#2107 — observation made

some time ago I latched onto some Sinclair related
torrents that are:

ZX-Spectrum.7z	    a LOT of spectrum ROM's TAP's etc

YourSinclair	    pdf's of all the Your Sinclair issues

Roms - Sinclair Zx Spectrum - Games 80+90.rar
		   ( self explanatory)

and

SinclairUser	    pdf's of all the Sinclair User Issues


They continue to be active uploads from my sharing,
so Folks out there are still downloading stuff somewhere.
when I look (ok also when my torrent program is running)
I see activity for these still.

anutter 'Humm"

Anyone recall the comp.sys.sinclair Team SETI project
participation? Is the 'team' still operational?
Anyone doing it any more?

My god, that was over 10 years ago!
I doubt it lasted beyond 2005 that thing. 
I used to be a part of it and I've not run seti since about then.
Think that was just a passing fad. 

Besides, since then much more worthy uses of distributed computing like
folding@home cropped up. (protein folding, much more beneficial than finding
an alien civilisation that's so far away we'll never be able to do anything
about it anyway)

We've also increasingly moved on to computers that blow hot air at your 
knees whenever they're being used to full capacity, and stay nice and 
quiet and cool the rest of the time (as opposed to 2005-era computers 
that sounded like jet engines no matter what), which tends to dispel the 
notion of all this free computing power going to waste.

So, about that steak I owe you. Are you visiting London any time soon, 
or can you recommend a steakhouse in Oxford?

The plural of cat is cats.
The plural of dog is dogs.
See how it works?
The plural of ROM is ROMs.
The plural of TAP is TAPs.
The plural of PDF is PDFs.

At least I didn't try and employ a palindromic malapropism.  :-)

Whilst I'm a fan of the apostrophe police as much as the next man, the
issue here is not the misplaced apostrophes, but the fact they are
unlikely to actually be ROM images.
