Whilst we're on big words with a Latin root etymology, the above is a tortology.
Did you mean "tautology" ?

Re: Fg810 - A Working Title

I've still got (somewhere) an exercise book from my days at Mid Essex Technical college, when I was a Marconi apprentice.

I marvel at entries I made regarding the biasing of transistors, did I understand ? Probably not.

And I still have a copy of "Radio and Line Transmission" .

Re: The cloud.

What have we started now ... http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/imagex/misc/unsure.gif I think what Phil and me meant was file storage, e.g. Microsoft keep nagging me to use OneDrive, ditto Apple re iCloud, I prefer my files to be on my devices here. Unreasonable of me I know. :D Yes, you have t...

Re: General health matters.

I was not happy with my new blood pressure medication, and had previous contact with the surgery, even having an ECG. No problems were found. Still not happy, I saw another Doctor this morning, and he says the new medication was having the same effect as my usual pill, and was in fact doubling up on...

Yes, but ------

I would also avoid the Cloud if possible, but in some cases (like this forum) it's unavoidable.

I've got a few tucked away somewhere, kept for reference, but probably not relevant now. :(

The cloud.

Google Drive users have reacted angrily to a glitch leaving some unable to access files from the last six months.

Google said it was investigating the issue which is affecting some users of its hugely popular cloud storage service.

Re: 833A (GU-48) Amp

You are right Mike. You did a lot of work to help me in the amps early days and I thank you again. Of course, it would be wrong not to mention Nick, whose guiding hand and expert knowledge has helped all that have been in need of advice, and also Paul. Nor to forget those who have been enthusiastic...
