I'm stuck at home today, so I've got a bit more time.

I don't like seeing hardware threads fade away without resolution. The engineer in me wants to see problems solved, dammit! ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.

Ah, but it's PC hardware.

The value of the time used almost always exceeds the value of replacement hardware.

Which is a pity.

Yo comprendo

I hate to think of yet another box gathering dust in the closet. Hmmmm...how many do we have now, you ask? I think 4 or 5 (due to obsolescence.)

Charge on, Good Sir Knight!

Ask Beep about old hardware...

... I hear he has an extensive collection of old bits'n'pieces, to his wife's annoyance.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

'Tis an honorable affliction (I must wot)

10+ years ago, the guy I was helping re-do the roof and environs brought along a sleek (Not) but tiny GoldStar microwave. Arcing in the food compartment. (Either run once too often empty, or tinfoil or ...) Lady gave it to him --> moi.

OK, sez I - should be fun to play with..
Sand, prime pecker tracks. [Patience] wait dry thoroughly. 2 coats of close-enough paint, sanded, feathered. Wait. Cup water in: BINGO no sparkee. It has since reheated thousands of cups of tea with nary a twitch.

(And yes - my check-balancing calculator uses green fluorescent Nixies - ever so much sharper than #%&^%# butt-ugly LCDs.)

There's a downside to fix-mania though -- the mentioned closets-full? I mean I mean.. is it better that the Otrona go to the landfill Working?

Why yes.. yes it is. The slothful would never comprehend.
Just because a society is infantilized, survives only via the biz-intended massive waste of both materials and labor -- and is ungrateful for all design work ever done on their lame behalf..?
Nevertheless . . .

We Shall Leave No Stoned Tern Unresuscitated

Now.. just as soon as I rewind an interstage transformer in a '50s Victoreen\ufffd Area Radiation Monitor -- it will be ready for use in the coming attraction, Mothra Eats PNAC HQ ... look for it to appear next, <Shrieking a Warning> by the Jacob's Ladder near the guy with a white lab coat - (with bad lip-sync.)

I said, "Forget the cods, Gill, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon." Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend. She came over to me, she said, "Hey, big boy. You're really a game fish. What's your name?" I said, "Marlin."
