[Glenn]

  Needs a bit of work on the resolution.

[Ray]

 

[Baz]

whats the speed, 10mpp

Minutes Per Page     clever though.Theres a clip of a lego ATM machine some where

[pctech]

Need to add a couple more heads to convert it to colour. 

Not much good if you are in a hurry though.

[Simon]

Some people have too much time on their hands. 

[pctech]

They do.

[Rik]

It reminds me of the plotters we used to use - though they didn't look like Lego.

[pctech]

Ah yes plotters, fascinating machiines.

[Rik]

They were - I loved to watch them draw.

[pctech]

Haven't seen one for years but yes so did I

[pctech]

Not the best quality but I found this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSvXqgt54KU

[Rik]

Doesn't quite capture the magic, does it.

[pctech]

Nope

The first school I went to was a Special Educational Needs school as the surgeon I was under was concerned that if I was knocked over my back could be damaged (I have Scoliosis of the spine) and the school educated kids up to 18 and they did teach design and had one in the 'senior area'

[Glenn]

We have a few 48" plotters at work, thankfully I don't support them.

[Rik]

Although I understood the principles of driving a scanner, actually watching one at work was still amazing at the time.

Sorry to hear about the scoliosis, Mitch, are you managing it OK?

[pctech]

Yes I have CP of the lower limbs (so I use a chair when out and about) and Scoliosis but I'm glad to say I'm not in pain so am very lucky.

[Rik]

That's good-ish. 

[pctech]

Just got to learn to drive at some point soon otherwise network engineering will prove a bit of a problem as I want to work at the service provider level.

[Rik]

Would you be able to drive a normal car, or need a modified one, Mitch?

[pctech]

Modified with hand controls as to assist my walking I have a heel raise so it might be a bit heavy on the accelerator  and it will need to be an automatic but apart from that, normal.

[Rik]

Not too major a mod then.

[pctech]

So so it'll be a Ford focus to begin with and if I get a really nice job I might buy myself a new Audi A4.

[Rik]

 

Not an RS6.
