Hey! I'm back!

Two days ago I got a flyer from the council announcing a Community
Bulky Items Collection for things which won't fit in a wheelie bin,
including furniture, white goods (fridges and cookers), electrical
goods, beds and mattresses, etc,etc,...  so I went on the prowl.

Success! 7 streets away someone threw out an old PC: 17" monitor,
75MHz Pentium, 128MB ram, 4G disk. After two trips and with some very
sore arms (ever carried a 17" monitor 800 yards?), the removal of a
few virus/trojan jobbies, re-installation of Windows along with my old
network card, speakers and mouse, it works!! YEAH! Better off in my
flat being used than a land fill, I say )
