    Early days, but might there be any prospect of seeing a BBC Store app on any of the Humax boxes in future? Or streaming one's BBC Store purchases via Humax box iPlayer?

    IMO it would have been better to miss Xmas than launch solely on W10.

    I didn't even realise such an app existed. Having said that it's a rare event for me to use or download apps. I'm afraid the app revolution has sort of passed me by.

    It doesn't, yet, except for W10. That's what annoys me. Not even a facility to access purchased programmes from existing iPlayer apps, apparently. When is a cloud not a flipping cloud.

    Nothing new, except the shorted name, The first one I wrote was for the BBC micro. It was called a program at the time.

    Certainly not! It was called a program to distinguish it from a programme. I wrote hundreds.;-)))

    I think this is correct. Never once called a programme.

    That's the American spelling. In the early days, in the very British places of employment in which I laboured, we wrote programmes.

    Not me, So different. So were U an IBM man. ICL or perhaps Armdal (don't know if that is spelt correctly)

    So what did you program(me) in, Me 6502 assembler, COBOL, and APAB (if you were a =n SAP person? + BBC Basic and APL.
