Internet on the Amiga 1200 was fairly inexpensive and painless to set up (did have issues connecting when the router’s SSID was hidden) with an Airlancer PCMCIA Wi-Fi card. Who’d have thought in 1992 that that slot would turn out to be good for anything!

Fixed – thanks for letting us know!
I’m glad I’d already seen Arrival before I listened to this!
Speaking of working in the command line – I just upgraded P4V (the graphical component of Perforce client) was just upgraded on my workstation to the latest version [I’m forced to use a Windows workstation], and when I started it I was greeted with the following message:
“The Helix Visual Client (P4V) is the desktop app that frees users from the grasps of the command-line, facilitating greater flexibility and deeper insights into the assets stored in local and central Helix servers.”

Watched Arrival last week – really enjoyed it 🙂
This podcast was rubbish!
Well, about 75% as rubbish as the rest of these podcasts… 🙂
