Widescreen Sat Nav.

My Satnav has changed my life! I can travel nearly anywhere in the
country, dropping off and picking up patients for Papworth and
Addenbrookes hospitals. It would be a right bugger referring to a map
all the time. Still, I do tend to ignore my Satnav at times.

Was that you that was supposed to go from Ilford to Chelmsford but paid
more attention to the satnav than the view through the windscreen and
ended up in Manchester?

You've just spoiled the illusion.

Suppose it's better if you want to watch videos on it as well, but
then again, why buy a satnav if you want to watch videos...

Illegal anyway in a car, I would have thought....

Only if you're the driver... *:-)

Isn't it illegal if it's *visible* to the driver?

Er... No, not me squire. I know where both Ilford & Chelmsford are,
and I've been passed Manchester on my way to Blackpool, so the
likelyhood of me ending up in Manchester by mistake is as close to
zero as makes no odds:-)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Xerox 860. Black-on-white
A4 (ish) screen in portrait orientation, auto-zoom (letters went
bigger when you edited already-entered text)

Still just a glorified typewriter, though. And the PERQ's screen was
larger. And, if you were running the POS operating system, you got a
little bee flying around the screen when it was "busy". Much better
than a stupid hourglas. And all back in '82, too! Although that was
made by 3RCC, before ICL had started rebadging them in the UK.

STFU, grandad.

You can do that with a map too. Trust me.

There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.

I have an in-car DVD for my daughter to use. There's a long wire
included in the bundle. Reading the instructions, it's intended to
be connected to the reversing-light switch, and pauses the DVD so the
driver doesn't miss anything....

Is this a joke?

It's because when you reverse the reversing camera comes on automatically.
