[21:01] <daftykins> :D
[21:01] <penguin42> (1990)
[21:01] <daftykins> what detail!
[21:02] <penguin42> that's almost one sixel each
[21:29] <zxmpi> is there an teletext map of the island? :-P
[22:23] <penguin42> zxmpi: Only of Jersey http://www.treblig.org/daveG/teletext-jersey.jpg
[22:31] <zxmpi> i was hoping for a map you could put on a floppy disc and read on your 286 laptop :-)
[22:31] <penguin42> well that'll fit in a couple of sectors
[22:34] <zxmpi> i remember back then having a map of dublin and ireland on my psion in mid 90s. mind it was a road route map so only had major road and rail networks in <70k images iirc
[22:40] <penguin42> can't you just carry a Domesday disc with you?
[22:49] <zxmpi> did they bring out a speccy version yet?! :-P
[22:50] <zxmpi> on 300 3 inch discs
[22:53]  * penguin42 tries to remember the name of the tapes for the specy/ql/1pd
[22:53] <penguin42> micro...
[22:53] <zxmpi> microdrive
[22:53] <penguin42> ah yeh
[22:53] <zxmpi> 180k per cartridge iirc
[22:53] <zxmpi> great idea let down by manufacturer and quality control
[22:54] <zxmpi> voyager space probes are using essentially the same thing for last 40 years in deep space and still operational
[22:55] <zxmpi> it's fun looking at the retro communities now as they adapt sd cards and usb drives to connect and transfer data to 8 bit computers to replace non working tape and disc drives
[23:03] <penguin42> I guess it doesn't have to worry about dust
[23:55] <zxmpi> 1.4gb of doomsday laserdiscs divided by 300k per 3 inch disc... over 4666 discs rough guess. gonne be a bit of shuffling needed
