Waiting for it to be downloaded as service pack, before i attempt to do a clean installation of this upgrade. quite curious as have read articles with different opinion, some positive and some mentioning it's not worth looking at.

You update from windows store, nothing gets affected. Atleast for me, I did it yesterday and my PC looks all the same without even affecting my files on the desktop.

Well, if you use only desktop mode, nothing you can notice other than a windows start button which as expected will take you to the windows 8 screen. Unless one have RT version windows 8 screen changes are superficial to one.

Could you please restrain it, to prevent it going to other countries?

Also on the topic of music on trains...
I normally carry around a pair of over-priced Bose headphones but rarely put them on. But on the packed train this morning some Bohemian looking type started 'sodcasting' next to me, so I put them on and was escorted to Cannon Street to the sound of Music Box Opera by Delerium - a truly excellent album if you like it. I think I've been missing out.
Music used to be my life and now I hardly listen to it - the metamorphosis of age perhaps. But my conclusion is that we should all listen more. I demand it.
No boy bands however.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Hi Rob, I'm the same I've been playing guitar for forty years but hardly pick it up now, I've got approximately 2000 CD's which I've digitised to flac format so I can stream them through my hi-fi but I don't very often ( took me a couple of years spare time to rip them ) Ah well.

I envy some here, I have the musical talent of a door knob, I enjoy listening but creating/playing is not a talent I have.
I do the headphone thing at lunch, scoff my stinky cheese sandwiches to the sound of 80s rock music. Some of the children (under 30s) have trouble dealing with the old fart toe tapping away in the corner.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

So someone on your train had loud music blasting out of their headphones, and you countered by blasting yet more loud music out of your headphones?
I bet the other people on your carriage were happy!

Absolutely not! These headphones are noise cancelling and my music was inaudible outside the confines of my head.

Delerium in general or just that album?

I stopped listening to Delerium after their "Semantic Space" album; I drifter towards more experimental and ambient electronic music.
I got into them from "Front Line Assembly"; at that point Delerium was a lot more "dark" and "sombre" than the releases after Delerium (IMO).

Yes, they get criticised a lot for moving more 'mainstream', although most people seem to think they peaked at Karma. For me, I actually prefer their more recent efforts finding some of the early stuff a little inaccessible. Have you listened to any Balligomingo? Although that may be too much like modern Delerium.
I've heard a bit of Front Line Assembly - good but different. In fact it's hard to believe it's the same talent!

Rob Philpott.

I have trained myself to enjoy various rhythms generated by making "Tsss, tsss, tsss" noises between my teeth. This way I can now travel on busses and trains in perfect contentment with the background "music".

So for the last year and a half I've finding myself with a ridiculously amount of traveling time upon my hands, at least an hour in each direction. I've tried listening to audio books, podcasts and "How to Learn Spanish" in order to atleast make the travel time worth while, the audio books, specifically the Brain Tracy stuff (my recent man crush), is actually quite good and motivating.
However I have found another free source of education, in which I can easily mix together in playlists to help learn and improve, my developer mixtapes are now on YouTube. I started them this week so they're slowly progressing but I'm very impressed with the amount of material on YouTube, some of it is absolutely crap however there are one or two gems out there.
