Graham,

Thanks for the reply, I ordered second hand of web for book so can't
cancel but didn't loose much cash. Would of loved to make it to the
Hatfield event lucky enough to have joined the list just in time to find
out about it. Unfortunately I have exams on the Friday and Monday either
side, anyway it will give me a chance to get up to speed in the area
ready for 2004? Will look at www.automatedhome.co.uk.

Regards,

Stuart.

Welcome Stuart!

The noise on the list at the moment is being domminated by discussion
of a problem with a web hoster that many people here are using, so it
isn't always *quite* so busy :-)

I'm afraid that that book is rather poor, if you can cancel it then
do and I'll give you my copy for free. The best place to find out
about stuff in the UK is this list!

If you are able to get to Hatfield next weekend then we have the UKHA
2003 Conference which will be fantastic. Find out details about it
and loads of other stuff on Marks site www.automatedhome.co.uk
