    Maybe you should try a career as a bin man.

    Duties include: Scavenging through commercial rubbish bins and skips .I know Scavenging through commercial rubbish bins isn't as glamorous as being an internet troll but don't worry you could always get an education

    Apparantly there is an issue with the mrs and all these blue electric boxes suddenly appearing on top the sideboard.


    I tried the "but honey ...!"

    Sheesh ! we never get a break !

    I tried the "the AIMs alone sell for 5k each" then she glazed and I knew I was lost ! Polished MDF is more important !

    Right ! Heels digging in ... don't fail me now !
    don't worry about the mother in law being freshly de-hooved and warts filed right the way down....

    be strong... be strong !

    /sigh

    I'll take the rest of the find off your hands. I know how it is with the wife on your back so I wouldn't want you to have to suffer through that icon_wink.gif

    I can take care of them for you.

    My Mrs (although she doesn't live with me) says that she loves my habit for odd boxes that appear ;)

    Yep, I'd hate to see a man suffer with the nagging a wife can put on.

    (no offense to the ladies on the board)

    Trash picking - that's how I filled my lab with test workstations. Having to go into the shop at 3AM to fix a server issue has some perks - the neighbors don't see you taking the computer they set out for the trash truck. Although the last time, I really should have left the AS400 on the curb - my back is killing me.

    :)

    My wife gives me heck about my lab all the time, so I feel for you. But she only worries about the stuff I buy, not what I get for free.

    Recent upgrade to my home lab - I now have two 3550's. I was going to brag about the good deal I got, but it's hard to top FREE stuff.

    I guess you have to live in the UK to find that kind of gear in the company dumpster. Where I work, we ship the gear out to our warehouse where it sits just in case we ever need it. I think we'll be throwing away our old Cisco fasthubs in 2010.

    Why do the hooligans have all the luck??

    i} If you are a clever, forward thinking lad, you will befreind the deliveries in/out guy. They are the ones who send the arsenic infected nasty electronic card infested boxes to the special disposal place [ who are normally draped in gold with all the free kit they get sent for "disposal" !

    ii} Hooligan ? .. wtf Hooligan ?

    I am just a man who has suddenly realised, he is very short of power cables and power sockets.....

    Sorry about the hooligan comment. I have no idea what that means to y'all overseas. To me, it just means sports fan. But I am very jealous that I can't find good free gear here in the USA.

    Well said!

    And I will gladly pay for the overseas shipping if his wife makes him get rid of them!
