He didn't say he didn't, he just asked if it was possible.

I put video8 to dvd into amazons search box and got loads of things that say the will do the job, one example is what ever this thing is. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Video-2-PC-Capture-Windows-Camcorder-transfer/dp/B0049BE3TA/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=video+8+to+dvd&qid=1578934236&sr=8-2 For £40 quid you can do it from the comfort of your own home...

They were actually written by K.W. Jeter - I don't know if Jeter is to PKDick what Brandon Sanderson is to Robert Jordan, but he's definitely like Kevin J Anderson (but less prolific) as in he may have got the Blade Runner books because he'd already done the Star Wars novelisations. Am I over geeking here. Probably.

Yes... Certainly you would need man sized pockets you can't fit anything in the pockets of women's clothes. P.S. The Edge of Human & Replicant Night were the sequels to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Oh groan....

I don't know but it would be somewhere on the edge of human in a replicant night.

Alphabet is coming to get ya.

When I first went with Apple it was for the most part because I liked the ecosystem.

Skynet will be pleased to hear. Da rum dum dum.....

I'm smartphoned up to the eyeballs. That comment you've quoted was in answer to a post by Matchpoint and in reference to a post I made earlier but that wasn't about me. Have I lost you yet?

Smartphone obviously have functions that dumbphones don't but that doesn't mean you need / want anything the smartphone has to offer.

I don't think you need reinventing. You're alright as is.

You don't have to list your birthday - I haven't. You've been a member longer than me so this might be something that's changed over the years.

Which is what a smartphone is - Can I call him a moron without getting banned?

Nobody cares about your ignore list and everybody knows you ignore it anyway, so your song and dance about it is pretty much irrelevant.

Best phone I ever had was one of those little Nokia 5210s - I put it through hell and back at my work and it just kept going, poor thing. My iPhone certainly wouldn't cope with what I put that thing through.

It would seem that I'm on the ignore list so I'm not sure if I should even bother to offer advice to the OP, but just incase other people are reading this thread and wondering. Llike my good friend Mr Rusty said - the question to ask yourself is why do you even need a smartphone, is there some specific function that a smartphone can give you that a dumbphone can't or is it just that other people are telling you that you need to have a modern smartphone. If you don't really need one and you just need a new phone then there are plenty of dumbphones out there that you can buy new, the Nokia 105 for example is well reviewed for what it is. Most of the basic phones that don't have smart capabilities seem to use 2G which is fine for just texting and calling but I don't know how that would effect coverage, can you still get 2G in an area where you would get 4/5G. Research is your friend and you will find reviews of most things on YouTube, if you start by searching for 'basic phones uk' in the search engine of your choice that will bring up specific models you can then look into in more depth. As for whether you can use your phone while in foreign climes that will depend entirely on the phone company that you use and what you buy from them via your SIM card not the phone its self. https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_gb/nokia-105 For the sake of disclosure I went straight from Blackberry to Apple and I've never used and android.

Without wanting to be too nosy about your circumstances so asking rhetorically really, but have you worked out what the difference in cost between living on the boat and living in a house at London prices would be? And I suppose how secure you feel in your present accommodation? Selling the boat and investing that money wisely for your future is a perfectly sensible plan but with the boat being relatively 'young' if well maintained it could provide you with accommodation for a long time to come.
