Pleased you liked the spectrum keyboard kit. It's only sacrilege if you start with a perfectly working spectrum. These are designed as a good way to upcycle ones with damaged membranes, failed ULAs, or otherwise beyond economic repair. By the way, it's tyne as in time, not tin, but everyone gets that wrong.

***** I did a bluetooth version a couple of years ago, but it seemed overcomplicated dealing with batteries and charging and pairing. I found it limited the applications, where as you can plug a wired USB keyboard into (almost) anything, you never have to worry about pairing or batteries. So I stick with a wired keyboard. I like wires. If you don't like wires, try the Recreated ZX Spectrum.

+sal4 Based on lift door controllers I've worked with, this one might be 'self learning'. 'Lernen' meaning learn this button probably switches to learning mode. Then you can close and open the door by hand and the board learns where the endpoints are. Also being able to open the doors manually can often be handy to test if the doors work properly.

Dave, I'm not sure what it is about your audio processing.. but something leaves some pretty painful high frequency noise, including on your movie clips and such. It's most especially evident when you're opening stuff with that noisey plastic.. but that same type of noise happens when you speak a bit loud in the open room (ie, when opening mail). It's at least not obvious when you're actually examining stuff. It seems like it might be reverb related or something, but yea I'm not sure

Don't know what Universal were thinking. It's not like Hoyts actually has decent coverage across all of Australia. In most states they have less than a handful of outlets and none at all in 2 states/territories. Poor form. They should have done deals with both Hoyts and EventCinemas/BCC which would have at least given decent coverage along the east coast.
