    Here in the UK our bank cash machines run on Windows. How do I know? I've seen the corrupted Windows display when a cash point has crashed!

    Real software doesn't crash.

    It's such a shame that computers have a reputation for crashing and being unreliable when the reverse is actually true.

    I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.

    Please ask on the open forum if you have a question and I'll be happy to help,
    if I know the answer.

    Heh, isn't that the philosophy of super reliable systems? No one notices when it's working but everyone takes notice when it breaks. Kind of reminds me like when I sprain my wrist or ankle or whatever.

    No one remembers 99.9999905% uptime what they remember is the 5 minutes last year they weren't able to access something. It's just the way the human mind works.

    *Hi voltage shock prevents circuit or a method.

    *230V wall outlet which won’t give any shock.

    *Wind turbine generator to give enough sufficient power.

    *Sending data through laser beams.

    *A good PCB etching solution at home.

    Experience is directly proportional to the value of the equipment ruined.

    What if a double twist loop is cut the same way, what do you get???
