We had to put our feet in blocks of ice instead of shoes so we knew what the rich folks were experiencing! |

You were lucky. We used to dream about ice. We had to fill the bath with salt and water, thrash about for while and then Mum would serve it up as soup for supper. Ahhh, but we were 'appy......... |

Will be back > mid-July if thats ok. :) Same here. I'm in Auckland this coming week then off to Wellington the following. Then two weeks in Asia. Send me an email stan dot low at stagecoach dot co dot nz. I'll place the ram in an envelope with your name to pick up from the reception counter. My office is at the viaduct harbour near the old americas cup bases. Yeah tell me how many 32MB RAM you need. I had a quick look in the box yesterday and I have about 20 or 30 pieces or so of various rams that we stripped from old PCs we chucked out over the years. I'm afraid I don't have the time to organise mailing out RAMs and I don't want my staff to do this when they have plenty of other work to do. |
