I managed to track a copy on ebay! Use isfdb to find which book contains the story you want to read, then check ebay and see what you can afford.

Good leads are "Another Part of the Galaxy", "The Best of Eric Frank Russell", and "Major Ingredients: The Selected Short Stories of Eric Frank Russell".

I just bought the first one for a few quid :-)

Hey mate, Dells are piss easy to modify. Service manuals and all. Isn't there a new Dell laptop you can put your screen into? I have an E5500 with a 1920x1200 screen I got of an older precision. The connectors at the back of the LCD were the same and although the screen is darker than I would like (CCFL?), it's still pretty good.

Don't even do this mate!

Your IE is vulnerable to any malware that will pop-up through an ad, so keep your interaction with IE to a minimum.

  • Open explorer (Win-E). Type www.ninite.com (ninite singular, not ninites, that's a fake site last I checked).
  • Important, as soon as IE comes-up, you will need to kill the second tab before any advert loads.
  • Select Chrome/Firefox/Security essentials and whatever else you might need

Or if you really can't remember the website's name (happens with old age), just type www.ie7.com in explorer. Trust me on that one :-)
