Memory was lacking somewhat, but amazingly I remembered my password and login. So have not gone completely batty up top yet.
I was reading some posts about the old USB-Serial cables. Some were not that reliable, but recently have found one that costs a tad more (45db) But is WHQL certified for all platforms 32/64 bit, incl Win8. Guess what? It aint made in China either. Comes from Bonny Scotland from FDTI - Got one en route to Parkwood Towers. Will be interesting to see how good it really is after a 4.5db cable decided to drive my EQ6 in the opposite direction - Duh
Anyway, wonder if any of my old mates are still alive and kicking?

Welcome back Dave. Wow, found a partner who likes astro. Every time I meet a new lady, first thing I ask, do you like astronomy? If she then asks what it means, I run away
Not many clear nights here lately, I live not far from you. I bought the new EQ6 Alt/az about a month ago and still haven't used it. Mind you, we did have one good night, but I used my other scope that night.
Cheers Peter
