Hi Pat,
Thanks for the information on CLUED - mos interesting. As I previously
mentioned my mast has planning permission with some restrictions, which
I now ignore.
I feel inclined to let sleeping dogs lie because I can use the mast just
when I like. On the other hand an unfettered planning arrangement would
be nice - I will have to give it a bit a thought.
I have just joined a local computer club under the auspices of the U3A,
whose main interest is Linux. From what you say such a move might be timely.
Regards
Peter, G3LDO
There is nothing inherently wrong with .doc but .odt tends to be the
native default in Open Office and Libre Office running with the Linux
distros on my machines. Being a Linux and open source fan I like to do
my bit to promote alternatives.
He who would be obeyed has plans to require PC manufacturers to
implement UEFI secure boot on certified Windows 8 machines. This could
if implemented result in buyers being prevented from installing or dual
booting other OS's. How would you like to be prevented from choosing
which brand of tyre you fit on your car? Or, perhaps, even which brand
of juice you put in your tank. Ultimately one might be unable to run
uncertified experimental software on a Microsoft proprietary OS. Sorry,
Andy but it's a 'freedom' thing that some of us oldies who wore duffel
coats in the 50's and 60's mumble into our real ales about.
Anyway, herewith, a fresh attachment in .doc
p.s The file was slightly smaller in .odt - my gut feeling says smaller
= more efficient !
