Al, Kerry should have the parts soon. PM incoming... Kerry, You should have the parts soon. I've got a 40lb or so box with your name on it and and email that will be sent shortly. N

Rest up Reks, having been through 4 surgeries on lower extremities I can relate. Me, I finished up Xmas shopping in surprisingly light holiday traffic. Going to bake some cookies with Lily later on and I'll bear in mind my salted friend's lesson of the day.

I hope they are at least sending her to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison and not some cupcake resort/hotel BS.

Holy shit, Tyll is like half the man he used to be!

You might check with Asr to see if he still has his which I think was listed FS here last week (or so).

You = wrong The 421a is just a 5998, the only difference that some have found is that the 421a may have been the pick of the litter of 5998s, i.e. less likely to be noisy or microphonic. But from a structural perspective they are built the same as far as I know.

Speaking of snow I spent the afternoon (so far) taking the mower off of the tractor and installing the snow blower and tire chains.

I miss Stretch.

CJ, (or anyone else for that matter) You might shoot en480c4 a message, last I knew he had ordered a similar Ipad case for a Xmas gift and then found out that the folks who were going to buy the iPad as the primary gift bailed, leaving him with a very nice case to do nothing with.

N*O*I*C*E!!!

Not true in New England, at least the pay part. Job security in a school system is tough these days, public or private, around here they're all hurting and cutting positions.

I looked at a few g-shock models the other day, none of them spoke to me enough to buy one. I'm not saying I won't end up there, but I just want to explore options if they exist.

Ok watch folks, my dad has tasked me with finding him a new digital watch. His want-list goes like this, "You know, not a $5 Timex". Otherwise I've been given nothing. I've added that it should be something that wouldn't look completely awkward on a 60+ year old guy which precludes a lot of the available affordable ($100ish) options so I'm looking for help.

I wonder why they won't support it, as far as I know you can reformat them and leave off 99% of the alienware software (to control the lights and junk) and it'll run like any other laptop. Actually, it'll run quite a bit better since it has real hardware under the hood and not just a bunch of chips soldered to a motherboard all sharing RAM.

Mike, If you want modded HF1s let me know...

Jacob - shit, that about covers it.

Sad news, Steve, I'm glad you got 92 years with him.

Anyone have any good 68uF/600ish PS caps laying around? I'd be happy to offer two nice motor-run film caps in exchange since I finally worked out today that I'm simply not going to be able to do everything that I'd hoped to do with a particular project. If no one has any suggestions are welcome.

My team is deciding to finish strong, despite it not meaning a damn thing.

Worked on a clock for my office, pics to follow after the poly dries.

Sony is pretty much it unless you can find a modded one.

I also need to order a few resistors, if I can get my act together...

It also may be true that in order to get a laptop to do dual monitor support it has to be used with a dock. My M17 has several output options but I don't know if they can be used simultaneously despite having two video cards.

I can help with the dxf if you can wait a few days.

Have a look at alienware, if you can get past some of the bling they are well built IME.
