Digital BW, The Print

When I moved house four months ago (a distance of about 40 miles), I 
just placed the 1160 & CIS bottles (in rack) side by side on a board, 
and put this in the back seat of the car. Everything worked fine when 
I got to the other end.

The wife and kids? Oh, they were fine in the back of the furniture 
van ... Well, I had the monitor on the front seat :))
