Maplin
From a Maplins catalogue.
Adata USB 3.0 Flash Drive.-Futureproof yourself and remain backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
With sentences like that is it any wonder we laugh at "computer geeks"?
Unfortunately when Land Rover bring out the new Defender nodoubt we will be able to "futureproof ourselves" but we may not be "backwards compatible" with older models.
I don't know what any of the above means either. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali
2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu
2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai

As I don't understand any of the above I will throw this into the mix.

"All men dream:but not equally.Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity:but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,for they may act their dream with open eyes,to make it possible"
T.E.Lawrence-Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
