1215305 2011-07-07 02:41:00 Grrr . Was looking for a recipe - why is everything a *&^%* video clip nowdays? Has everyone forgotten how to read???

I keep the recipes if they turn out nice, a video I have to write out and put in the recipe book . or am I doing that all wrong? I should be saving video clips on the Ipad or whatever and watching it in the kitchen .

And here's another example of crap someone forwarded to me . off Winz job site apparently .

Teacher Aide, Special Education
Description: We require a teacher aid for a 6 year old girl who has Cerebral Palsy . She is no verbal but can communicate with someone sign language and her compute .



Maybe they need remedial English themselves .

1215306 2011-07-07 03:10:00 Don't you just super-glue a tablet PC to the fridge? That way you can pull up recipes anytime. When I was installing kitchens, I went to measure up at one place and the woman had thrown away all her cookery books, she just had a touchscreen in the kitchen with all her recipes as PDF's. Saved a lot of space, but i'm not too sure how the sticky finger marks get on with the screen gary67 (56)
1215307 2011-07-07 03:24:00 Video clips are better then written text.

Its a fact of life that as people adopt new ways of doing things then the old ways disappear, Its called progress. There is zero need to cling to the ways of the past.

Sure preserve em for heritage reasons but don't ram it down peoples throats (where have we heard that before).

Hand written text?....pfffft.

Then explain the best option for pctek other than buying a iPad for the kitchen.

Though it won't be long before we all have touchscreens/pc/tv built into the fridge door.

I'm thinking less whining, more cooking .

Video is far and away the superior format .

Nope, and if you can find someone who didn't understand what I was saying due to the use of the incorrect vowel then I'll eat my hat.

Wait, I'll eat a shop full of hats.

That's including the shop.
