      My Samsung TV has an option to format a HDD to its liking, it is meant to be able to use drives that are pre formatted FAT32 or ExFAT but it often can’t. Drives formatted by the TV show up just fine on a Windows PC though.

        My current case is of the “Don’t worry about it” variety. Its the standard height for a full size ATX mid tower but wider and much deeper than most. There are also 10 drive bays and 3 different ways of mounting a water cooling kit along with an EPS sized PSU.

        The upshot is that when it comes to whether a component will fit I ” Don’t worry about it” ๐Ÿ˜‚

            Well done.

                    I was not best impressed with the “Game” of Life when I first encountered it Ed, I kept reading about how amazing it was in the computer press and I knew it was some sort of simulation but there were no screen shots. Then one day a machine code listing for it, to run on a 1K ZX81, appeared and I spent 2 hours typing in a long list of meaningless numbers only to have it crash and corrupt its self the first time I tried to run it.

                    I kept trying over the course of the next 2 weeks and eventually got it to run.

                    What did I get for my trouble ? A few apparently randomly moving black and white squares ! ๐Ÿ˜‚

                      Did they point you towards any specific bit in all that ? I can’t see any part that expressly says that your Website can’t be a forum. On the other hand, I suppose a forum is not really the same as a Website ๐Ÿค”

                              That was lucky. I got the same offer from Uber but I tried to use it at 3 local restaurants and found they were shut due to Corona virus ๐Ÿ™

                                    In my opinion the corona virus will pass but the tracking powers would remain forever.

                                      Do i sence a degree of blowing hot and cold above ?

                                      One the one hand the government should be given unlimited emergency powers to track our every move and on the other they can’t be trusted not to exploit the situation ๐Ÿค”

                                        My favorite way of calculating the national average wage would be to do the mean and then discard the figures for anyone earning more than double or less than half of that before doing the mean again. No government does it like that though because the result is too low for their liking.

                                          In my opinion the study of statistics is a waste of time and effort.

                                          IF you can get accurate figures then a quick look at the raw data can give you a feel for what’s going on but trying to use mathematical methods to get finer detail is usually pointless.

                                          There are just so many methods to choose from, even the average could be the mean, the mode or the median.

                                            Very good luck Bob.

                                            Does the hospital have WiFi ? Northwick Park has NHS free (useless) and premiun with odd fees, ยฃ5.00 for 4 hours or ยฃ15.00 for 7 days. Gouging the visitors I suppose.

                                            Premium allows streaming so I used it for watching catch up TV when I was in over Christmas.
