@markmccaughrean Ouch!

Although, to be fair, this was a 'special circumstance'... Didn't the newsletter have an editor to catch and question the tone?

@markmccaughrean I was on a site visit to GPT Beeston (Nottingham), helping them use our software.

Someone called out "The shuttles just exploded!" and a mad scramble began to get more details. Of course, there were no 24-hour news channels in those days, nor any TVs to pick up Ceefax, but eventually someone managed to connect up to Prestel for a report.

Not a lot of work got done after that...
