I hope things et better for you and it's great to see you back

Hi Tim,

Welcome to our little group. Sounds like you have much the same interests as I do. While I find the physics fascinating (if a little mind boggling), I'm more interested in the awesome machine itself.

Hardly understood a word of that, clearly my IT knowledge is no longer state of the art

But thanks and well done
