Tech Toys, Gaming, Religious Nutters,
I've been fortunate in the past couple of weeks to acquire a HP Compaq nx5000 (although I'm at a loss why the inbuilt sound card is utterly silent), a Cisco Catalyst 2900XL switch and a dodgy Canon scanner.
People would be utterly disturbed by my LAN. The workgroup is called "Woodland". The computers are "Hedgehog" (Mandrake 10.1/Windows XP dual disk dual boot), "Bunny" (Windows 2000/FreeBSD dual disk boot) and "Rat" (Red Hat Fedora Core 4, the laptop). "Squirrel" (SQL server) and "Badger" (Windows 2003 server) and "Shrew" (BSD server) are also planned. Solved my USB problems from last week with a kernel upgrade. Annoying to say the least. On a related topic CCNA studies go well, with another two modules and c85% for the exams.
Also after over twenty years of collecting, I now have a complete set of Different Worlds magazines. The elusive copy was issue 23 which I gave away as a teenager to a kid down the road who wanted to see what the 'zine was about... On a related topic have hacked out the Mimesis RPS rules into some sort of very specific rules rather than the vague ideas and concepts that I was working with. A new design group is being set up within the next twenty four hours and anyone who wants to be a playtester/designer should contact me.

Apparently 'Intelligent design' an option: Nelson; yeah, for the really stupid. On the same note, there's a good anti-homophobic thread going around. I won't repeat it, because most people on my flist would already agree and have already seen it. However, I do recommend you boycott Gloria
Jeans.

You know, I think I have some spares of the issues you've listed...

Sure that sounds fine. I'll bring them over with me when I'm heading to Perth in a few weeks..

Looking at the list, I'll take your Different Worlds #7 and #32 and offer a range of about 40 Dragons (and about 15 White Dwarfs, if you care).
Wow — I had no idea I had so many spares. Maybe I should start an ebay store.

OK here's the good news...
I have spares of issues
7 (although missing the Foundchild cult insert - easy to p/copy and include), 8 (just arrived from the UK - an 'accidental' purchase on my part), 31, 32 (these two issues are *great*), 36, 40, 42 (also a great issue), and 42 (yes, I have *three* copies)...
Take your pick and don't be shy...
