Had bacon as part of a full English on "Tinkerbell" before landing at LHR Thought I had been smart getting a payg mobile deal with all you can eat data (15 quid via three) for visit only to discover there is marginal/no signal at jo's mums house Driving down to Brighton today, on the right side of the road in a Golf Blue motion. Will see what mpg I get given half a tank of diesel was 45 quid Free WiFi in Starbucks (that's my excuse) Nice weather though

Claire's email arrived safe and well, albeit a bacon free Top 10. Will endeavour to rectify this omission somehow

Sipped an overpriced latte at SFO while waiting for Richard Branson's finest to ferry Jo and I back to the UK. And double posted it would appear.

A sad, but not totally unexpected day. Take some time and read the all too familiar tale of a squandered opportunity here Too expensive for the mass market, too cheap for audiophiles, too flexible for marketing to get their heads around: too bad. Maybe the future is renting / streaming from the cloud, or playing in a walled garden ... Or maybe it's putting a software player on a raspberry pi, driving a USB DAC ... Nothing stops the existing hardware and software functioning today .. ( or tomorrow, in a VM going forward ... ) * sigh *
