"just a couple of hundred bucks..."

I can beat that ....

About five years ago (When I first built my x86 N.L.E system.  I sneakily purchased a Non linear Editing card which cost a whopping.......................

£1100 ... just for 1 Card.......

I told the missus I bought it off my brother for £15 !!    :-o


I know the question your all thinking ... How'd the hell she not miss £1100.   Well ...............

As a truck driver... the company I used to work for only used light weight pallets for their product,  which I had to return to them ( I went to the same places) BUT... If there was any Heavy weight pallets then they were no use to them and I was allowed to flog em !!

There used to be a good number of those per week.  It was a great little "perk" until the company floated on the stock market ... Then management had to perpetually show a profit to shareholders,  eventually stuffing everything up ...As is the general rule for "Floated" companies.

Yes.. She found out about 3 years ago when I inadvertantly let it slip.. (Must get round to insulating that doghouse).

ITs quite ironic cos after all that gbh of my earhole,  she now does the editing !!   :-o

That wasn't the first time though !!

Previously,  I ordered a Vidi-Amiga 24rt,  Which was about £120.. I told the missus that it was the lower model (as you do).  When it came, they had forgotten to include the psu.  In my temper I waved Amiga shopper about saying (cussing) "it effing well sez the psu is included".

At that, Susan grabbed the mag out of my hand and said  "Let me look"   :-o

No,  It didn't take her long to spot the real price... about as long as it took for her shoe to disappear up my arse!!    


Doh!    :-o
