I hope it didn't leak, a leaky leak is the last thing you want, what with all that electricity flying about.

Thumbs down Re: A Real Grid Leak....

Problems all round with that link. First attempt, it failed to completely load; a second attempt locked up my computer; a third attempt caused this computer to crash.

Sorry to hear that Al, I tested the link as soon as I first posted it (I do that with all links I post) just tested again now and still ok at this end.

Question Re: A Real Grid Leak....

Having read the comments above - subsequent to my first post - I tried again, but same problems. I suspect that the link is operating system dependent - I'm using Windows 2000 + SP4 - or that are more recent edition of the application s/w is required: not sure (off-hand) what my currently installed version is.

Best not to move the equipment around much, although some motion may give a natural tremolo!

But I thought clog dancing was a neat way to spice up the magazine, and the pre-cursor to Sonos speakers looked neat on p.14.

And after the leaky leak leaked, it wouldn't leak at all.

An interesting way to squeeze the last drop of performance out of the detector.....though after the last drop leaked the performance would drop too.
