Re: Nothing In Particular
Very interesting. I didn't know that history. Ronald Dekker, he of uTracer fame, is a Senior Researcher at Philips and a Professor at TU Delft. Using his access to Philips' archives, he has put together a great page on the EF50 aka CV1091 (SWIDT) which is also referenced on the Wikipedia page: http...

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.
It's not like it hasn't been known for decades that pretty much every battery technology has issues with low temperatures as most rely on some form of chemical reaction and we all know, or at least those of us who did A Level chemistry do, that as the temperature falls, the kinetic energy of the mol...

Re: testing
I did a forum search for 'Millet' and this thread came up, hope it's OK with our-Ed if I hijack it for a bit. Testing, I'm clearing a stack of projects and 'stuff' I've been meaning to do for years that have piled up on my bench. I've found my old Pete Millet Soundcard interface box and M-Audio Tra...

Re: Nothing In Particular
SWMBO had it last year - awful.
I got the jab this year, so pheumonia, flu, COVID booster and shingles in November.
Felt like a pin cushion.
