Title: speed tests
Post by: curly on Jun 10, 2010, 06:40:59
For some time I have been using the speed test that Technical Ben uses in his signature . I like it because I can waste a lot of time playing with it.
Recently it disappeared from my bookmarks after one of those automatic upgrades, and searches have not been successful. Could some kind person post the address for me?

Dorset Boy - your name reminds of the years I spent in AUWE Portland.

Glad we could help DorsetBoy. Also funny that my signature is noticed. I'm not called "technical" for nothing... well, I have no qualifications, but that does not stop me!  :whistle:
Great pictures too. Did you take them? May I use them as reference for art? I'm still to finish my current prodjects, but always looking for new ones.  :red:

Thanks for posting those photos - excellent! Really brings back the memories. The Portland area must be full of good photo ops - quarries,Chesil Beach, and the Portland Race.
