Thanks everyone. Very useful.

Aside from the usual shower of nothingburger lowball roles from the agencies no one has ever heard of, I am getting an increasing number of calls for roles falling into an appropriate range.

One today was very promising, and approaches (but doesn't meet) my highest ever rate from some years...

[Dorkeaux]

Apparently "You lost, get over it!". Nope.

Well to be fair, I worked on more Amdahl copies than I did on actual IBM/360 machines.

Fujitsu, Hitachi, Siemens and many others made plug-compatible clones of IBM mainframes.
I presume their peripherals, applications and O/S would run on IBM hardware, though I can't think of anyone...

If you are referring to an OS specifically, I have Anduinos installed on an old laptop. It's a free Linux distrubution.
Pretty good, and not a million miles from Windows in look and feel.
Zorin OS also gets good reviews....

Were it me (and it is, I have presbyopia) for that use case I would do what LadyMuck and others suggest.

I have a setup in my workshop with a surplus Lenovo corporate desktop box about the size of a small cigar box.
It's not the latest spec, but plenty powerful enough for years to...

Ahhrg.. Now three companies in total using my residential address.
All set up at the same time with exactly the same people and structure.

On to Companies House again, then Hector and the Filth.

Now that I read it back, that could be my next band's name..

[Dorkeaux]

Yes, it's a brand new company and the Companies House entry indicates that they have done an ID check on him.
Great job!

Also yes, I have accounts with all the credit reporting agencies you mentioned.
I think every contractor that gets vetted or applies for a mortgage needs...

[Dorkeaux]

Resurecting this thread. Zommmbeeee!...

I have started to receive post from Companies House at my residential address.

It's not for my company!

I see on Companies House that some Latvian dude has just registered a company with my address associated to it.

Hey Peeps,

I don't know why I didn't think to ask here sooner.

I belong to a club that meets annually.
Lots of optional paid events and a little merch.

We need a website that can do the following:

• Be inexpensive.
• Be spun up for 2 months a year, then

Starting to run out of bananas. Here it is: ...

[Dorkeaux]

Most excellent, congratulations.
You know you want one: ...

[Dorkeaux]

Yes, true HobNob.
There is still the "Crucial Store" on Amazon, though.
I don't know what that even means. Is it an official sales channel for Crucial, or is it just Amazon grouping like products together?

Yes, I know. Amazon is evil.

[Dorkeaux]

Eh? Who said anything about 3x the work done?...

[Dorkeaux]

Should you wish to extend and simultaneously deplete your collective war chast I can recommend Neal's Yard at Borough Market.
Best cheese shop I've been in, but my wife makes serious inroads into our retirement fund every time she visits.

But she earns, and I also love the stuff so...

[Dorkeaux]

Ah, no. It is non-ECC memory. They don't make it obvious, though. Had to dig it out.
Has memory really trebled in price since September?...

[Dorkeaux]

£630 for two off Amazon. Crucial Pro memory, I think it's to your spec....

[Dorkeaux]

Holy Tulip! Prices have moved on since I last made a memory purchase.
The lack of availability and cost are crazy.

I only buy a new laptop every few years and used to buy the lowest amount of installed memory possible, then upgrade it myself.
For a much smaller amount than...

[Dorkeaux]

Exactly!
I'm not the CEO of, well, anything now.. But this is what I've been talking about.
Just learn to use the bloody things. It's not that hard....

Kinguin is a popular choice.
Originally a site specialising is selling used video games, they sell a lot of grey-market Microsoft licences at a very steep discount.
These Microsoft licenses were usually originally purchased by PC manufacturers for installation on new machines.
