This photo is great because it shows you using your own stuff:
  1. PSU
  2. 32 Mhz booster
  3. TOS switcher
  4. Axial cap replacement kit
  5. Diag cart in the background
  6. SIMMs
  7. 1.44Mb FDD adapter
  8. @ube 's 555 widget
  9. ST Mongrel mug, though I think this is pushing it a bit!
And why wouldn't you, it's all great quality, and why I recommend your stuff :thumbup:

The untidy desk has advantages then! :lol: :dualthumbup:

You forgot simms ;)

The Easter egg I guess is the mug in the top left, but that's cut off :(
