    THANKS FOR THE HISTORY LESSON


    BEFORE THE DAWN OF TIME.... OR WAS IT THE 1950'S? A BRITISH PRODUCT ESPECIALLY IN HI-FI WAS A BEACON OF QUALITY IN A LACK LUSTRE WORLD.. I JUST THINK IT SAD THAT CONCEPT NO LONGER APPLIES, AS YOU QUITE RIGHTLY POINT OUT, IT IS WHERE IT IS SOLD
    & WHO SELLS IT THAT COUNTS . I PROMISE NOT TO ASK THE QUESTION AGAIN :(

    MAYBE, BUT NOT SURE THAT APPLIES TO THE SECOND HAND MARKET THOUGH ALEX. A BASIC LINN SONDEK ALWAYS SEEMS TO SELL FOR LESS THAN A GARRARD 301

    What you say just backs up my belief of being re-born after death.

    I completely agree Alex. Are the Quad electrostats still British built?

    My hifi is British-made, apart from the cartridge (made in Holland) and the speakers (made in Denmark or possibly Sweden)

    You know that key you pressed that turns all your letters in to CAPITAL letters?
    If you press it again it turns them back to lower case letters, much more polite and less irritating.

    gosh i see what you mean. do you think that the use of caps is ever justified or are you of the view that the shift key is shifty under any circumstances? anyway, wasn't the caps lock key originally put there for numeric data entry?

    regards

    Its all nonsense and snake oil - the old stuff and the new stuff all sound the same and if anyone says any different they are imagining it.

    PS. before you start, yes I am deaf!!

    Yep shift is shifty as a shifter

    I think you may be right about the original use.

    A truly powerful key.

    I'll see your Alt Gr and raise you a SysRq.

    (Is it the weekend yet?)

    Tsk. You had to go and do it. Its all fun and games until someone gets one in the eye.

    Take a '¦' and a '€'!

    You can keep your pesky SysRq. (and no pasting asci char's to cheat! - and no using foreign keyboard layouts!)

    Long live the mighty AltGr - king of the keys.
