Define "easy to find". =)
I'm contemplating knocking on the door to the company in whose skip Bruno
found the boards.

He's got a hot air gun. We had a lot of fun with that and some PC

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
It's amazing how many useful pieces of equipment are disguised as domestic
appliances: the machine for cleaning keyboard keycaps and shell cases does an
excellent job of washing clothes, while the tumbling machine for drying them
off also works for socks and shirts. The device in the kitchen for baking
small spray-painted articles can be used for pizza and muffins.  And so on...
