[i]Morning.

I could have sworn Steve Austin had his hearing augmented. Very long time since I saw the series, though.

Evening all ...

@pb ... no ear enhancement ... "His right arm, both legs and the left eye are replaced with "bionic" implants that enhance his strength, speed and vision far above human norms"....

Mrs DL has decided that her mother needs a Kindle! So, today a Kindle Paperwhite was purchased ... it's then left to me to do the 'dirty work' ie set it up, use my amazon account and buy books and what for the results! Doesn't seem to be that easy ...[/i]

Pretty easy from an iPad/Android tablet, it pushes any book straight to the tablet, so I imagine it's even easier with a Kindle, which comes already set up with your account attached.

I hear Lee Majors had similar issues.

Steve Austin didn't have ear implants and neither did Harvey Lee Yeary ... but I really liked The Virginian.

Morning,

I see my value has risen considerably in a day :)

The new bionic me is taking a bit of getting used to. Itchy ear last night, quick rub and off flies the transmitter side of my bionic hearing. The hearing side beeps the high to low jingle to tell me it has lost connection but it is of no use in helping me find it. The hearing side beeped its low to high jingle in delight after I tracked it down.

I can't say the tones sound all that different to me. Perhaps a scream when connection is lost and a phew when connection is regained would be clearer. There must be an app I can download to play with the settings.

As I was sitting downstairs partaking in a spot of Mario Kart 8 (damn mirror tracks) I was convinced I could hear the bathroom tap on. The kittens can turn the kitchen taps on so it wouldn't surprise me if they had sussed the bathroom one too. But no, tap was off and I'm still not sure what it was. I suspect I was just detecting an underground stream on Mars that the little robot hasn't discovered yet.
