I know what it is, I'm just wondering if anyone else does.

Hmm...look's like a gyro...or something, contained in sailboat,but no I don't now,but looks very familiar, an ashtray? But I don't smoke so it goes a way,:arrgh!: :nope: :wah:

No, it is one of these round magnet tape things they used in the old days of computers to feed the machines with data, the big computer centers I mean, not just some private mini-PC. I don't know the specific term for it. To me it is the "round tape thing". :)

I think it is used to rewind compact disc. :)

:har: Good one.

Curling bowl :o

Somebody else said that the other day. Nope. :D

For god sake pump up the right thing :doh:

Just a flash of memories lead me down the NCR search path

Yes, they are disk platters, probably 9 x 12" disks, each held approximately 7mb.
This is an old ICL 4902 I once owned::oops:

Guess how much ram it had?

It's an ashtray that sucks in the ashes. :D

A really big ashtray. Maybe for cigars. :smug: :D

Is this your house Reece,:D

Mighty close, it's Wang Computers not CDC, it measures 15" diameter and has something like 398 MB of storage, and weighs a (metaphoric) ton.

First prize to longam. :woot:

Of course it is, you can see his toy fire engine.

Of course it is! Haven't you ever seen an Australian home before?

And look at the working men: In Australia, physical labour is undertaken by all. The young, the old, the fit, the weak, the newborn. Those who are facing imminent death from whatever cause, haul their own deathbed into their house! It is the Aussie way!
