    Update!

    Just been to a friend's house to get him signed up for broadband. When I got there I remembered I had thought about upgrading his pc to XP (he's on 98) last time I went (about 2 weeks ago). I thought the only reason I hadn't installed XP originally was because of shortage of ram. It turns out it was also because of lack of disk space, so the upgrade never went through. But of course I had taken the ram along just in case...

    Now I know I didn't leave the ram there, but it also means I probably didn't put it back in the "safe place". So now it could be anywhere in the house, or even in the car! That's a heck of a lot more places to search, but at least I've actually got somewhere else to search.

    Thanks for everyone's help.

    And no, Rob, I hadn't been drinking when I first posted, and I hadn't been drinking when I put the memory wherever it is. Though I probably had been shortly after though.

    Found it.

    Remember I said I thought about upgrading my friend's pc to XP? Well you need a CD to do that. And a CD case is an excellent place to keep small items.

    Now if I could just remember what I was going to do with it.

    Edit: And just to prove you smartasses wrong, I'm going to look for it again tomorrow.

    Nice of you to bump this topic Lynx, I hate seeing posts after I have been drinking, and here I am about to have Dawn fix me up one who wants to make odds on if Lynx finds his Ram or not ?

    Me. As he has already said he found it today, I suspect he will find it tomorrow too.

    yeah, but if he has had as much to drink as I'm going to, I'd lose it again
