Wow! That was quicker than I'd expected. I only won the auction on a processor eBay on Thursday, and the item arrived this morning. I liked the novel way it was packed too... namely in a CD case. =:) My old PC is now the proud...er... owner of a 500Mhz K6/2. Okay, they're not spectacular by today's standards, but when it's a step up from an overclocked-to-250Mhz Cyrix, the difference is quite noticeable! =;)

This leaves me with a new problem to ponder over though. What to do with the old processor. I mean the possibilities are endless. Just off the top of my head:-

* Throw it out of a high window
* Drop a large heavy object on it
* See if cola can dissolve it
* Microwave it (No, I am *not* suicidal!)
* Uncover a way to implant it into minds and create a cyborg race with the ability to shift tiny pebbles (Well, it is a Cyrix)

Hmm... I was going to say it would be cool target practice -- but I'm not sure about firearm rights/laws over there. I propose a slight change to the window proposal:

* Throw it out of a high windowat one of the Microsoft tour buses going around the UK. It's coming to Manchester soon =:P

Well, I'm not in Manchester now anyway, and probably wont be for 4 months. Ah well, I'm sure I can think of some other torture for it. Hmm... In the words of Macbeth, 'Is this a toaster I see before me?'. =;)
