Yeah dude!! And I have to fix that God Damned Sewing Machine!
"The sewing machine isn't working again!"
That reminds me, I should really try and fix the food mixer that I took
apart last night :-) (there's a big ol' crack in the internal frame, but it
wouldn't hurt to try some JB-weld before stripping it for useful bits and
tossing the rest)
I get away with quite a bit, actually. She did refuse
to let me ship
my PDP 11 over here
Where's 'here'? (and where was 'there'?)
Really, what the // lacks at the moment is a monitor.
It has no RF
adapter. I'd have to rig something up. I gave my last VCR away, so I
can't use that as a composite adapter anymore. Hmmm...
Composite->RF adapters used to be plentiful a couple of years or so ago for
connecting up games consoles and the like to older TVs; I'm sure there are
lots lurking still as people have upgraded their TVs. Maybe try freecycle etc.
Of course finding a TV that has composite inputs built-in might be a
possibility, too?
