JRT,

As you say, we have seen it all before. The drop-off seems to coincide with a definite improvement in weather conditions. It has been beautiful here this week, with that spring warmth that drives one out into the great outdoors. We tend to make the most of it over on this side of the pond because it can all end so quickly. I think rain is due again this weekend actually. As if we haven't had enough already.

I have also experienced a lack of spontaneous reaction with the keyboard and mouse. Must be a general wearing out accelerated by dust and ale slops accumulating beneath the keys. You probably only need to replace those without needing any adjustment to the old 450.

There seems to be a certain finality about your last sentence which reminds me of that gallant gent Captain Oates when he ventured forth from the snow-swept tent. I hope this is a completely erroneous impression...
