marcus_m: OT: how did you get rid of the two small people beside the name? Marcus Marcus, Users without the two small people have gone off line! Andy T.

KingStreet: Andy, There will be a date code on the products sticker, such as on mine - 02W47 This denotes the item was made in the 47th week of 2002. 03W25 would denote the 25th week of 2003,etc etc This xxWxx code is on most telecom products,and gives you a production date accurate to within a week. Hope that helps, Regards your favourite Manchester

Dimentia is creeping up on me! My serial is therefore 86229191 and this dispels your third and fourth number theory. Andy T.

Thanks for replying Peter, but is there any way of telling it's age by the serial number then? Andy T.

Hi Greg, Continuing discussion on HERE Andy T.

Oh dear, I've made a total pratt of my self on eBay I've told everyone that this Beotalk 1200 was made in 1996 and some kind person has pointed out that they weren't made til 2001. Having checked on Beoworld products, I should have known better! Roman numerals on the back say copyright MCMXCVI. Well I know VI means 6 and I knew it couldn't

Ha ha. You're not alone, Greg. I have a wireless weather station. The display sits on my coffee table. It shows wind speed, precipitation, humidity, temp, rainfall mm etc. Unfortunately the outside temp is broke so I'm considering buying a new, better one. While in Struer I visited Frede and noticed that he had a weather station too. I wonder

Great photo' Greg. It behooves me to order my own mug, which I will do tonight. BTW Is the reflection in your monitor a landscape in Norden with a weather station in the background? Andy T.

Nah then. Could it be to do with the "Year 2k" bug, remember that? Andy T.

Wow! I think it's great that Beoworld en Espaniol has so much traffic, about a fifth of the general forum. Do you think it reflects the availability of B&O equipment in Spain compared with North American availability? Andy T.
