C64 Power Supply Replacement Options

As you have made this public, I feel I should put my side of events to te best of my recollection. I pointed out at the tiem that due to the UK laws, it would be _illegal_ for me to accept payment, If I did, I would be deemed to be running a businsss and my workshop would have to comply with all sorts of H&S requirements. Given the amount of money I could make doing it, it would npt be worth my while to do this. I seem to rememebr you then offered ot give me soem fairly modern PC becuase you felt I needed it. This massin, by youtr own admission had problems. WQQuite what I need it for (given that I am happy with what I have) and quite why you thoguth I needed another macgine to fix, given that I already have enough _intereting_ repair jobs to last several lifetimes, is actually beyond me. But anyway. The last straw, IIRC, was that you were annoyed that I wasn't checking my e-mail all the time and wasn't peepared to drop everything to fix your machine when you wanted it done. Quite simply, if you want a job done 'on the cheap' (as this most certainly was, you try finding anoyone else who would do it...), it's done at my convenience. Before that message I would have been prepared to make an appointment (which, I may ad I would haev kept), pack up my toolkit and got o nteh bus to visit you and fix your machines for free. But the attitude in that message was of the form that I was ytur servant and that you were doing me a favour, neither of which I agreed with. My comments, which still stand, are that you do things where being able ot solder would be a great advantage (unlike me and driving, say, since I can't think of a time when I need to drive) and I am convinced you are capable of learning to solder. -tony
