Another week, another repair: this time it's memory on my "workstation" PC. So I'm working with reduced memory until replacement arrives, hopefully tomorrow. I guess I should be looking for server-grade memory since this workstation does run 24/7.

That sounds like fun. What you need is a Maplins in your nearest town. They have/had special offers on memory when I called in to the Hereford branch, a fortnight back.
A Maplins special offer, is when it reduces the price from its usual extortionate rate, to the price everybody else charges.

Actually we do have Maplins ... they're in Limerick, and Galway, as well as Cork and Dublin. I visit them fairly regularly, as you say sometimes the offers can be quite good! But I generally get my memory from

Another week-end, another rally - this time a two-day International based in Cork, so 3Wells is with me! All very quiet so far ...
p.s. The "edit" button "disappears" after a short while (I think I have it set for 10 minutes); this is to allow corrections but to stop abuse such as had become rather too common "elsewhere". But since all currently here are "responsible", I'll work out how to re-enable editing for such people.

That name rings a dim and distant bell. I think I may have mail ordered stuff from them.
I use mail order a lot. As a rule I'd sooner support small independent traders (wherever they are) than the larger chain-stores
Hope you had a fun rally.
