I've often wondered whether a tumble drier using pulsed/phased microwaves would be practical. The heat would be generated by the water in the clothes and resulting steam extracted by a fan. Maybe they already exist? Incidentally, I'm informed that dishwashers do indeed have another purpose, cooking big fish. Ray |

Is it worth it ?? True story, One day I'm sat in my little office typing out helpful insults to various forums and being the founder member of the two fingered typing brigade i was looking at the keyboard and not the screen. Looked up and no words appearing. Stabbed a few more keys, still no words ? Can't have used up a whole months worth of insults by the 11th of the month , surely ? Then realised what had happened. Castor on the chair had caught the keyboard cable in in fits of maniacal giggling at my replies [ yes I know, sad bastard ] it had pulled the plug off inside the keyboard. Soooo grab a phillips screw driver, remove 137 screws from the back of the keyboard and prise the back off. then spent 20 minutes searching for 147 keyspads and 149 springs that shot all over the place. Finally get the plug fitted back in, all springs and keys pads returned. All screws refitted and believe it or not keyboard worked as it should. Looked at the clock and it had taken me 45 minutes. 45 minutes to repair a stinking £4.00 keyboard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What I should have done was throw it straight in the skip and grab a new one out of stock but human mentality says "I'll put this to one side and put the plug on later because it's ONLY a plug " WTF is 45 minutes no matter when you do it v a £4.00 keyboard. |

John If it makes you feel any better, I have done similar things many times and probably will do it a few more times before I kick off. It's just wired into the brain "fix it, don't pitch it". Cheers :beer: Don |
