Hmm.. I'm quite tempted to get one too. Although I've got a SNES and a Retron 5, if I wanted to buy the games listed above for it, it would cost a fair few quid (I sold Castlevania IV earlier for £40 for instance). Hopefully Nintendo will make plenty of them available; partly because I think they could do very well out of it and partly to avoid all the problem the NES mini had with the extortionate price mark-ups on Ebay. |

https://www.theguardian.com/science/201 ... or-science Interesting article about Maxwell and scientific publishing. I don't agree with it in its entirety, as academic publishing paid for my house, and although Headington Hill Hall is lovely, I wouldn't call it palatial. The chasing of getting papers into the big three journals is real, though, and CNS would be ace. Nowadays, it is all about the h-index which looks how many times you have been cited (mine is 8, which isn't bad, thanks, methods papers!). Worth a long read. |

If they both turn up then that'll be fine. I have a friend who wants one but said last night "It'll be alright. I'll order one in the next few weeks". I'm guessing he's going to miss out until I step in to save the day! (And charge him double what it cost me  )

Something I've been wondering (for about 60 seconds, I've not been pondering it for weeks or anything like that). Do you think we could operate the aircraft carrier? So, let's imagine by 'we' I mean everyone who's posted in here in the last two weeks. So, if we just took those people and put them in the aircraft carrier... let's say it's already in the middle ocean but not 'turned on' (key is in the ignition, but not engaged). Without any other personnel on board could we, between us, work out how to luve in the aircraft carrier and figure out how it 'works'. Do you reckon they have manuals on board? |

One problem that springs to mind is the turning circle. I struggled with a hire boat on the Norfolk Broads once because the controls were a steering wheel at the front of the craft so I didn't get the hang of the delay in the response (not to mention turning the wheel left moved the thing left!). It's so much easier standing at the back of a narrowboat with your hand on the tiller, watching and feeling the boat respond. Starting, stopping, and avoiding shallow water might be tricky too. |

You'll have to find a way to get back on board, though, as I think we chucked you over the edge. I don't think we can let the retired chaos on board. Firstly, then it's not just us, and secondly, they are almost certainly pirates. |

That's what I was wondering. If we could even get it going, get the power on, etc, before even thinking of moving it. I wasn't really thinking of a missing, rather just could we get it from, say, Bermuda back to the UK. Or just potter around in it. They must have some kind of entertainment on board. I wonder what they do for things such as cheese? I wonder if they just never have cheese? That would be a sad boat. |
