In my last bit of code that runs that particular program shown in the picture, the code has 2,057 lines as it stands right now....and 2,324 colons! (I used MS WORD, did a Cntrl-H replace for the colons and that's the number that WORD said it replaced.

Anyway I am on for ripping some phones apart, so thanks for the insight, to drive these units.
Although at the moment I am in the middle of part mining an autofeeder minolta colour photocopier.
Does that laser scanner motor really spin at 165,000rpm. What can I use that for? A colon detector maybe??
I am thinking of a colon expander/compounder reformatting macro…., for printing purposes
Look after your health… look after your colons
Wouldn't be able to cope without mine!
Ripping - I've got a few 'dead' phones that I've collected myself. Those LCDs are pretty much the same, slightly different, pretty much based on the same coding. But the Nokia types are the cheapest by far.
Scanner motor - 165,000 rpm? I'd doubt that. Maybe if the mirror is multi-faceted, they're actually multiplying the RPM times the number of facets... But yes, I suppose you could use it for a combination colon detector/driller...
Colon Expander/Compounder - I was at a local truck stop over the weekend. I think I was fed a combination 'Colon Expander/Compounder', although I didn't become aware of it until a day or two later.
