frightening thought for an OS from a company that invented terms like fatal error, crash, total system failure and blue screen of death Derek

Did they? Apart from BSD I think you'll find that they long predate Windows.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com, Tim Hobbs blithered:

Maybe, but M$ raised them to an unheard of level!

so GbH was, like...

Blind man goes skydiving for the first time. He's worried about when to pull the cord, and asks the instructor "how will I know when I'm near the ground?"

"The lead will go slack."

hmmm

Any budget Richard ? Do you need fancy features ?

yes - Tim they do but not MSDOS the micro$oft operating system I 'only' started my usage at v3.3 by which time such these friendly terms were in situ rather then more impenetrable system halted error 24.4 as happy days mind you they may appear in cobol Derek Hmmm you wouldnt like a factory sealed set of install disks for windows 3.1 and dos V5.0 cheap would you very collectable - they've been collecting dust for years

As cheap as possible! Dont need any fancy features, just four digits. Richard

Make one for about 3 quid. Maplin. Sensor has to be no more complex that wrapping a wire around a lead from the dizzy, use something to measure the unductance, write a 20p EPROM with a short code to multiply the inductance meaure by 8 (if you have a V8), output result to 50p LCD...

Alternatively, go check Merlin Motorsport, or possibly Vehicle Wiring Products.

I had been thinking of making one myself, but for this price I really can't be arsed.
