An increase in traffic won't be a problem. Interactive sites mostly run on the 1% of 1% of 1% rule. This basically means that 1% of unique visitors will sign up to a website. 1% of those will participate by posting a comment or whatever else the site allows and 1% of those will become regular contributors.

There is a lot of spare capacity available in that respect.

Yeah, I've noticed that. There are 1,369 members of this site, but there are only a couple of dozen of us who contribute on a regular basis.

TV Collector, I just acquired a vintage PHILIPS Series 78 colour television from the dump, if you want photos of it? I also have a thread in the vintage television section about it.

Well, I've made a start!

Brad, what is the origin of the "Survivors - where are they know?" article? I've been looking into Astor's history and noticed that the Astor entry could do with an update.

That article was written by me though quite some time ago. Facts and figures came from various sources.

A look at telecommunications history by an interested person who wasn't there. He has recorded things which those who were there wish we had.
