2004-12-30 Dell P4 Parts

Dell Pentium 4 1.8GHz PC stripped except for case, power supply, CPU, heatsink. As we were roving happily sans transport and tools at the time we just took the cpu and heatsink. Update: CPU is now deployed to fix a friend's machine that had somehow developed a bad CPU. Heatsink is a paperweight.

2004-12-24 Mac CDs

Two sets of Mac OS 10.3.3 install plus software restore plus extra software CDs for iBook G4s. These are unopened and in super condition, pic shows one ready for its appearance on ebay, there are usually a few .

Dell 20 inch CRT. Gentleman discarding it admitted he got a flatscreen for xmas. I suspect there will be substantial pickings next week.

2004-12-18 P3

A Micron 733MHz with 128M RAM and a 20G disk. Full working order except that that the memory was in slot number 2. After moving it to slot number 0 the thing booted. Added ethernet (to avoid use of crappy on board ethernet) and modem for export, re-installed and updated and everybody is happy. I hate windows. This will find a home with some grateful punte.

2004-12-18 Mountain Bike

A "Rock Grinder" mountain bike. One pedal has broken frame, must have been that grinding on rocks. Otherwise everything is present and correct. We rode it around a bit before putting it in storage for sale next year.

2004-12-18 Cast iron pan

A cast iron pan with corrugated base. Pic shows it with our partially cooked roast lamb in it after a good clean and high temperature re-curing. It did not come with the lamb of course, we bought that and put it in after cleaning.

2004-12-10 Fruity

A stupid ersatz slot machine that is very annoying. This may be donated to a household we wish to annoy.

2004-12-10 Calphalon Pan

While we are not really on the subject here is Calphalon 4 quart sauce pan that we picked up a while ago. Somebody had burnt some food on the bottom, so we cleaned it off and Bob's your uncle, a rather nice addition to the kitchen.
