Hi Rob,

you seem to have a fixation with those floppies... ;-)

As it happens I was referring to your "graphics demo" floppy that quietly
downloaded any ROM images from the host beeb, whilst it displayed a series
of pretty graphics. You had a series of excuses to offer to the staff on the
stands to cover why the floppy was being constantly accessed - baaaad Rob!!!

Hands up anyone who remembers when certain "Acronsfot" pre-release game
software was liberated from their Econet server at a show.

Cheers

Darren
