Yes, good idea, decriminalise theft and fraud.

Try to find reviews on-line or in magazines comparing the model you are interested in with machines of a similar spec. Read the whole review as some reviewers may look for features that you are not bothered about. Check the spec meets your requirements and preferably the machine is not...

Lenovo are a Chinese company that acquired the PC division of IBM; which is where the Thinkpad range of notebooks originated. No experience of them but they are still used by some corporates. Regards Bushy

You should be able to use any MiniDV camcorder providing it records/plays standard DV not (or as well as) DVCAM. I sold a Sony hc18e a month or so back as I couldn't connect it to my laptop. Info on DV formats http://www.adamwilt.com/DV-tech.html Regards Bushy

I haven't listened to it yet but, following the ORR comments, delay compensation was discussed on Wake Up to Money on Radio 5 this morning. You can be download as a podcast or listen online. Regards Bushy

Although I have the RTT Android app, I tend to use the website as it gives more detail. It is easy to identify and track the inbound stock when at a terminal or starting point. Regards Bushy
