Large drop in sync...

[AvengerUK]

Hi all,

Ive been woundering recently, since the usual "nutters" in the street have gone mad on the christmass lights (looks more like blackpool illuminations..) my sync speed has plummited to ~ 1800kbs with interleaving on, where it has been 2500 or more over the past few months.

Could, theoretically, the christmass lights be having an effect?!

I too have lost a bit of sync but not too much atm

Oh yes, it's quite common at this time of year - causes drops, loss of sync and all kinds of festive stuff.

Should be better in mid Jan though/ 

[AvengerUK]

Thought so! Since they came on in the evenings my sync was dropping every 5 mins - had to ask to get interleaving turned on! O'well, tis the season to be jolly...

(very jolly since my mac code just arrived and i can finally complete my order!)

[AvengerUK]

Or not...

Another problem with this time of year...goblins are very common  "There's A Problem
An order has already been placed on this line - duplicate order submission. "

Should be better in mid Jan though/ 

Though with the increased propagation of radio signals during darkness, this first winter of widespread Max may throw up some interesting issues!

Santa's bringing it - you'll have to connect through the chimney.

If it's anything like mine, it will be 9am the next day.

Ignore Rik, they did his late on purpose.
It's almost always in the early hours of the morning.

Sadly, I'm inclined to believe that's true. Does it make me paranoid? (Who else do you know who went through three faulty TVs before getting one that worked, or two iPods, or 1200 tape streamers!  )

Somebody's got to test 'em!! 

[Rik]

You have a point, but how come no-one is paying me then??? 

[AvengerUK]

I am! -  5 Monopoly per hour..accepted in all major high streets, e.g. mayfair, park ave.. etc

[Rik]

Well, in that case, your connection is guaranteed.

[AvengerUK]

Well, in that case, your connection is guaranteed.

Whey! have yourself a bonus...*hands out 1 green, miniature house*

[Rik]

Thank you. In another 10 years I shall own all of Mayfair.

Time to develop a really bad headache.

Proberbly being a bit blind/short sighted at this of the morning...but why would i develop a headache? (note, if it was a joke it is also waaay to eairly for my sense of humour to become active!)

[Rik]

A bad headache would allow you to get home before 4pm...

[AvengerUK]

Unfortunaly i think i might of already tried that one a little to often
