Now, that's just mean

So I've got Brick back, and the Mac is now at least booting; although I need to reinstall again once I've moved some files about (to save them from a more thorough nukeing). But now the Laserjet's died. "50 SERVICE" is all it says now; which appears to be most likely to be a fuser problem. I know the LJ 4 is hardly the newest piece of kit, and probably barely worth fixing, but I rather like it and it's vastly cheaper to run than my DeskJet. It looks like it's about 30 quid for a replacement fuser unit, which is a bit annoying. I guess I'll take it apart and check first - but the fact it decided to die having sat and been working, rather than failing in first use is quite annoying. Anyone got a spare fuser unit for an LJ 4?

And this is taken from  Kathryn's (

1) One Book that made you read it More Than Once: "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman!" - I read this loads of times as a kid and now have a copy all of my own.

2) One book you would want on a desert island: The SAS Survival Handbook. Is that a bit practical?

3) One book that made you laugh: I could leave this with Kathryn's answer('The Eyre Affair' by Jasper Fforde), but I'll put down Gridlock - the beginning of which made me laugh a huge amount.

4) One book that made you cry: I *think* Tipping the Velvet (Sarah Walters) did; there have been several but I can't think of them right now.

5) One book that made you wish you had written: I don't know the answer to this one. No book's ever made me wish I'd written it, I guess...

6) One book that made you you wish had never been written: While there are many hideous and unpleasant books in the world, none that I have read would I wish non-existence upon.

7) One book you are currently reading: Theoretically Kushiel's Avatar is next, but there's also the Toyminator and Megatokyo 5 hanging about; and Scott Pilgrim (book 4) should be arriving soon.

8) One book you have been meaning to read: The Well of Loneliness (Radclyffe Hall).

9) One book that changed your life: The closest to this is a book on the theory of how people deal with bad news and bereavement (Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kubler Ross) which I read because of my course but it coincided with my dad's illness and death.
