Want to swap? I HATE summer. My shop is not airconditioned and
I can't take computers apart while I'm dripping on to the boards.
I really like cold weather. Mind you, it never gets below 0C here,
except maybe a couple below during the mid winter nights.
Merry Christmas All
It's after 7:30pm Xmas Eve, and it's 36C.
Seeya
If it wasn't for Christmas, I'll hate you for teasing us
with this ridicoulus temperatures while we have -3C :) Anyway, Fr?hliche Weihnacht to all of you.
And to you all. It's 9pm on Christmas Day, we had a cool
southerly change, and the temp is now a very comfortable
22C or so. But it's still 30+ in the shop. Gonna have to get
some exhaust fans or an evaporative cooler at least......
We had Xmas Dinner outside around the BBQ, but it was
a bit warm even there.

Aaargh the pain.
A gent I've just traded with to obtain a boxed SYM-1 casually mentions to
me...
"Ah, I'm going to miss that little board. My one regret is never having
fired up
those ancient circuits to awaken the dormant genius within. Thankfully, I
still
have the Apple-I board that Steve Woz gave me way back when. I spent a bit
of
time shaking it out with him a million years ago, so at least I know that it
once worked and might still. "
Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Naturally I'm throwing everything I have, daughter included, as traid bait
;)
