As a small child (oh no, not the small child story), I was given all things broken, or items that no longer functioned. These were my “toys”. More often than not, these “toys” were disassembled and reassembled, somehow to be brought back to functioning status once again by that kid with a dirty face. Now currently... having more time than money, this aspect of my “behavioral genetic en-coding” is once again coming to the front.
Of course, while not always successful, I still rather stubbornly chase such dragons / tilt at these windmills and pursue what many may deem merely as lost causes. I have resurrected many of the much smaller varieties of the oft nefarious Epson Stylus printer line (with opti-visored eyes). But, the 10600 is a much larger beast altogether and thusly, perhaps easier to handle in my now not-so-nimble-as-before fingers… and now with my not-so-very-sharp eyes. (Besides, it won’t fit in a normal trashcan anyway, it would require a dumpster and two very stout individuals to lug it up out of my basement cave.)
The MDD project was merely a warm up.
Glutton for punishment? Perhaps. Yet, there are still many that think OS 9 was dead quite a long time ago... and now, this once-dirty face resides behind a full-white beard. Besides, it’s probably just a "dribble" of cyan ink caked on the face of the print head that a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol will easily remove. (He typed with great hope and intended levity.)
Now, on the other hand there’s an Epson 3000 down there as well, that you’d probably have to force me at gunpoint to even get me to begin thinking about disassembling it. (That Epson 3000 would fit, in a large trashcan.)
Wish me luck. I might indeed need it. (Said the dirty face, now from behind the white beard.)
