The eeePC could in principle also connect to Ziggo WiFi anywhere where people
have their routers configured for it.
It is a service from Ziggo where you can allow others to use your WiFi.
Works most places and is then free.
But I have that WiFi off. Was hacked long ago here.
As for memory size, yes, but I have a large USB stick and it will just boot
into opencpn with that.
It is not fast though.

The PIN system has now failed a couple of times here, millions of Euros damage
as people could not pay for their shopping,
there is a lot of bad IT, kids without in depth knowledge of the stuff seem to
be let
lose to create large networks, the tax system IT was a disaster that did cost
millions
and still is not working it seems, project had to be stopped?

People here are talking about buying a safe and getting their money / saving
from the banks.

What I meant is that I can post to Usenet and the source IP quoted in the
headers will be my home IP address.
Not all Usenet providers do quote the source IP though.
You seem to be using a New Zealand Usenet provider?

Yes, I know they know everything, that is why (but I trust you do not tell
anyone OK) I
keep the invasion plans for the US on a separate laptop screened with alufoil
buried
under 'het torentje' in The Hague.

RCD to me means 'Radio Control Dienst' (radio law enforcement for the English
lurkers),
these days I have a ham license....
In the long ago past the RCD was something to watch out for.
These days they are called 'Agentschap Telecom', you probably know, I assume
you have Marcom A/B.

With more and more 'tronics all that is needed is a large EMP pulse
and the world will come to a standstill, that includes modern cars, navigation,
power, etc, just a matter of time.
If humans do not do it, then a big solar eruption may.

I design 'tronix and am well aware of its limitations.

And hackers, the little raspi webserver I run for test most of the day on
 http://217.120.43.67
try it, with a copy of my real website, sees many hacking attempts from all
countries in the world
all day long.
Its logged.

Give it some years and perhaps everybody gets a chip at birth.
Then new technology, identity theft, hackers.. EMP,
possibly the next upcoming nuke war will kill all tronix and we will be free 
..
??
Sail away

Its is like when I dropped that many GB harddisk, with so much valuable stuff
on it.
Oh well, life goes on.
