Saved it from being dumptered at the last AUSOM meeting, it's in GWO too, which is good.
Pretty much a stock config. 28 megs of RAM though.
Big question is, do I duplicate the specs as on my pride and joy, or leave it as is?
Or, is there anyone in Melbourne that would be willing to do a swap for something? You'd have to collect from Frankston, though.
Funny thing happened while I was working on it early hours one morning, the beast had been sitting on the floor and I moved everything to the kitchen bench, I was untangling the mouse cable, and accidentally pulled the keyboard off the bench…
Here's the funny part, I suppose most of you would would know about wearing apropriate safety gear when in a work area, this includes footwear. It's one of the Golden Rule things you learn about when entering a workshop anywhere.
I had bare feet.
Anyway, the corner of the extended keyboard collected the two outer toes on my right foot.
I was able to walk for about 15 minutes after that before the pain became too severe, and it dawned in my damaged little mind that I might have broken something. The keyboard came away intact, my toe however…
I managed to hobble to bed and spent a few sleepless hours there, before alerting the parents to the fact that I'd done myself an injury.
Toe was swolen and purple.
Popular consensus was it was broken.
Finally made it down to the local doctor place, then off to have an X-Ray, which was fun in itself, the high point of that was spending 40 minutes in a wheelchair, before it was my turn to have part of my body irradiated. I had a cute asian lady do the X-Rays, this involved some manipulation of my foot, and a fair bit of pain. To her credit, the lady was very gentle, but I swear, if it had of gone on much longer, I would have proposed to the girl. The mind works strangely when I'm in severe pain and sleep deprived.
The X-Rays showed no breaks, but it was the Doctor's opinion that I'd likely bruised the bone.
The moral of this story is, Wear footwear when working on gear.
So, the P580CD…
Do I leave it as is :?:
Upgrade it to match the Specs of my other P580CD :?:
Or will someone on here, who is willing to collect from Frankston, swap something for it :?:
