[newbie] WAY OT - From the And you thought YOU were a newbie dept.
I bought a refurbished TDK cd-burner online and it arrived in the mail today ... Just opened the box to inspect the contents and was amazed to see a new device I'd never seen before ... the Emergency Eject Pin ... that's right, an unwound paperclip! ... Amazing. I wonder how much extra I paid for this incredible bit of technology ... Even more amazing is the fact that it comes in it's own bit of packaging (surprisingly not in the protective packaging that hard drives come in ... ) and wih a complete set of instructions: 1) Insert the eject pin into the emergency pinhole 2) Carefully pull the tray out and remove the CD But wait! How do I get the tray closed again? Hm, could be some money in an Emergency Un-ject Pin ... Now where did I put that old back-scratcher? :^ Adam Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
