Ouch. I thought it was when you can't get off the couch without making a noise.

That's from having a heavy lap top on your lap for 15 years.

We set up the Sailwave User Group 3 April 2001! Sailwave is a few months older.

I was thinking OS, which was Windows 98. But as I recall I didn't have Sailwave on that box, only using IE to display results I calculated on another slightly younger one.

But its a good reminder actually, thanks guys. I haven't done an open since the clubhouse refurb was finally finished, and we have a winter Topper open in 2 weeks. Yes Sailboat weekend! I must go and check that I have my act together and the wiring works.

But here's a gratuitous plug for Topper people. Come down to Island Barn reservoir (near Hampton Court) on Saturday 5th and check out our refurbished clubhouse and newly fence free banks. Whilst personally I am unconvinced (to say the least) about scheduling an open on Sailboat weekend, maybe if you come from further afield you might like to do the open on Saturday and Sailboat on Sunday. Family members uninterested in sailing could do Hampton Court on Saturday and take a tube into town on the Sunday...
