I think his (female) secretary thought I was some kind of loony, and
there was a long (and muffled) discussion with the engineer before they
said he’d come and take a look, but apparently he is going to turn up
tomorrow to remove the “screen of potential doom” from the old mac.
It’ll probably take them 5 minutes and they’ll say I’m a big girl for not doing it myself, but I’d rather not risk death, ta.
Anyway – blogging about it has succeeded in giving me the kick up the arse needed to phone and book the engineer. Hoorah!

quick update: they didn’t turn up at all, grr!
Hopefully they’ll turn up today or I’ll give them a call tomorrow to ask what’s up – bit crap really….

I am starting the same project. I’m torn between a Pentium 4 itx or using a mac mini. I also planned on going touch screen too. I look forward to seeing your display turns out, that seems to be the only part I am worried about n my project.

Well, today I’ll be calling up a different company to come and do the work. I’m not very impressed with Triangle Television of New Malden
I would have been happy to remove the CRT myself, but that discharging it didn’t go well at all! I’ll take a look at that link though, thanks.
