Pugwash

Er, buying a replica is illegal where I am.

Are these expensive?

That's the story of my life.

Well, today I'm wearing this beauty that's not been in rotation for a while.

Keep the DRSD and sell me the great white parts.

where?

Welcome on board.

I'd use a transparent dial. ps. No, I'm not a pro.

Very nice!

As much as I love my job, and I do enjoy it, I realised I was fed up of working for someone else. After seeing the amount of money I personally made our company's shareholders, I decided I'd had enough. I'm moving back to Scotland in 3 months where I'll have no job, a new house and a million opportunities.

... and at that price, that's a lot of ugly for the money.

Selling replicas is already illegal. Would you go to the police if you paid too much for cocaine, for instance?

Wow, a ScamWatch? I'd really like to see some photos. I presume you realise now that there is no such thing as an Italian Replica ...

ok, I don't have the book, so let's look at the examples as quoted by Amazon ... The infamous 1994 hot coffee lawsuit? This would be the 1992 Liebeck v. McDonald's case, I presume. It has no relevance here as there were already warnings on the coffee cups. Strawman. Oh, and don't get me started on the public perception of the Stella Liebeck case. Hot pies? Yes, sugar can get way hotter than you'd expect - this is a valid warning. Fireworks? Yes, don't put them in your mouth as the ingredients can be toxic. Don't read too much into the warnings, as they don't mean don't put in your mouth when lit. Duh. Beach Ball? Don't throw one to a drowning person as it'll just tire them out trying to get purchase. Bubble Bath? Yes, keep out of the reach of kids as you don't want them drinking it. Another duh. Software? The nuclear facility warning is standard across all software. No, really. Look at any piece of software. It makes sense. Mouse? The SGI manuals had several humorous parts just to stop people from getting bored. Gold Dial? I fail to see how this is unusual. As you can see, it's a [censored] book that merely tries to be funny.

That is neither news nor proof. Try again.

Sorry, I don't believe these are all real warnings. I need more than a funny email to show me that these are all genuine warnings. If anyone can find the actual news item of a kid's parents suing a costume company cos their kid died trying to fly, I'll eat my hat.

We all do it.

Like this?

...it's not perfect, as images still need clicking on.

Today I'm PC/Firefox, but I'm usually on a Mac, yes. Great minds think alike, mate.

I said I hadn't done it, not that I didn't know how. Use this: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Here's Microsoft's info on USB Booting: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/usb-boot.mspx

Sure, but not with Windows.

Funny, neither of us bought the PO we said we preferred. Black wins.

The beer one.

Try this ... Boot with the install CD in and hold C down. This will boot the Mac from the CD. Then, install OS9 onto the flash drive. If this doesn't work (FAT32 not HFS+), you couldn't boot anyway. If it does work, you use ALT to select the boot device during power-up.
