Hard News: You know what ..., in reply to Islander,
That's true, but I doubt the ComPost was being that nuanced. It would be well out of character for them.

Yeah, I was thinking "deja vu" as I read it.

Neil's problem is not with his sources but his interpretation (what a surprise). Because he wants them to mean a particular thing, that is all he can read in them. You really are pushing shit uphill with this one Simon. But they say suffering is good for the soul. ;-)

Yup. Get it while they'll let it.

I remember Ice Station Zebra, at the Plaza in Manners St (they mentioned Christchurch - I was stoked that Hollywood knew about NZ!), and I'm told the whole famdamily went to The Sound of Music on first release at the State in New Plymouth (but I don't know whether I really remember that or have seen it too many time since).
I remember Star Wars (the original) at the Cinerama in Courtenay Place - wi-i-i-de screen, big sound. I was about 16, I think (checks wikipedia - yep 1977)

I just scroll past anything by Bremner and a couple of others. My blood pressure thanks me.

You're not seriously expecting Neil to read anything with facts in it, are you?

Hard News: Still sounds good, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
NB: The 7th of May is the day in 1952 on which the concept of the integrated circuit, the basis for all modern computers, was first published by Geoffrey W.A. Dummer
Well noted, sir. Celebrations shall be had.
