    What are people's preferred means of accessing boards.ie? For me it's via my iPhone. Or sometimes a tablet or desktop computer.

    What do Boardsies find most convenient?

    Do people still say iPhone?

    Why:confused:

    Nearly all phones are 'smart' these days. Just say phone. We'll figure the rest out.

    Well you've pretty much got all the bases covered already, hardly a rake of choices left for the rest of us.

    It drives me mental browsing boards on mobile. Probably the main reason I don't use boards so much is they haven't really fixed the problem of mobile browsing. Want an alien blue for boards.

    Getting a 404 on that Lizzie. Access Denied :pac:


    Almost exclusively on the touch site from my phone. Only a very odd time on the desktop site when I know it's gonna be a long post with lots of quotes, links and references.

    Multi-quote on the touch site would be a godsend to save me an awful lot of copying and pasting.

    If you're really good at al, you only need 1 can and the piece of string. Just splice the non-can end of the string on to any thread in AH using a some sort of fancy knot. I have a preference for the weaver's knot...

    Bribery they'd never let me in otherwise.

    They told me I had to preform sexual favors and all posters have to.

    Thinly veiled wasn't banned you know!

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Back in 1998 we had a very top-secret, eyes-only, not-even-Eircom-knows-about-this GPRS lab at Motorola Towers in Mahon, Cork. I remember being amazed as a young Cellular Infrastructure nerd, being able to dial-in to the console of a Sun E10K via a Timeport 280 cellphone connected to a laptop. It ran 112 kb/s, and we had to have a man with a red flag walking in front of it lest the more delicate ladies came over all peculiar at the sheer speed of the thing. How far we've come, now the average 8 year old spends most of the day Facebooking their Dropboxes with Selfies. Or something. :pac::pac::pac:
