I'm not familiar with the apps of which you speak. Either way I would certainly be thinking about increasing the RAM, before the prices get even more silly.

I picked up a new mini PC the other day, took the 32GB option. It's got to the point where 16GB is the sensible minimum for 11.

Wow!!! That is an incredible achievement Jon, what an amazing thing.

I know that you haven't had the best year, but I hope that things are going on the up for you.

I have a 2012 Ford Mondeo, so that must have been a good year

I'm trying to decide whether you should take it as a compliment. What the hell, let's go positive.

Ah, that's a shame, you'll have to break out the airfix paints!

That looks stunning Jon. Out of interest, is the lower valance plastic? If so, I'd recommend a trim restoring product called Solution Finish.
