Amersfoort Plea - 08/07/2004 05:28

Rob Schofiel, do you still have some HD mounting washers and screws?

I'd gladly take 2 dozen of each, if someone at Amersfoort can pick
them up and bring them back to California.
(or even one dozen, if you're in very short supply)

I'd gladly pay Rob what he thinks is appropriate, as long as that is
in the single-digit dollar range. And the bearer will be compensated
with a beer, plus my hot spandex-clad wife will accompany him to one
of those clubs in Paris that have all the... Um. wait. that never
seems to work out well. Might impact my future political career.
OK, scratch the hot spandex. You'll have to settle for a beer or
equivalent non-alcoholic beverage of your choosing.

But I really want those mounting screws and washers if someone
there thinks they might be out my way eventually.
Otherwise, I'll just order them from Rob. (Seems a waste of
international postage, though.)

No takers?
Or is everybody currently in-transit to the event?

I am going to try to get some, so I'll feel out the situation and see if I can get 2 dozen more. I'm East Coast USA so I could easily mail them to you. Í'll see what I can do Saturday.

That's funny cause my first reaction was to brush the screen with my fingers.

Haha, crazy Holland keyboard, I guess. I was trying to type so fast on my 12min/Euro time limit that I never noticed.

music: Mach was kind enough to give me washers and jumpers to give to you. I'll order some screws (and drive sled screws) a mail the set to you.

Let me know when you're ready to send.
Maybe we can work out some kind of exchange.
Do you need a couple of those Karma screen-protector dealies, perhaps?

Do you still need stuff?

Re: Amersfoort Plea - 29/08/2004 19:05

Yes.
But it's probably not worth the 10 Euro postage for you to send me 39 cents worth of hardware.

I'm not in a real big rush.

I can just get them from FoxFire when he has a chance.

If you haven't got it by the end of the month, post again and let me know.

Hey, there you are. Sorry I hadn't followed up on this in a while.

I do have the washers, given to me by Mach specifically for you. I couldn't get the screws though. I tried to order them from Farnell but they don't ship to the US! After that, I just got busy and never continued to look for a USA source for the screws.

How about this. Hang in there for a week while I try to order the screws (because I want some and I'll send some to you). If I have no luck, I'll mail the washers alone. PM me your mailing address so I know where to send them.

Thanks for your patience, and good to hear from you again.

PM me if you want a UK address for Farnell to ship to and I'll happily forward them on

You might want to try Mcmaster Carr. The 6mm that I bought are slightly longer than the original screws so you may want order the 5mm.

We have the washers and screws for the hard drives as well as the display and HD cradle mount screws. We'll put them on our website later today.
