The basic kit includes a laptop or netbook. Yours seems to have wandered off somewhere.

I really hope the ending is that we find out parkrun's netbook.

Does this have 'moonlight flit' written all over it?

I realise this thread is over two years old, but has anyone achieved using a mac for downloading and processing parkrun results? After much fiddling i can get both stopwatch and scanner to download to the mac, but the data formats are not what the result processing software is expecting. I do have the parkrun laptop, but it is slow and clunky and I'd rather use my featherweight MacBook air if I can... |

I did so in the very early days of my tenure - I had to do a bit of fiddling round with the format you’ve mentioned - probably a mix of Excel and Notepad. Soon after we got a parkrun laptop.

If it helps, I can dig out a sample of the right format (although might not be for a few days)

Thanks - I was hoping to avoid the fiddling - by the time I've done that the laptop would have surged into life In the olden days I would have broken out the java and written something.... but too lazy now.
