This is Errol Street in North Melbourne with the clear blue sky! People who miss Melbourne, miss it even more now? Hehe...thought you like a little peek at what you're missing out.
Anyway as we were heading towards the restaurant we came across the front of the council office where an old 17" monitor was sitting on the floor right in front with a note stuck to it.
Had a better look at the note and it said that its free for anyone who wants it! The monitor is working except for the power button. I couldn't believe my eyes and went inside and spoke to a lady who confirmed that it was a giveaway and that I could have it now! So what do you think I did?
I took it home of course! I tested the monitor with my old IBM computer and found the monitor to be in good working order. Don't let the photo fools you coz the display is very good! It just need a good clean on the outside because of years of abuse from the council workers!
The only fault I could find was the power button which appeared to be stuck on ON all the time which doesn't bother me one bit! Its not everyday I get something free so I am grateful for today! The weather was good and the sun was shinning on me!

We saw 2 monitors out by the roadside that was put there for the garbage man. Ted told me that the rule is that whatever that is put out by the roadside is free for anyone to take. There were 2 there....would u have taken them? :) Dunno if working or not lar, maybe they bought 2 laptops instead ....:D
me: nolah, i put star wars stickers!
STP: u buy i definitely want! i'll find a way to carry so just buy lor!
QV: STP suffering from what they call "indian giver"! oops! no pun intended yvy & all indians out there! i din make up the name!
Yvy: those on the streets r rubbish so i stay clear of them..i'll only take whats good!
wouldn't be nice if you found a spankin' BMW in desperate need of a new home? and for free too!
but wait.. cars are dirt cheap in Aussie so I won't be surprised. hehe.
this is good karma! ppl giving away thing so others may benefit!
Nice freebie. Tomorrow check out the council office again, who knows they may have a LCD monitor for give away!
hedo: now that would be LOVELY!
see fei: good karma or wasteful on the part of the council?
neo: i seriously doubt that but u never know!
