I used to do that, only I started on an Acorn Atom. On several occasions I failed to record the program on a C90 before accidently knocking the 'king power plug out the back of it and losing the lot !Originally posted by gingerjediI used to spend hours typing the programs from magazines into my BBC B and was always disappointed with the results
does that count?

I'm having some difficulty programming a Sony remote control - so definitely geek free. I am not a geek for some other reasons, but I don't know you well enough to tell.
BTW if anyone knows how to get one of these b@stards to drive Sky+ . . . I would appreciate the assistance.
