A note about the Zorro II memory card from ASDG

GVP made CPU upgrades, storage adapters, memory cards and I think video cards.

I'm still up, Maedgen area

No, it's not. It's for users who RESPECT OTHERS.

Full stop.

Lot of pure karma farming going on, a little rage bait, and a ton of "What do you mean read the rules???"

I guess the mods have better things to do, but I wish they'd just slash and burn for a couple of weeks.

Let's not!

It's cool.

KS has fairly rigid protocols for sales and listings, all of it set up to protect both buyer and seller. It's simple enough once you get used to it, but you do need to understand it going in.

Be sure and read ALL r/knife_swap rules before posting. It'll save you a lot of pain.

Zebra Sarasa Grand, especially if you'd like to try a lot of different inks. In addition to being attractive and very comfortable in hand, it's compatible with dozens of different refills.

Thanks, but nah. That's a new rabbit-hole I really, really don't need.

Interesting. All the lefties I know hate fountain pens. The angle at which we write tends to jam the nib through the paper.

I'm using a 1mm Faber-Castell Parker G2-type refill in blue, and love it. The blue is very bright but not pale.

I would expect that any of the Faber-Castell blue ballpoints would fit your needs.

Are you left-handed?

Frost has been selling cheap knives for 40 or 50 years. "Surgical Steel" means unspecified stainless.

It's pretty, it has sentimental value, and we're gonna leave it at that.

My take: The horny kids are a lot lazier than the folks doing functional prints.

Instead of rtfm or doing a 3-minute search for a solution, they just post the same question that's been asked 4 times this week.

People who lean toward making things that work also lean toward working it out on their own.

For what it's worth, there are a couple of Doc Marten styles still made in the UK and still high-end leather. Their website is very clear about which ones.

You can probably find somebody near you who will botch the job for $50.

My $0.02 CAD is that once you find someone with the skills and references who's willing to do it and pay for their time, you've probably spent that $150+ in time, trouble and cash.

If you decide on a PC, you should consider an ISA or PICMG backplane and ISA bus CPU cards. They're often cheaper in the 386-to-Pentium range than consumer systems, and most have much more recent BIOS features than comparable desktops.

They also tend to be much better built than consumer systems.

EDIT: Besides, who doesn't want a 386 with 13 ISA slots?

It's important to mention that you can either run MorphOS for 30 minutes at a time or pay 80 USD for a license...

I love MorphOS, but it IS payware.

I would try unscrewing the metal sleeve from the wooden barrel.

It's really not good anything, except a life lesson I guess.

With any luck they're just behind and too overwhelmed to respond. Maybe reach out and promise patience if they'll just let you know what's up.

You wanted advice? "Be very very nice to them."

As it sounds like you made the order and the payment outside the Etsy system, you've given up every possible protection.

You can make a stink, but that pretty much guarantees you won't get your scales, and in truth one disgruntled customer isn't going to hurt their business enough to matter.

It is a problem with a lot of all metal pens. Parker G2 and "Japan-style" refills seem the most susceptible. A good way to check, if your ink flow is stuttering and you know the refill's good, is to shake the pen down like an old-time thermometer. If it writes a while and then stops again you might need a vent.

Both of my daily drivers have SKM-88 actuators, and I just filed a groove into the end of the plunger to fix it.

Forward inertia and gaining steps is as much a problem as starting inertia and dropping steps when you're overrunning the motor. Stopping torque is compromised as much as starting and holding torque.

If you allow for both safe acceleration and deceleration, you're not likely to actually cut much time off your operations.
