I know just what you mean! I bought one of them new fangled Blu-Ray discs, and was appalled to discover that it would not play when I put the disc into my VHS recorder! I put your problem to the test, but now my telephone does not work correctly, mustn't have liked the water that got into the jack. I'm never boiling the kettle near the phone socket again! etc etc > the disc into my VHS recorder!

I am glad that steam didn't exist before BB arrived where I live! > Yes, I was a user of satellite BB out in the sticks where I live, before > BB got out this far, as 56k is atrocious.

It was OK for downloading large files, but that was about it. Eurosat I think it was called, and it was a few years ago. When broadband finally arrived it was 512k, but over time that has been increased by the phone company, now it's 3MB, and suits me fine. > It was 2mb, but that was download only, still had to browse the net with > dialup.
