Rime is anew word for me. Even in English there appear to be many words for cold precipitation
Ours is not to question why ...
Often wake in the early hours and watch some YouTube channels. Robert Murray-Smith was one of the best. Saddened today that he chose to leave us to be with his wife. RIP 1963-2025.

It depends on how far back you go ... Did A level Computer Science 1984-86 and some of it was very good. Not perfect, like having to learn British Standard templating icons for flowcharts, but we also used the control panel on RM Z80s to enter assembly language, which was great fun.
