    Was I lucky? - I'll find out!

    Wandering round my local computer fair, looking at one of the junk tables, I looked (for no particular reason) at a stack of ex-equipment CD-ROM drives. The name TEAC caught my eye (on the one at the top, actually) - and the number CD-W548E, I thought sounded like a writer - the High speed...

    My first successful Blood Donor (Platelets) session

    What was supposed to be my first was aborted when the machine failed to collect any, no idea why, though they suspect it was a faulty pack. Still, I knew some of what to expect..... And I hope I'm not going to put anyone off who might think of donating in this way. Blood pressure check - 159...

    The speed limit for CD's (bulletproof vest required)

    http://www.paintbug.com/cdexplode/ NB.
