works

Microsoft Works was a productivity software suite developed by Microsoft and sold from 1987 to 2009. Its core functionality included a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database management system. Later versions had a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases included a terminal emulator. Works was available as a standalone program, and as part of a namesake home productivity suite. Because of its low cost ($40 retail, or as low as $2 OEM), companies frequently pre-installed Works on their low-cost machines. Works was smaller, less expensive, and had fewer features than Microsoft Office and other major office suites available at the time.

    UFH works only in one circuit

    Hello, In my house I have UFH on the ground floor. It works in a very strange way. I am sure that it never heats up well because I have never had warm floor(I set 21 degree, that's low but I should feel it at least), but I also see some issues. All 6 circuits are for the same room and I do...

    Anyone ever change works of gate valves?

    If so, how often do you find your replacement is compatible with the original? Are there different brands that vary enough that having one of a each/a few raises chances of success a lot? If so which ones? Cheers

    A Fluidmaster fill valve works well on gravity fed?

    The standard ones bundled in a pack with the flush valve from the sheds/screwstation/toolfix don't perform well on gravity fed in my experience. I've heard one of the 'pro' version has a restrictor you can remove to make it work better? If so :- 1) Which valve is this? 2) Does it perform well...

    Hi guys. This job is near reading. It is to do a couple of bathrooms, move boiler, move tanks in loft higher and put cylinder in loft. Possibly put in an unvented cylinder as mains pressure and flow off the chart. A bit too far for me but it is for my wife's friend.
