DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

I could...... if I had the image to blow onto it. The annoying thing is that I contacted the company that made the boot ROM board (still in business) only to get an email from the guy that designed the board and wrote the software telling me he'd put all his old PDP11 stuff in the skip nine months earlier when he'd moved offices.

Isn't the term'blow' with an EPROM blower?
