Steve, It just means you're in touch with your feminine side. I try to get in touch with my wife's feminine side, but this normally gets me a slap. Best wishes.

I absolutely agree with you about the Maplin telephone staff - top notch advice and nothing appears to be too much trouble. Best wishes.

I must say, I've never used Maplins's web site, always either purchased from their shops or buy phone. I always found the staff to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable on all kinds of electronics. I needed a Swann attachment for my microphone stand so I could tilt my Shure SH55 Classic 1950's microphone in the same way that Jerry Lee Lewis use too. The music shops didn't have a clue as what I was asking for, however, the guys at Maplins knew straight away plus, I expected the Swann attachment to be around £15 and in fact it was only somewhere around £3. It was these same guys that sorted out the solution regarding the noise I was getting from the lap top by suggesting trying a Ground Loop Isolator. I'm pleased you pointed out the problem with the web site, as I won't be tempted to use it now. Hope the Rush project is going well.
