    Why do you think I have Nathan? Got him on the turbo, wired up to produce
    electricity as he pedals. Easy peasy!

    It's slightly more efficient than the hamster running on a wheel ;-)

    Cheers, helen s

    Why do you think they've been training Nathan up? Pedal harder Nathan,
    the screens going a bit dim.......

    How old is Nathan now .... he must have grown since I saw him in Paris ....
    before you know it he'll be like me at that age when cars and girls caused a
    temporary pause in my cycling activity ... for about 30 years!

    He's almost 17 and he's well taller than his Dad & taller than me too. As
    yet, he's not showing overt interest in either the opposite sex, or the same
    sex for that matter, and is far more interested in bikes. No doubt that will
    change and I have the embarassing baby photos saved ;-)

    on BT.
    When you get broadband you will never look back.

    Sign up with someone else then. BT is a dreadful supplier anyway, and
    companies like MetroNet and Eclipse offer one month terms.

    However, the data still has to come down a BT line (Or Telewest if that
    is an option, though the contract terms are the same!).

    It was available here, but I was too lazy/mean/apathetic. Now I can chat
    while David loads things onto his website and look at my news groups
    when my phone conversations get dull...

  18. Hope you get it faster than us. It took about 5 hrs on the phone and
    three engineer visits. A customer service assistant, who was also an
    engineer had the same problem as us and let us in on the secret.

    IF you have an ISDN line split on your main line then they have to
    change the "DAC" which splits the signal because the originals are
    cheap and incompatible. Once this single nugget of info is known, all
    else went smoothly. My ISDN line was for work, and will now be
    decommissioned.

    Of course prior to that, the new iMac had no trouble connecting via a
    neighbours WIFI.

    regards,
