I did download it but as yet haven't had a looky as I've spent the last hour getting rid of the "easylife" redirect virus that came with it.

Colin,
That happened to me some time back downloading PPX diagrams from somewhere. Thankfully my PC is now set up to see these things, it prevented the download and told me the site was dodgy. Shame though as I would seriously like to read this!!

Have just completed a download of the pdf. Use Firefox (Private browsing), Javascript disabled, cookies blocked, AdBlock enabled and 're-direct remover' on. Didn't see any option for an additional download disable and have a clean download of the pdf. Do like a Linux OS   Mik ------------- Warning!

Yup that's what I didn't do, I got half a dozen crappy search bars, a virus that downloaded all sort's of crap and a couple of hours of hard drive cleaning for my troubles but all's good now. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

Heehee, I'd forgotten all about this this book.
I just found my copy buried deep in my bookcase, so lost a half hour thumbing it, loads of memories in there - and the realisation I have a fair few of the brands' catalogues stashed away, including the Dave Simms range - heaps of old skool memories amongst that lot.
When I put the book back on the shelf I then found another old gem - Colin Carson's little orange 1978 book, 'Mobile Disotheque Handbook' - that one I'd totally forgotten about!!

I also have a copy of the Colin Carson's little orange 1978 book, 'Mobile Disotheque Handbook'. My father purchased it for me when i was only about 10 & i was disco's mad. Still read it from time to time & in good condition. So old skool, but some good memories back in the day.  |
