 3. quaint and dated though it may sound, I love it. I usedtohavethe sharp talking calculator, the 1 with the alarm and timer andallthaton it. would love to have 1 of those again, plus the Sharptalkingclockand the Vox talking watch, though I bet there's few of those left.Theywere so fragile.
