    Murphy's Law

    Even though we are a little quiet at this time of the year we decided to
    go ahead and buy a new Epilog Fusion 40.
    Now, we are in no hurry to get it so called up the bank and met with
    the lending manager last Friday, so he gave me the usual mindless
    forms to fill out and i said ''we are getting this new machine
    because we feel vulnerable only having 1 laser and if the laser should
    fail we will be in trouble''
    SO i filled in the forms on Tuesday and thought, i will send these through
    when i get a minute.

    You can see it coming!

    Wednesday morning turned on the laser... Tube DEAD!

    Remember we are at the bottom of the world so if i'm lucky i get a new tube
    maybe Tuesday next week.

    Thanks Mr Murphy

    Sorry to hear the bad news. I dropped one of my hard drives on the floor this week and toasted it so I know how you feel.

    I usually subscribe to Gumperson's Law: Murphy was an optimist.

    Also known as: O'Toole's commentary on Murphy's law or Smith's Law

    Apparently, everyone has had a problem with Mr. Murphy.......

    Hope your issues resolve sooner than later.
