Once they know they can call again with the number revealed.

Simpler, sure. Hell of a risk tho with calls from the cop shop
or the hospital etc. Or even the telco. I had my long distance
calls churned last week and the telco I churned to called a
couple of times with the caller ID blocked.

Cheers

well you maybe need to encourage "puss" to
stay on top of the monitor ! .

Mine sleeps up there all the time and other than the tail occasionally
falling across the screen - there are never monitor problems

I assume you speak of the cat as If it was the other type of puss -
then I imagine that you would be too busy being distracted by it to
notice an intermittent monitor fault

Seriously though - any electronic / tv repairer in your local area
should be able to have this fixed in no time at minimal cost. sounds
much to me like a dry joint.

oh right, thanks for telling me that I WASN'T frustrated by the
"assistance" I got last time I had to go to DSE. I forgot for a
second that I was living my own life and forming my own opinions.

Thanks for setting me straight Rod.

You might be lucky to have decent staff at your local DSE, but I'm
TELLING you that my local store is F___ing useless.

Even a stupid unemployable shinybum should be able to work
out that the obvious fix for that is a well designed CD instead.

Um, ok... yes, I understand that a fix for a SHIT CD rom is... a GOOD
CD rom.

Even a stupid shinybum should be able to grasp
that it must even be possible to have a CD that's
identical in every way to the printed catalog
except that its on the CD and not on paper.

my god, I'm dealing with an amoeba here...

If that were possible (which it isn't), why hasn't anyone done
anything remotely like what you're suggesting?

Even a stupid shinybum should be able to
grasp that its more likely a small operation
can do it right, even if Farnell cant.

DSE? Small operation? We talking about the same thing?

So why do they insist on turning out crap CD catalogues??! I can't
understand your logic. You seem to be doing an awful lot of sticking
up for DSE!

Even a stupid shinybum should be able to grasp that if its the
only one that does that, it must be possible to do it much better.

Yes... amazingly I can grasp the concept of improvement, but I don't
see why you felt the need to state the bleeding obvious twice in one
post.

BTW, you can't piss me off by paying me out for being a public
servant, otherwise I would never have mentioned it! I'm getting paid
more than I should be for doing less in a day than most people do in
an hour (and yet STILL doing more than I need to get pay increases at
regular intervals). Meanwhile they're paying for my diploma and
giving me time off to study and time at work to research and
experiment utilising the awesome equipment available here. (for eg; I
have around $40,000 worth of test equipment allocated to me)

Besides, I can go for a walk through the corridors and encounter
hundreds of gorgeous, young secretaries and PAs prancing around in
short skirts and low cut blouses! Much better than being stuck in a
workshop with other sweaty nerds and having nothing to look at in the
office but busted electronics, bald spots and coin slots...

Yes Rod, my bum is shiny. But one of the perks is that I can get it
waxed down the corridor in my lunch hour at a tax payer subsidised
price!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

The Cat. will always be more convenient,

Wrong. As always. A properly organised
CD or web site is MUCH easier to search.

Utter bullshit. Show me a properly organised web site and I'll show
you a Hussein family member WITHOUT a moustache. There are no such
things!

For starters, you've gotta have a PC sitting there next to your
workbench. (ie; whithin reach, just like the catalogue)

You need a modem, an internet connection, you need to dial up, enter
the URL, wait for the home page, fathom an appropriate search term
then hope that what you're after is in the sub-category.

for instance, cable clamps with nails are called "quick fix cable
clamps" and don't appear in the "cable clamps and grommets" page, they
appear in the "cable restraints" page despite that they are called
"cable clamps".

Click on "Camcorder - Sony" and you'd expect to find Sony brand
camcorders yes?
WRONGO! You get Sony brand tapes... for 8mm camcorders. For ACTUAL
camcorders, you need to go to just plain "camcorders".

What do the categorys "communicate" and "compute" mean? They're not
intuitive at all. Click on "compute" and amongst other useless things
you are prestented with digital cameras! Of course, now we can all
see the relevance. Ah yes, it's a sub category of "fathers day
ideas". Handy!

Notice I havn't even left the "c" page and we've found several stupid
things without even trying.

Hmm, I wonder what's in the "must haves" category? Apparently my life
is not complete without an Energizer Photo Battery ELCRV3! Must get
one this arvo!

To find utility knives, you need to be aware that they're lumped
together with vices. Don't go looking under "K" for knives, that's
just f___ing stupid!!!

Need some RCA cables? Don't go looking under "c" for cables, you
won't find the full range. You need to visit the "Standard range" or
"standard cable range" sub-categorys to find those.

I didn't realise until today that "mini disc" means the MD player
itself, whilst "minidisc" means the blank discs.

Need an extra power point? Double adapter of power board? Can't
decide? better look at prices... oh, they're on two different pages
on the website... got to "P" for powerboards and "d" for double
adapters. Seems simple enough... wait a second, where did the alpha
index go?! Oh, that's right, those "handy links" aren't present on
every page, you'll need to hit back before you can select a new letter
to browse.

printed catalogue,index says page 132, whammo, you've got the whole
range there on two facing pages. Easy.

Need crimp connectors? You need the sub-category "quick connectors",
under this category you'll find a whole bunch of products called
"crimp connectors". Where did the "quick" come into the equation?
Beats me.

oh, and don't try using the search feature either! Search for "crimp
connectors" and you'll find three crimping tools and crimp joiners...
but NO CONNECTORS! Ah ha, I spotted my error, I needed to search for
"crimp connector", drop the "s" and magically they are all found!
That's a pretty clever search engine they have there...

wow, why am I bothering with the catalogue when it's so intuitive and
easy to find what you need on the website!?

Doing these searches from home with my 56k modem would have taken
about half an hour or more! And as my computer doesn't meet the
requirements of the CD rom I have no alternative but to pick up the
print catalogue. And that suits me to a tee!
