I would suggest that you speak to somebody involved in Consumer protection in South Africa. There must surely be such an organization in the Pretoria area.

I am, at this time, still alive and kicking.

I like to live dangerously. It's more fun.

I found the story really amusing. It was a great payback!

As for arguing over Haggis, well perhaps not over the price but the origins. I read recently in a BBC article ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8180791.stm ) that Haggis originally came from England. That would be a good way to start an argument in a Glaswegian pub.

We haggled and decided to go Dutch on the beer, so that blew the whole American thing out of the window...

I bought my first 'IBM-Compatible' PC back in 1986. It came with MS-DOS 3.3 and a set of half a dozen 3.5 floppies marked "Windows 1.0" I installed them, and played with this pretty looking thing for a while. It had a notepad type orgram in it, and a paint program, and, as I recall, not much else. There were no other applications back then.

I got bored with it after a short while, and deleted it.

I upgraded a few times over the next few years, but it wasn't until some time in early 1994, when I finally installed Windows 3.1 on my computer. I was more than happy with DOS, and it was, for the time, quite fast and responsive on my 386-based machine with a huge 8MB RAM. Windows turned it into a relative slug, so much of the time, I stayed in DOS anyway.

I've always thought that those DOS days were of great benifit, as I've never been unable to use, or been intimidated by a command line prompt.

The last point is particularly worth noting. Why indeed tell the world that your home is going to be empty for a period of time?

Aww. You have a secret admirer out there somewhere.

Most everything you can grow tastes better when home-grown, simply because there's a lot less time twixt picking and cooking!

The media try to whip everyone in a frenzy about most anything. That's what they thrive on - sensationalist soundbites, and information taken out of context.

A terrible tragedy which was exacerbated by incompetence at the highest levels

I've gradually been working through everything on the menu over the last year or so. I've not been disappointed with anything yet.

Oh yes. I agree.

Actually the blog post was a little experiment in writing and
submitting a short post from my Blackberry.

I am also responding to your comment in a similar way.

Have a great Sunday!

Re: The Story of Me and Technology

I started off with a Sinclair ZX81 back in 1982. That had 16K RAM, and a rubber membrane keyboard. I then moved onto a Commodore 64, in 1984, and got online in 1986. The following year I got my first PC, with 640K RAM, a 12 inch VGA monitor, and a 30MB Hard Drive. That actually lasted me right through until 1993, when I upgraded to a 386SX, so I could try this Windows thing (which I only wanted so I could see graphical web pages).

This is the wittiest comment I've seen so far, about the whole sorry escapade.

I can't do nothing easily. I need something to occupy my mind. However, it's nice to wake up and know that I don't NEED to do anything in particular on some days. I don't feel a need to plan every minute of my life.

I am hoping to be able to do the same, but I have a busy afternoon, so not
sure if we'll get time to do it or not, or even get to the meeting yet!

I did a little fib too. My parents didn't actually have a phone. I had to either go to the public booth along the street, or to my grandparents house next door to use theirs.
