Sorry songbird, I haven't seen him round for ages. But then just the
other day I was wondering where you'd gone as I thought you'd been
missing for some time.

my ancient recycled computer froze up and
i had to get a replacement motherboard (which
is also used so i don't have much confidence
it will last all that long either). as i'm
not doing anything critical i didn't keep an
up-to-date spare around.

i made Ma very happy by using this break
and the rainy days as a way to get rid of half
a closet full of old computers/computer parts
and old/broken electronics i was keeping just
in case i needed a part for something...
five computer boxes was a bit too many. the
guy who did the motherboard replacement is also
a recycling drop off point which worked out
very nicely. it is always an exercise in
nostalgia. boxes of paperwork yet to wade
through (the worms will be well fed ).


Billy used to bait Frank in some other newsgroup so Frank may be able to
say if he's still around.

i just don't have the stomach to look in some
of those groups after i took a peek a few months
ago.
