OOK Well Fedup er Fedex must have changed their schedule again, I nearly tripped over it on my way to work. The unit has a pleasingly hefty feel to it. And it sure blows! I was demonstrating it to a co-worker and blew a bunch of papers thumb tacked to the all over. I am pleased so far.PS
Just a note I am sure FF spell check on an older FF works here at home but not 23 on Linux??? It is enabled in settings.🍻

AskWoody PlusWell still did not buy it. Filleted my self a bit making corned beef and cabbage. It was a carrot that did it, a baby carrot.
Thanks for all the feed back.steve that price does look crazy.
wiley I have heard that about ball bearing fans being damaged by compressed air rotating them too fast. I can’t get my head around why that should be but I have seen it often enough to believe it. I must say before I learned of the possibility I failed to noticeably destroy any multiple times :rolleyes:
It has also been said that a dull knife is more dangerous that a sharp knife… well I am wishing that knife was a lot duller ( or maybe sharp enough to not roll of the carrot on to my careless finger.

AskWoody PlusWatched them too, ok w/ a bit of ff. Seeing is believing :o: I still gotta question the long term effects of the caustic detergent and what about vented caps? As the third guy said “if you have nothing to lose..”
I do remember reading about a guy who kept a spare keyboard in his swimming pool. I have just washed keyboards. And then taken them apart to find water where I am convinced it would have been a month later, except in the hot Arizona sun.
I am still coveting that compressor, same day at w***m*** . Oh my another toy, and I am still playing with my cheap, chinese walkytalky……….
And I am watching videos instead of cleaning.

AskWoody PlusMmm and I do have a big a&& floor fan and lots of nooks and crannies it is ulikely to get a good dusting ny other way. I maybe should invest in a dust mask too :rolleyes:
I will order when I get home.
Best to all David

AskWoody PlusThat is an interesting package, if I lived in a house with a nice basement or garage I might jump on it. But as it is I am running out of space with things scattered all about, I am in fact taking the next 3 days off to try to get a bit more organized and clean up my act. The blower is a managible size. I will be using my last can of air this weekend but I am thinking of ordering the blower tommorow. ( I was wondering if I could just wait for a windy day and blow all the dust round my home in the air and let the wind blow it away. (Hey Clint hows that for a red neck solution ?? ) I just resolved a point of confusion on my part: It is FF on my Mint install that does not seem to be spell checking, it is working on my XP box) As for the cost , well maybe I’ll need a part time job after I retire.
Thanks for the feedback, I will let you know the outcome.🍻

AskWoody PlusI think I will pass on the dish washer, the detergent used would be way too caustic and I might want to use the computer the same week. And thank goodness I no longer have to worry about the smoke.
Ah seeing your sig reminds me I want to find just what cpu chipset I put it forementioned box.

AskWoody PlusDecember 15, 2013 at 4:27 pm in reply to: Macrium Reflect Pro v5.2: How to test a system image safely? #1429163I have not been able to boot a VHD w/ W7 BCD but I have got it working in a VM so that should be proof that it works.

AskWoody PlusWell not booting. I did the format with Gparted which leaves a 1 Meg space before the partition, I am thinking that should work as well as the Windows 7 format. I think I went wrong by choosing the PE 4 option when I had WAIK wchich would be ver 3xx. It still wanted to download something. I fear I have mostly confused myself:p
I will redo the proceedure when I have a chunk of time. I see one set of directions reads: copy the contents of ‘c:bootmacrium’ to the root of the USB stick. . I will see if I have anything to copy in that directory and try that. Those directions were for a previous ver of Reflect.
EDIT
Well I sit corrected. The USB HDD did boot, it just took a whole lot longer than I was anticipating. I figured I would give it one more try and went away for a glass of water. It works. Now I just have to put it on a disk that is actually big enough for and image file.
Thanks again for the suggestion.🍻
