Zuikerboschfontein

Zuikerboschfontein

There was a derelict farmhouse in a farm in Magaliesberg in South Africa. It was a quirky building that was over 100 years old and it had been left tor scavengers to strip of anything reusable.

No Peel

The "No Peel" door at Christ Church, Oxford, Students protested against alumnus Sir Robert Peel after he supported Catholic Emancipation, leading to his defeat in the university parliamentary election. Does it also mean you have to peel all oranges, apples and bananas before going through it

Birmingham beauty

I took this pic in Birmingham, possibly at Snow Hill Station. I believe it used to be an entrance to the station before they closed it off.

One door closes but none open

Evening all,

Just popped in to submit a door no more... Tewkesbury. Gloucs. I seem to recall quite a few doors in this town.

XT Motherboard

My first PC was an XT with 512K ram, 2 floppy disks, 300baud modem, Amber dual frequency monitor and CGA card. I eventually upgraded to an ST225 before skipping a few iterations of PC's up till I got a 485SX-50. I have seen quite a few odd things in my journey, but regret not photographing them,

The image is an XT motherboard, The drives I photographed years ago, the big one is an ST412 and the smaller an ST385. 3 iterations of floppy/stiffy drives. The full height version we used in our mainframes while the half height was in the PC's

ST412 and ST358

Stiffy and floppy

Favourite Eustace quote

Eustace has so many great lines, but my personal favourite (and one which I use quite often) is: "It's garbage, from King Garbage of the Garbage Dynasty!" It comes from the King Ramses Curse episode. Come to think of it there are a number of really great quotes in that episode. And no, I wont return the slab!
