Hi-tech dinner plate... I like it. I could just imagine Bill on the farm
sat in his tractor cab playing with his hi-tech dinner plate sorting out
his farm accounts and reading his emails, with an app controlling his
tractor, another controlling his muck-spreader, another feeding the
animals...
...and Bill fuming when it all went wrong!

Up North here perhaps we could fit one onto a flat cap, Norman could of
course disguise one as a sporran, although there was that hooha about
radiation with phones, might need lead undergarments.
A Scot with an iPad up his kilt? ooer missus, I hate to think!

I'm retired now Dilwyn, I thought that would mean more time for QLing,
but no, What with U3A, old Bikes, Luncheon club, Countdown, Garden and
grand kids ...........
I do a bit of work for my old employer during busy spells, includes
driving a satellite navigation control tractor, so yes chips are
everywhere even on fertilizer spreaders ( not muck spreaders though ),
combines read the crop yield as they cut it, satellites read mineral
deficiencies from space, this data is put on a card which is inserted in
the fertilizer spreader and it spreads the required amount where it is
needed instead of a wasteful blanket coverage.
Works quite well with the exception of trees !!! ( signal loss )
All the best - Bill
