Whew! You gave a little scare there. For a second I thought you were going to say it belonged to former F1 driver Princess Jacques Villeneuve. Has his singing career taken off? Oh the horror, the horror. Joe

I work in IT at the Veterans hospital in Columbia, MO. I'm a Desert Shield/Storm vet myself but it really humbles me to talk to these guys. I was on the elevator the other day with one of the patients and found out that he had been one of the first medics on Omaha Beach. I don't even want to...

I would highly suggest trying 63/37 solder instead of the 60/40 that most people wind up using. It goes directly from solid to liquid without that "plastic" stage and is much easier to work with. Joe

You need to figure out a way to glue some computer hard drive magnets to it. Those things are very strong. Joe

Try having the spring in an F-16 throttle grip go shooting out into the cockpit. The jet is grounded until you find it! Joe

Joe thinks this "demand" may be the beginning of some good entertainment! :bounce: Joe

I vote for the HF Earthquake as well. I had a Craftsman that came with my compressor that wouldn't take the lug nuts off my Subaru (78 ft/lbs). The Earthquake spun the lug nuts off my F150 (150 ft/lbs) without any trouble at all. In fact the nuts spun all the way off before I could even...

I use Dawn to take off what the Fast Orange left behind. Joe

My wife and I worked hard and got out of debt, including our home, several years ago. This past November I came home from work and found her unresponsive on the floor. She had suffered a very large cerebral hemorage at the age of 49. She's doing very good now but probably will never work as...

I've got a set of the black Rhino ramps as well. They've held up fine. Just don't do what I did and drive right over the top! I had to dig out the jack to get the car off the ramp. They still work just fine. Joe

A picture in another post of an SFS screwdriver handle caused me to remember this. I went into an adult "novelty" shop with a friend who was looking for one of those gag inflatable sheep for a bachelor party. While he was tracking down the fake mutton I browsed through the selection of toys...

Shinyness.

That SFS looks like something I saw in an adult "novelty" shop. Joe

Thanks guys. I may just give them a try.

I agree completely. I'm a certified Dell tech but mainly work on the Optiplex models. A blinking amber light is almost always a power supply but could be a mother board. If it's the board you'll often see some capacitors oozing. I'm not sure about the Inspiron systems but Dell usually...
