Speaker 5: I was driving a Madda three two three station wagon

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 5: and lots of cars at home, so I had to

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 5: park on the front lawn, which was on quite a hill,

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 5: and I was racing out to go to a club

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 5: one night. Jumped in my car, didn't realize it was midnight,

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 5: and reversed at speed and backed over a wheelly bin

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 5: and got the back the wheels of the wheelly bin

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 5: wedged up underneath the bumper of my car.

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,600

Speaker 3: And so how much can you raise us eight thousand

87
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: dollars worth of damage to your company?

88
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: I think I got that covered, Mike gone back in

89
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 6: the eighties, always many Adrian Hillard Packard's warehouse where all

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 6: this stuff used to come in from Australia. They had

91
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 6: a computer which was top heavy and I had to

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 6: move it from one from one storage room to another

93
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 6: with a with the fourth lift. Now the computer was

94
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 6: worth about fifty to sixty grand and on one side

95
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 6: of the skid there was a polystyrene mission. So when

96
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 6: it was top heavy, I went around the corner and

97
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 6: it fell over and broke one of the internal parts,

98
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 6: so that sort of stuffed them up for a little while,

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 6: and they had to wait for another part to come

100
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 6: in from Mexico. When they sent a party from Mexico,

101
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 6: waited about one hundred grands and it was sitting on

102
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 6: top of the palette and I was driving the fourth

103
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 6: lift and it flew off the palette straight underneath the

104
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 6: tire and there goes the fifteen thousand dollars replacement part

105
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: and another six months for one to come back in.

106
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable.

107
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean, why did they keep letting you do this

108
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: as well? Old changers? Dave on the fourth lift, and

109
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: this is you know, young kids listening, this is how

110
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: heavy computers used to be. Do you want to move

111
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: a computer now what you put in your backpack? You

112
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: used to have to get a forklift truck to actually

113
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: move a top heavy computer.

114
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: I can imagine. That's why top heavy anymore.

115
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 6: The center remedy is right down the bottom, David, And

116
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 6: he said, he said it was so heavy, yet the

117
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 6: wind blew it off.

118
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's right.

119
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, the replacement part come in a package which

120
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 6: was about one hundred grams, you know, maybe two hundred

121
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 6: grams for the other or actually come. But back in

122
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 6: those days the computers used to be eight meg, so

123

Speaker 6: your home personal computers used to be eight meg. Your
