2005-10-30 IBM P3s

Two socket style Pentium 3 IBM PCs in good shape, all complete etc. One with Windows 98 and one with Windows ME. I suspect reason for discard of the pair was that previous owner installed Windows ME on one of the two, saw how much of a complete dog it was, then tossed them both. They both orignally had Windows 98 on them. Brief summary:

• 1x 1GHx, 30G HD, 128M RAM with Windows ME
• 1x 733MHz, 20G HD 128M RAM with Windows 98
• average payload of spyware/anti-spyware junk contibuting to very slow boot times etc.
• some porn jpgs present in cache directories.
• not many google searches cached, mostly mass transit related
• lots of legal docs like wills, codicils etc
• VPN connection software etc all intact.
• No audio or video of any kind.

These are now earmarked for good homes.

2005-10-29 Table nest

A nest of small side tables. Very modern. They seem OK and so will not be just used for their scrap aluminium value, we can find a home for them I think. The black finish is worn through in a few places but that just gives them "patina" as somebody I know would say.

2005-10-29 Random Puters

A HP celeron small case and a Dell Pentium 3 slot 1 PC. Nothing special, one might go for parts to the cyber cafe and the other to a friend. Watch this space for the HD investigation.

2005-10-29 Edging thingy

A bizarre lawn edging device. It looks completely preposterous but must be worth something to somebody, even if just to a collector of weird tools. You ge to cut a swath of grass 6 inches wide with one side or flip it over to use the pizza wheel on the edges.

2005-10-29 Calphalon 12inch

Calphalon 12inch omelet skillet, click here to see it on Amazon. The teflon is very beat up so one of two things is going to occur. Either Calphalon will send me a new one by virture of their warranty thingy or I will figure out how to strip off the remaining teflon and use the thing as an anodized aluminium pan.

2005-10-24 Cat Seat etc

An EvenFlo discovery baby seat with seat base and matching folding stroller thingy for instant mobile offspring deployment. It is in very good condition and surplus to requirements here so we will have to find a home for it somehow.

2005-10-23 Filing cabinet

A medium sized olive drab filing cabinet with a small combination lock box built in. Hidden at the bottom of a drawer was a cheque for 900 USD from many years ago, I bet that caused a ruckus at the time. This cabinet is already pressed into service as a storage device for mac laptops and parts of such, as you can see from the image:
