LETTER : Mega tingle
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HARRY Enfield ``Just Michael and me in the radio car'' (19 February) is over-reaching in his attempts to display mastery of computer technology. The "strange tingle of excitement" he felt after he had babbled excitedly about "a sixty megabyte internal memory" was caused by a small internal voice warning him that he was going to make a fool of himself.
He is also misrepresenting his loss to his insurance company. As certain as is the cycle of seasons, a computer with "comparable RAMage and Megabytage" and presumably processor power is less expensive than it was when he bought it 11 months ago.
