  Excellent, we should form a CyberDog didn’t-users group!

  Cyberdog was Apple’s mid-90s attempt at a web browser (and newsreader, ftp &c &c) for that new-fangled Internet thing. I think the name may have been a play on ‘fetch’, not a nod to glowsticks and trance : )

  Purely anecdotal (and using the older n Extreme and two AEs), but I never ever got this to work satisfactorily as a base station and two extenders connected over Ethernet: One AE extended the network but with iffy connectivity, the other never worked at all (dotted line sounds familiar).

  I think this is another bit of Apple “well, we tried” tech and my Cyberdog browser connected over ISDN through my GeoPort adapter agrees.

  bloke down the pub reckons it’s a few things -an effect of Brexit (we’re outside the trading bloc, less insulation from shock) and the gov handling of the crisis generally (which is, I suppose, also a consequence of Brexit).

• The working from home thread: tips and advice

  Some good observations and tips here, thank you.

  The large balloon of anxiety in my chest that has hit me every day since WFH started last week has gone (I couldn’t settle in the mornings ... worked most effectively from midday to 8pm). I think I’m adjusting. I am missing the commute though, so am going to try fauxmuting from tomorrow (ride to the factory gates and back, try not to lick anything).

  ^ Nice!
  Agreed, I’d go with the freewheel swap for cheap + quick + relatively painless. To my eye, the rear derailleur cage looks long enough to handle it : )

  Thanks y’all. Reclaim-and-upgrade presses all the buttons for me.

  That’s very interesting : )
  I’ve had a pair of Tannoy Eshers from new and always wanted to modify them to make them bi-wireable/bi-ampable/(apply current loudspeaker fashion hack here). But life and decades of DIY got in the way.
  Is crossover ageing a thing?
  Mine sound okay, but have suffered from 30 years of benign neglect (for example, the veneer is knackered from water staining) and I want to reclaim them. Just thinking if this is another factor to consider? TIA.
