      I like that site, but those cartoons are pretty pessimistic about life.

      I can only handle a few at a time.

        My bank (Lloyds) have just called me and have confirmed that, after my complaint on Wednesday, they are going to refund me every monthly account fee I've paid since May 1999!!!

        It started at £5 a month and is currently £12.95 so goodness knows how much in total it will be but it's well over £1500!

        Ka, and indeed, ching!!

              Just set the timer on the brand-new rice cooker the Japanesites of the forum suggested me. I'm actually thrilled to see how the rice turns out.

                I've got a rice cooker from Iran. It's great. Put a bit of oil in and you end up with a crispy base that lifts off the non stick pan.

                        An '80s-era Amiga controls the heating for an entire school district
                        https://www.engadget.com/2015/06/14/amiga-controls-school-district-hvac/
                        Think the Windows XP workstation you use at the office is ancient? It doesn't hold a candle next to what the Grand Rapids Public School district is using to control its climate systems. All 19 schools covered by the authority depend on a nearly 30-year-old Commodore Amiga 2000 to automate their air conditioning and heating. It communicates to the other schools using a pokey 1,200 baud modem and a wireless radio so behind the times that it occasionally interferes with maintenance workers' walkie talkies. Oh, and a high school student wrote the necessary code -- if something goes wrong, the district has to contact the now middle-aged programmer and hope that he can fix it. It's a testament to the dependability of the Amiga in question, but you probably wouldn't want to trust the well-being of thousands of students to a computer that's probably older than some of the teachers.

                            This is great, I read it in an article some years ago, the fact they are still going is ace.

                              If you was ever wondering what the crispy bit is called it’s called concon. Quite common in the Caribbean to make rice like that.

                                It also makes a mockery of companies charging millions for a new system when an Amiga can do the same job.
