Just askin'....

*Years* ago there was a multi-part magazine thing called "Real Robots".  Jared had it for ages and built the robot that came with it.  When we moved it got stored.  He's just found it again but is missing one of the cables with part 63

If you still end up short, you could try these people

who seem to have lots of the parts for the robots at not too extortionate a price.

But that kind offer is definitely worth taking up, aren't friends wonderful!

Dratted people won't ship. Oh well. I rely upon the kindness of... well, not strangers, but "dear friends" doesn't fit so well in the quote!

What? That makes *no* sense! They advertise as a shopping site, they are in Bolton (so it's not like it's overseas or anything) ...

... people like that should be made to spend six months without internet until they learn to behave properly!

Their "shopping cart" includes "You may want to add some instructions for using the shopping cart here. (defined in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php)". Under "Party plan" they invite me to fill in a nonexistent form 'opposite' (opposite what, the screen?). Most of the other sections under 'Services' (which oddly include 'Web Design' and 'Programming') are drastically incomplete. I somehow don't think that competance is high on their list of abilities...

Definitely said it wouldn't ship to my area despite my area being the UK... Maybe Lincolnshire has declared independence but no-one's told me!

I think I understand what's happened - it sounds like an automatic install of one of the free shopping cart programs. I had similar useless scripts when I started with Talis' shop. But I did have the common sense to try and proof-read and test it before it went live!
