Hi John and Rod, I think I'm right in saying that the "gratis" first year network subscription doesn't start until you actually register the network software and start using it. If you buy a second-hand RB, any unused network subscription transfers with the Box. After the 1 year, you can still upload data/info. to the network to be viewed by others, but you can't access/download the network info.. My intentions are not to use the network until I've got at least one external antenna erected, as I can only play about 5 or 6 hours a week. €60 when the pound was worth something worked out at close to £40, now it won't be far off £60! I told my wife about 5 years ago that the pound would be devalued until it was worth a Euro, then we'll (UK) be joining the ERM. ERM, no thanks, I was around at decimalisation (prices doubled in under 12 months), when I started motoring (on private land, of course) at 14 (1963), petrol was 4/6 a gallon, that's 22.5p (yes, £0.225 per imperial gallon), Players Navy Cut/Senior Service were the most expensive fag at 4/3 (22.125p!) per 20 pack, you could buy Park Drive and Woodbines in little packs of 2s and 5s, Durex from the barbers, and "safe sex" cost more fags. Oh, Happy Days.
