Informer is not usually one to moan - but at an event recently a senior figure from a well known software vendor made an interesting observation about members of the fairer sex.  Apparently housewives more than ever know the virtues of buying GPRS style devices for their children because once they have dropped the kids off from school, they go straight to the supermarket and log on to check where their children are.

"Because that is what housewives do - shopping," said the exec. After the cleaning, washing and ironing, obviously.

Thanks to a recent installation by distributor Zycomm, staff at amusement park Alton Towers can now enjoy effective communication using handheld radios - which means they can talk to each other from one end of the park to the other. Hopefully the staff have improved their communication skills since the last time Channel Informer visited (admittedly about nine years ago) - the odd grunt and bored glance in response to a question of 'should children that age be allowed on this ride' hardly filled one with confidence.
