You certainly flew over the Canyon on that route, so I assume you're correct. There's nothing else quite like it anywhere this side of Mars.
Will Rogers never met me.

Poundland wants to buy 99p stores![^]

If they can knock them down to 65p they can say "I'd buy that for a dollar"..
(I'll get my coat before the exchange rate changes)
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

On the wireless the question was asked "Poundland has confirmed it will buy out 99p Stores, what will this mean for prices". If I'd been asked I couldn't have resisted the temptation to say "one penny, presumably"

Doesn't surprise me they've really gone down hill over the years. Used to be a great place for hobbyists to go and get electronic items and such.

There aren't too many electronics hobbyist these days.
You can probably blame surface mount for leaving the kitchen table experimenter behind. With thru-hole everything is big and dorky like a Radio Shack store.

Yeah I agree electronics has come a long way and with the Chinese producing everything for nothing we are becoming an endangered species. But I still love to do it!

I hate that when it happens.

Why? Through-hole parts are still available reasonably priced.
But anyway.
I use SMT parts on perfboards for trying out circuits all the time.
1206 resistors & caps are *huge*, even if tweezers are needed to solder that, even beginners should have no trouble using them or 0805 parts, which fit exactly between two copper pads with 0.1" spacing.

I thought of upgrading my old computer from 4k RAM to 16 mb, using 628512 static RAMs[^].
Using SMD versions would save a lot of space and I would get the expansion done on a single board, but soldering so many tiny connections appears to be a huge pain.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

What "old computer" that came with 4Kbytes can be made using 16Mbytes? And with 32x 512KB modules?
*scratches head*

One of those.[^] Mine, just like the one on the picture, still has some expansion slots free.
The addressing logic will expand the address bus with an 8 bit latch to access up to 256 64k pages. And it has to be static RAM since I don't have any reliable DRAM controller. Also, this particular SRAM is still easy to get, is inexpensive and also still works fine with a 5v power supply.
