The iPlate
« on: July 20, 2008, 10:03:28 PM »

Hey everyone I've been away for a while due to some well lets just say "Social Disputes". I kept a RSS feed on this site so nothing was lost. Anyways I descovered a a new Device from BT built to improve phone lines  :( called the iPlate I know it sounds like a device from apple but have a look.

If I read it properly it says it adds interference to the ADSL Signal  ???  :-X

Yes, the iPlate is basically a filter on the ring wire, so it stops the ring wire from introducing interference into the ADSL signal. It has the same effect as disconnecting the ring wire, but without disconnecting it.

I think I'll pass, I've survived all this time without it, so I don't really need to know.

RSS feeds send you notifications (similar to emails) when a page has been updated with new information.
Such as BBC news etc.

Each individual page can have a separate feed, so the link above is for Kitz main page showing new or/and updated information for all the pages/posts.

However, if this is not what you want you could just select a feed for a specific page, for argument sake the Windows page, so you would be notified of any new content only to that section of the forum, but not to any of the other sections.

To receive updates a small program (of which there are quite a few) is required.
Personally I use a program called "FeedReader 3"

To download or see more info:
