eeeiii!


what are those Ru'id things do'n in my Shopping Basket!???

i had it worked out that cables were a really nifty objects with
nested "plugs" and that checked if they would mate with whatever which
was also a "plug" and all like that...  it would have worked too,
there are air flow calculations and heat dissipation factors, not to
mention assembly options and lots of real value to be added imho

and my favorite scenario repeated I don't know how many times, was the
PC tech at a bench in Island reporting a cpu/mem glitch that manifests
as something that needs to be tweaked in BIOS (or some such stuff that
occupies these guys) would automatically show up to some guy in S.
Africa years later with the same computer fingerprint.  that seemed
pretty exciting to me.  One "Ruid" filled out on a handy could do
that....

then there are aquariums, and kayaks, and other artifacts of male
passion...

(and I love kayaks too - I and I know a real world class designer in
this domain - the one's that go on expeditions - i'm into "skin on
frame" myself - that's how they started you know.)
