Second shipment - rusty, scored, greasy rotors, not described. The closer pair were cleaned up using spray brake parts cleaner and a rag. The left one of the upper pair, first shipment, show evidence of a half-hour's work with brake parts cleaning fluid and a Scotch scrubber pad.

They strung me along with empty promises until the dispute period expired, then ignored my pleas. More fool me, but that makes them thieves, doesn't it?

(Someone asked for an update: It's been two years or more. The point was: Even such high-volume and highly-regarded sellers can be rats from time to time. If they have something you want, at a price you like, it will probably be a problem-free transaction, but don't be surprised if there is something wrong, and do your objection and claims routines early. Don't let them run out the dispute period, as I did.

Matter of fact, I have something coming from them tomorrow (03 June 2009). We'll see how it develops ...)

(A week later: This one was perfect: excellent price, careful packing, timely delivery of an item that is exactly as advertised. I guess every one is a gamble; win a couple, lose a couple.)

Stress balls and hard drive disks.

Some old hard disk I had with me. This one is maxtor 10GB..finally I Found the star-screwdriver that can open this thing.. :)

Location: Liverpool Street, London, England

Preparing for a move I took time to discard a lot of old things we don't use anymore. 3.5 inch floppy disks were part of the lot. I just saved these. Maybe to be able to tell my grand-children that I was there! ;-)

Verse

"Remember your Creator in the days of your youth."

(Ecclesiastes 12:1)

Explanation

The disk only has energy to spin for a small amount of time.

Remember to follow God and use your time wisely while you have energy.

Pen holders are useful, and for the first time in almost 10 years floppy disks are too.

This version is made using glue to stick 5 disks together. Another version on Instructables uses a drill and cable ties.

The first production model, only approx. 50 have been sold, but the quality was very low and most of the cars have been buyed back by the factory. The construction was very progressive, but the production too hasty and mayn flaws have emerged soon. The workers had a popular saying: "DISK nám sežral zisk" (DISK ate away our profit).

500 MB IDE drive platters from an old Compaq server.

Whilst recycling an old Compaq server, I thought some of the parts needed to be recorded in history. This is one of the pictures.
