For ever losing stuff


Hi

Been a bit of a theme of late me losing stuff. Well since I did the 
tidying up of all the kit this year I have been puzzled by the apparent 
loss of two computers. Just two .. I hear you say. Well yes just two. I 
did have a second Acorn 3000 and also another Acorn A3010. Now I know 
neither were working. But since I did my research on the Acorns you can 
get them up and running if they power up by hitting the R or Delete key 
on boot.

Much like the episode with the magazines I let my mind drift before 
going to sleep and imagine every likely place the things could be. From 
my recent post you will be reminded that I used an old Citroen BX for 
deliveries of parcels. The car was parked permanently on the drive 
following me being gifted a company car. Sad that I just left it to rot.

In 2010 I did use the car a temporary store  for some kit and I cannot 
help but think I placed these two computer in the car for some reason. 
Well.. in 2013 I went to a breakers yard and asked about the costs of 
getting the car removed. We chatted a while... oddly I was the Architect 
for the very building they were using. That evening when I returned home 
the Citroen had gone. They left a note asking me to deliver the 
paperwork when I was next in the area. Not sure I had agreed for them to 
take it, but hey, the car was gone. So I could never know what I left in 
the car and I was kinda of the view that the computers were gone.

And so to tonight and me retrieving the BBC Master Series beast. Tucked 
below a large stack of machines and out of view I was struggling like 
mad to pull the thing out. So bloody heavy. Hang on.... !! What are 
these keyboards... Well I never. There was the Acorn 3000 and the Acorn 
A3010. I quickly plugged in both and pressed the old Delete and like 
magic I get the welcoming beep that means the system recovered from the 
CMOS and booted. Well I never. Strange but true.

And now I have the largest clap of thunder, seriously and a heavy down 
pour. And so welcome to the English summer. Amazing. I care not I didn't 
lose my machines after all. So I'm up three tonight. Not bad.

Better switch off before the lightning takes out the computer. Just my luck.
