    Do you have a games console?

    You play video games too? I'm still pretty surprised that DrB and KIAB play enough computer games to warrant specialist components.
    I'm not judging. Modern games seem like a perfectly reasonable recreation for adults, and I can see how a flight simulator could be a relaxing way to unwind in the evening.

    I just expected this forum to kick off with Raspberry PIs and arduinos, not joysticks and video game cards.

    It's one of those things. I don't need 'specialist' components but they are good to have, suppose it classes as a hobby.
    Spend money on what you enjoy:).

  5. I never knew you could have fonts in different colours before then.

    And I bet you never knew there is a hidden flight sim in Google Earth.:eek:

    Sure. Everyone needs to unwind.

    With hindsight it's pretty obvious. The people here will be practical people. Their first instinct will be to take a screwdriver to something, see how it works and they'll be unafraid to change things.

    I don't play them because learning how to play modern games looks pretty intimidating. Asteroids didn't need a tutorial.

    That's one thing I don't like about newer electronics. Years back I could repair the TV, radio and an assortment of items. Now everything is designed to be 'thrown-away':(:(.

    A prime example, I have a 30+ year old Dualit toaster. It's had two of the heating elements replaced and still toasts toast. If I brought one now I doubt I'd even be able to open it without breaking it.
    I got it at a car boot sale too.

    Cheers Kiab, never thought to go to tools, I usually just zoom around using the mouse and streetview.
