Folks, I've been a QFF member since 1995 and in more recent years, Virgin, then joined Cathay and very recently Etihad and Baltic Air. A change in my client base saw my flights move from being 90% Qantas 10% Virgin to now being 90% Virgin and 10% Qantas. The Etihad and Baltic usually tie into...

Folks, I am doing an office cleanout today and once again find myself with a bewildering array of connectors and cables. I have happily solved the 240V adaptor problem with the purchase some years ago of a Fuji one unit does all. However is the array of connectors that is my bugbear. Several...
