[HPFGU-Catalogue] Slow connection

[Barry Arrowsmith]

Sure, OK, give it a try.

Yes, I did attempt to enter with an inappropriate name (trust me to get 
it wrong) but the attempts I made before that (about 5, I  think) it 
never even got to the  password drop-down. All I had was a totally 
blank page.

Dunno  why, but  this  sort of thing has been happening to me ever 
since I can remember. For some reason any glitch in a system lies in 
wait until Arrowsmith, fat and happy, tries doing something that others 
have no difficulty with at all, particularly with computer systems. In 
govt. depts. I'm the one whose records have got screwed up or lost or 
deleted. It's depressing.
Once I  damn near killed a patient because a computer did something 
that was 'impossible'. It switched parameters on a blood gases machine 
print-out. I  won''t give the  whole horror story, but if it hadn't  
been for my total mistrust  of technology due  to past experiences, I 
probably wouldn't  have got suspicious and cross-checked on another 
piece  of equipment.

Anyway, I'll try logging on later this evening.
A triumph of hope over experience.
