    They're reintroducing them (but calling them "Buyer Fees") on 4th February.

    Did they do all of the muggings themselves?

    I coveted one of the home decks that a socket on the front for a PC keyboard.

    (PS/2, none of this USB nonsense)

    You probably had one of these, which for whatever reason Sony released at the same time. Exactly the same features.

    (and instantly obsoleted by MDLP the following year, and then by NetMD a couple of years after that, at which point any sensible said fuck this and bought an iPod. Which is why the late HiMD models and so rare)

    Hang on what? How do you faster than normal speed over optical?

    Just looking to see of the rug heaters heat the space in any way or if it's just warm to the touch.

    If you want the air in the room to be warm you need to do the heat loss calculations and work out whether 600W is enough to compensate. The method of delivery is ultimately unimportant.

    I suspect you will be disappointed.

    If you look in the "Company" columns headcount there went up 25 but cost went down £1m.

    I think the answer is there's not enough detail in these numbers to learn anything much.

    Oddly the Ashford factory move isn't mentioned anywhere or alluded to in any way that I can see.

    There's not really anywhere sensible to mount a wide rear light when you have one of these. I have a Secula on the right seat stay.

    The C and A are new names introduced in 2021 for the classic steel design, the A having various cheaper components. The P line is similar but has a Ti fork and a significantly different (also Ti) rear triangle that takes different gear options (such as the 4 speed derailleur).

    The T-line introduced many redesigned parts and has very little in common with the older models, other than sharing a rear triangle with the P-line. The major frame parts are Titanium and it has carbon forks.

    The G-line has 20 inch wheels, disc brakes and shares some superficial design choices with the T-line, but is steel with an aluminium fork.

    The pre-2021 Titanium models are similar to the A and C line but their forks and rear triangles and some other small parts are Ti, but with no significant compatibility differences.

    Before 2021 bikes were known by a 3 letter/number code indicating their handlebar shape, number of gears and rack/mudguard-having-ness. There was also a thing called a B75 which was a precursor of the A-line.

    Yes. Watch out for model with a hole for a wire in the front, which you don't want.

    If it blew the fuse and tripped the RCD but not the circuit breaker it's probably a Live-to-Earth fault which is the kind of thing a failing heating element does, possibly intermittently as it heats up.
