The parts have a good chance of disappearing on their own, never mind with a child around. They seem to turn back up, though. A friend of mine has one of those.

I recently stumbled upon some videos showing some really clever sculptures you can make with tiny spherical magnets, and I eventually tracked them back to http://www.theneocube.com . It's a bit strange calling their product "a cube", when it's actually 216 magnets stuck together in a 6x6x6 cube, but whatever. $30 US seems like a pretty good price for what you get... anyone know a comparable price in/shipped to Australia? (I'd have to keep them at work only; I don't want to *think* about having them at home with a 2 year old.) Cool stuff.

The 1084S-for-Stereo had two speakers; the 1084M-for-Mono had one. (I had a 1084M that had two speaker GRILLES, but only one physical speaker. Ripped off!) > So, what's the difference, then?

You can certainly corrupt a HDD-based ipod with about $2 worth of rare-earth magnets. I know this because, erm, a friend did it once. >Disks are remarkably resistant to magnets.

Back when Alan Sugar had GOOD ideas, instead of stupid email boxes and reality tv shows. So, what's the difference, then? Th'internet is unhelpful on the subject.

The cheap video card I had could only do its second output via composite or something like that. It worked great as a terminal, and wasn't that bad for movies (if you could get over the green).

I used both a 1084 (no S) and a 1702 (U.S.S. Enterprise plus one?) with a VCR (first a top-loading VHS, then a SuperBeta HiFi) for a tuner as makeshift TV sets back in college. And this was in the late '90s! Hand up. I used both a 1084 (no S) and a 1702 (U.S.S.
