Finally, given your refreshing write up on the drinking trends and behaviour's of the IBM Hursley population, I feel MUCH less guilty now for sneaking in lto the Dolphin ast Friday to the lunchtime for a 'quicky'. But having seen the place, I'm booking a meal with famly over the Christmas break. Hursley sounds like my kind of location - completely dry at Bedfont and an awkward drive on a Friday for a pie and pint! Happy Christmas. Hello Darren

Could be wrong though...

However, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia says</a> "In 1973, IBM introduced the 3340 'Winchester' disk system (the 30MB + 30 millisecond access time led the project to be named after the Winchester 30-30 rifle)" which I could also believe. Not sure about Dolphin, though it's toothier cousin the <a href="http://websphereadvisor.com/doc/07608" rel="nofollow">Shark</a> was certainly another famous storage product.
