Or if you're just going for a single router/modem/wap combo, most of the fritz boxes that look like this have mounting holes on the back so you can hang them off the wall, flat.

Parkside warranty was impressively good when I needed to use it.

They happily replaced the tool by manufacture date alone, which was great when the receipt was long gone.

It's why Bosch's Power4All is a bit frustrating.

Shared batteries...with about 4 manufacturers...and not on the Bosch's professional tools.

Don't get me wrong, I still achieve a lot with my Bosch green tools. And my Flymo ones on the same battery.

But it's a real shame more mfgs weren't involved.

This is why I end up doing so much DIY.

A job that takes a professional half a day could take me a whole weekend.
But having to play "how likely are they to fuck it up, and how much of a pain will it be to fix" drives me up the wall so much, I often just buy the tool and do it myself.

My time to do it: 15 hours, plus £200 in materials.
Cheap tradesman: 8 hours, £450 total, non-zero chance I'll have to rip it out and re-do it myself anyway.
Specialist tradesman : 5 hours, £900-1200 total.

I would also agree.

For digital media, you can tell with a scrub whether the data has been damaged, instantly. And if it has, you can restore from a backup where it hasn't.

If you pick a format that everyone and their mum can support (something MPEG2 and high bitrate in a broadcast grade format), you reduce the risk of people being unable to decode.

As for going digital>analogue for archiving...I'm wincing, and hoping that they at least kept the originals.

In this case, I'm guessing that they had a standard format they wanted everything in.

Great, isn't it?

What unit do they use. Feet.

Or they're used as a bargaining chip by the US.

New cabinet pick for the US on its way, I guess.
