Hey. New board.

Well, I have decided that I have room in my budget to replace my rapidly approaching dead iBook (it's started to flicker regularly, and it sometimes makes scary sounds). Thus, in a week, when the check I just deposited clears, I will be putting in an order for the lower-end MacBook Pro and an additional 1 GB of RAM at Other World.

Here's hoping the Early Adopter Bugs don't bite me in the ass.

It takes a week?

Ooh! Good luck. I'm jealous.

hmmm...

Once you get your MacBook, are you planning on selling your dying old iBook?

I would love to tear one apart and see if I could fix it. But then I say that about all the dying tech I get my hands on... :)

Maybe if I get a job soon...sigh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

DCJ, all tech or just computer-y tech? Cause I am gathering all of my dead or tragically suicidal equipment and I prefer not to trash it.

Off of the top of my head: a dvd player that won't open up its yaw; a vcr that was messing with my whole setup so was just removed for my sanity (I have no idea if it works on its own because the dvd I replaced has vcr also); and a PlayStation that my nephlet said stopped working.

It's find a cheap way to ship and a willing recipient or checking the laws on trashing electronics and saying g'bye.

I need some very odd help. If any of you are using MSN Messenger on a PC, could you please drop me a line at my profile addy?

VCRs are kind of heavy to ship anywhere vs their worth. If it seems to be working, Goodwill/charity may take it. If you were near Hyattsville, Maryland, I have a friend who can't afford one....

I'd work on a DVD player. Never ripped open a playstation. Hmmm.

Yeah, I'm a electronics geek, too. Sigh.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

They seem to have a problem figuring out how many years there are in "one score and ten." Maybe if they knew how to do simple arithmetic they wouldn't have had to go out of business in the first place. ;)

So What Software sold its first piece of software on May 15th 1983 and sold its last on November 23, 1990. Over those 7 years it produced 12 titles for the Apple II, II+, GS computer systems.

Soooo.... according to them, "one score" equals.... five? Yikes!
