Miscellany: Week Beginning ... September 26

Post by An Tarbh Dubh »

Another week, another repair: this time it's memory on my "workstation" PC. So I'm working with reduced memory until replacement arrives, hopefully tomorrow. I guess I should be looking for server-grade memory since this workstation does run 24/7.

That sounds like fun. What you need is a Maplins in your nearest town. They have/had special offers on memory when I called in to the Hereford branch, a fortnight back.

A Maplins special offer, is when it reduces the price from its usual extortionate rate, to the price everybody else charges. :)

Actually we do have Maplins ... they're in Limerick, and Galway, as well as Cork and Dublin. I visit them fairly regularly, as you say sometimes the offers can be quite good! But I generally get my memory from http://www.shop4memory.com ... I've found them very good. They're Irish based, prices are good, and usually orders sent by regular post (at no cost) arrive next day.

Another week-end, another rally - this time a two-day International based in Cork, so 3Wells is with me! All very quiet so far ...

p.s. The "edit" button "disappears" after a short while (I think I have it set for 10 minutes); this is to allow corrections but to stop abuse such as had become rather too common "elsewhere". But since all currently here are "responsible", I'll work out how to re-enable editing for such people.

That name rings a dim and distant bell. I think I may have mail ordered stuff from them.

I use mail order a lot. As a rule I'd sooner support small independent traders (wherever they are) than the larger chain-stores

Hope you had a fun rally.

Will.
