I used to know a shop like that in Huddersfield in the early 1980s. It still had a sign in the window advertising battery charging. An old lady ran it, I think it gave her something to do. I just wish I could remember her name, it's driving me nuts that I've forgotten. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
