Or better still, one that can disolve the spoon!

Dammit, I was this close ->.<- to throwing my Amiga 1200 in a skip. Now 
I'm going to have to see if it still works, out of tea-based curiosity! 
It was last powered up in 1997 so I expect the battery backed clock is 
no longer backed by a battery, and the blistering 250Mb hard drive and 
25MHz '030 will be a little painful to use... but there's tea involved.

My pregnant girlfriend has gone off tea, so now I'm drinking for two =)
