Hi Phil To be honest, these events are as much of a social occasion for me as they are useful for what you learn from the technology. Looks like I'll have to set the alarm for the middle of the night then. (groan.) Actually we really enjoy travelling by train. If Ian gets a good enough signal, he plays with GPS while I tend to listen to music and sleep anyway. Hope to see some of you there if we can get cheap day returns ... now that's another laugh. How is it National Rail will always tell you there are lots to be had, except when you book in advance, they tell us at our station there aren't any left. Never fails!!

Perhaps I should do some googling of my own for similar events in my area or perhaps I'll just wait until the summer for the joys of Sight Village having not been able to make it for the past year or three. Anyway enjoy the day if you do end up going.

Who, in addition to Computer Room Services, will be exhibiting or demonstrating there does anyone know? We kind of fancied a jaunt down to London, and wondered who is going to be attending. My son and I will need to be on our best behaviour there though as, last time we went, we found these battery-powered pepper and salt holders. Well ... let's just say that when we tried them out, there was real pepper in one of them and it went everywhere! (chuckle.)
