Nicely done Sam!

eta:Mine's just arrived too!

If you have Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, or Windows 7 Enterprise, you can download a free XP with service pack 3 from Microsoft.

Some more virtual machine info here:

"Windows Virtual PC is designed specifically for small and mid-sized business users. It is integrated with the Windows 7 shell and Windows XP Mode setup. It also provides support to many USB devices and allows users to run many applications for Windows XP directly from a Windows 7 desktop with a single click. "

Looks useful . . . . .

No good for me, unfortunately. Could have used an old XP licence I suppose, but gave the last XP machine away to a local pensioner. Ho-hum.

I wonder if I can get a dirt cheap netbook with XP Home on it for Xmas?

Paul, if you have had your ToUcam PRO II for a few years, £6 seems a very cheap insurance policy for a full hardware backup to have in the cupboard?

Very nice Russ.

It's all trepidation and wibbles and wobbles before we do reflashes and firmware upgrades, then when we do one, it's all constructive achievement, rewarding, and occasionally even, meerkat.

eta: Now, who is up for that A to B instruction manual for auto-guiding my AZ3? *grins and runs away*

Great service with dads 'scope at Christmas, and great service again now with my own 'scope.

Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

Well it's the sort of place, it's hard to log out from, the people are brilliant, and it even got me to write a poem for the first time in 40 years!

Sorry about that by the way, I think it completely killed the thread . . . .
