content: Well, just got back from my trip to Dave's (stopped off for some shopping on the way home).Helped Dave with taking a load down to his car and picked up a few odd bits as well as some "useful"stuff. Nabbed 3 SFF computers and bought one thing. I was kinda hoping my offer would be declined as I really didn'tneedanother power supplyYes, I know. I can hear you!but he accepted it - I think, in part, because of the mad dash yesterday. I think all my "guilt points" from that experience are well and truly used up.Pics later - once I have worked out where tohideput all the stuff.

content: Pics:Some stuff:Some scrap:Some stationery:^ ^ ^ ^ ^ These boxes are the ones Dave uses for the BM235 and carry the "No BullS**t Packaging" graphic I did for him. Until today, I never had a physical example of one of my creations being used commercially - which is why I grabbed them.The three boxes to the right are alcohol swabs. There were 4, but I lost one somewhere between the lab and my car. Backtracking my steps did not find it.
