The Perkins has stood the test of time to now and will for how long who knows! Yes it could be a dangerous piece of equipment too, surely, in more ways than one! *G*! Let's start winding this thread down in the next day or so or George our"headmaster" esteemed Mod will be "cracking the leather" and we all know howsore that was in the past! *grimmace*Let's wind it down ourselves rather than to be instructed to do so like inour school days! Wonderful response and memories to the thread! Who knows we may do it all again when The Master George is not looking! *smile* Regards Tony----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 5:22 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Technology Now & Then for VipsVery heavy for young people to carry around too.

Who thought of our health and safety when we were carrying those great heavy machinesabout with us, having our shins battered with them.
