I got up to 11 revolutions before I fell exhausted. Anyone can beat that?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I made 11 revolutions on my office chair before I got dizzy.
Does that count?

If you rip a hole in a net, it has fewer holes.
Doesn;t that mean you just fixed it, a bit?

To find out, keep going until it has no hole left in it, I guess.
Not sure what you'd call what you end up with however.

Given that Griff was talking about "ripping a hole" in that net...I don't think you'd end up with anything like a string. Many short ones, maybe...

And today, cardstock (even 200gsm photo laser paper) feeds perfectly.
And I know why. Humidity.
I got rid of all my inkjet stock before the printer arrived, leaving only my plain uncoated paper (mostly just my "standard" 90gsm A4 letter, and "impressive" 120gsm A4 letter) so that no-one - not me, not Herself, not even the cat if he works out how to print - will accidentally feed it though and bugger the imaging drum, and ordered some 200gsm laser photo paper for cards. And all excited I tried to use it the same day. That's what the problem was: it had been stuck in a cold van in the pouring rain all day and had soaked up loads of atmosphere.
Today, I adjust my image for the 1cm offset that it seemed to need ... and it prints an extra 1cm border because the paper has dried out and feeds perfectly! 
I should have thought of that yesterday. "Dear Mr Samsung, sorry I suspected your kit, but ... "

Printer manufacturers must feel the same way about paper many of us do about users. A necessary evil.

They think about users in the same manner - only with more swear words, probably.

My poor little laptops c drive (119gb) filled up on Wednesday, I did not even realise I had an SSD but it was an early one so very small. Went and bought a 480gb Kingston SSD at the local part store in Cairn and asked them to fit and transfer the c drive. I was quite willing to pay the $150 for a professional to do the job but they wanted the machine for 5 working days - bugger off.
Went to the local one man show computer guy who said it could be done overnight.
Next morning he calls to say he is laid up with a bad back and that his attempt failed. I went around to pick up the machine and a couple of cables to do the transfer on my old desktop.
Downloaded Aoemei (OG gets quite eloquent with it's praises), nice UI seems simple enough so I start the transfer - 3 hours later I supposedly have my c drive transferred to the new disk.
Now for the dreaded part, physically swapping the drives, I hate hardware. As simple as 1 screw and a gentle tug on the drive fitting.
No boot drive Ffaaaaaarrrrkkkkk me!
For the next 6 hours I try rescue disk, Lenovo recovery, Windows 10 troubleshooting. Eventually I get windows to acknowledge there might be something it can work with. I then used the recovery drive I had taken the night before to reset the computer.
Except I now have 8 partitions where I used to have 3, download Aoemei partition manager because windows 10 will not allow you to extend a partition unless the vacant partition is adjacent to the one you want to extend and windows WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO MOVE A PARTITION. Every other toll does this in their most basic operation.
I am now back to 3 partitions and all the installed software can see the D: partition with all the data on it  I hate working with OS's.

When cloning laptop drives, the failure rate is quite high if the target drive (the new one) is not installed in the laptop:
- Install the blank drive into the laptop
- Put the source disc (the small one from the laptop) into a portable case, and connect it to the laptop
- Boot the laptop with the cloning software's boot disc, and follow the instructions.

Yeah - when I tried it, it was a desktop, and I used the "Upgrade to SSD" feature. Physically added the SSD to the machine, it took half an hour for my 1TB SSD and then removed the HDD. Booted right up.
When I did a lappy, I removed the lappy HDD and connected it and the new SSD to my desktop and cloned from there. Then adjusted the partition size via Partition Assistant to use the bigger drive - 2 minutes I think - and fitted the SSD back in the lappy. Booted straight up and has had no problems at all.

An hour and a carton of Coopers Sparkling or Stout and I would ahve had it done. Should have visited your daughter Holden (I'm 20 minutes away) and could have had it all sorted over a barbecue.

Truisms, now?
I mean, is there anything that can't be sorted over a barbecue?

Yah but you are used to tinkering with the nuts and bolts. I am was purely software and development at that - bugger all this configuration stuff.
It turned out the hardware was a no brainer, 1 screw.
BBQ would be nice, next time I am down there... (we have not been to Sydney for years and have no plans to go)
