Dear Sinisters, I never imagined how complicate it would have been to write a line to step into the list without feeling so dull... Hence please have mercy of me.. steve peet asked <Has anyone ever just thrown away something they have given over a fair <portion of their lives and savings to collecting? ... well this is quite a trouble with me because, in principle, I won't throw anything away. But this was especially traumatic when in the last 3 years I've been able to fill up the space of mine, at job with all the 60-70 styled crap I may have found around, (most of the things was oscilloscope, voltmeter, lamps, lenses, and unknown device units, radio, and God blessed who decided to let it into the trash a laser!!! Yes a real (working) laser....... something like Delia Derbyshhire Studio, but just more messed up , and unfortunately no music getting out from it..). Moreover almost everything was at least half-working but after all I could manage to assemble up a quite fancy_but_smart machinery [...my poor and pure baby! ] with all that, but it's a long long and, I fear, quite boring story.. at the end my boss jumped in the room and sad it was REALLY better to clean up the place. This has been last week, and I fell into a deep depression; outside was raining. I don't mind the rain actually, but It is weeks it's raining every day! Did someone said if anyone wants some anti-depressive tabs/drops (madeleine I guess)? Well, it's me. Would you mind to borrow some? We could make an exchange. Do you feel a tube oscilloscope should be usefulto you, someway? I've kept pieces in a place which is often called as my office (I won't admit it), but, shh..., don't tell anyone!! I fell in love with my fluo-machine.. and I had to kill him... Better to shut up know. I might fall in love with my car but I definitely loved my fluorometer. take care Stefano :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Stefano Centro CNR Biologia Cellulare e Molecolare dell Piante Sez.
