IoA Talk - Exchanging Information 3

Information Available on the Net - contd.

Indirectly Relevant Material
Quite often you obtain the address of a customer/complainant but no directions; there are sites which will provide a map from the postcode.  These can be tested out for say Acoustic and Engineering Consultants Ltd @ SK6 8AB.  The only online route plotting for the UK appears to be via an American site - its route from Ove Arup, Manchester to St. Helens MBC can be viewed.

Soon UK aerial photographs will be available from www.getmapping.com with a resolution of 25cm!!. Digital maps are available on-line (at a cost) from Ordnance Survey and "real" maps from Elstead Maps.

You can find acoustics jobs online at the IoA's site or the INCE's site in the USA. Replica Vacheron Constantin

Because it is easy and cheap and quick to set up a website, or post a message in a newsgroup people can take less care over it than if "hard copies" are being produced.  Even if you are sure about the identity of the "northern physics lecturer" you must ask was he paying attention when he wrote the information; as he said when challenged "Free advice is worth every penny paid for it - Ooops Sorry." (that advice includes this site) Replica Chopard Watches
