If he agrees, get a 50% deposit, hand over the new shiny one and say 'And you thought I couldn't fix it'.<br /><br />Don't take any cheques and make sure that the dignitary is correctly placed on any notes they hand over.<br /><br />Might have to organize a burger breakfast in the coming month.<br />Stay tuned at Morgana's site.<br />Oh, and I'm on twitter now if anyone wants to negotiate the cyclone wire I've set up around my account.

Today he's going to hook up an ext monitor (if the socket still works) and see how far it goes. If he hasn't got time, I'll do it at home.
