I like to brush my hair with old cpus, the pentium pro I have here is great for when I'm in a long thinking session. ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Goldoff To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 3:12 PM Subject: RE: OT: anybody collect old processors ?
yes, it is, but also has some surface mount components and an attached heat sink... I'll just use my knife sharpener for the knife ( or an upside down coffee cup ) Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Len Hammond [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 2:31 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: anybody collect old processors ? If it is one of the hard grey/brown ceramic chips, they make one of the best knife sharpening ceramics ever. With the pins on the bottom sticking the chip into an old piece of short knap carpet they stay put and keep your fingers out of the blade and with a little honing oil or Marvel Mystery Oil they remain stationery and teriffic for sharpening knives. My suggestion is that you hang on to it for that purpose. I have several old 486s and early Pentiums that I keep around for just that purpose. They work great and are pretty cheap.

Just found it again today. Anyone collect old processors that would want this for just shipping cost, or should I just trash it ???
