90663 2002-10-18 23:49:00 As for me, if I save hard enough, a DVD writer, so I can rescue my Family Video tapes before they wear out/jam in the video. Also edit out the rubbish (inappropiate sounds - kids throwing up - oh yeah, I have it all) and make a watchable film.

Next....

Looks great fun though - wonder what the neighbours will think about the metal-work ?

90671 2002-10-19 01:35:00 Selling recent laptop, waiting for a trip to overseas so can upgrade to a cheaper P4 ultraportable thinkpad.

Desktop does everything I want right now. Perhaps a descent digital camera. Cellphone needs to stabalise first. It needs more than a pretty screen and a crappy camera. Palm is too limited and no .. not another device in the pocket. Basically I'm streamlining.

90672 2002-10-19 02:00:00 Tweak'e - I got a dynalink tool (like a dremel) for $100 from mitre 10 with way more accessories. Dick Smith have two, but one isn't variable speed and really crappy. One is $107 and one is $84.
