I have a couple of 1995 Apple LaserWriter 4/600 printers that just need new cartridges. One has an external localtalk to Ethernet adapter...
...and I just bought one for $11.95, shipped.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My printer came, and I'm happy with the product.

My printer didn't come. I just today noticed there'd been a cancellation notice. I was getting set to get all up in my bank's business about the damn billing address issue resolution, when I remembered I'd accidentally entered my cel phone number instead of my company one. Rage deferred.
So I reordered, but with faster shipping since I'd been regretting taking the free choice anyway. Should be here Thursday or Friday.

I've asked this before, but now I really have time.
Since I'm unemployed, I'm doing some housecleaning, and all of my tinkering computers are over 10 years old.
If anyone has any dead or mostly dead laptops (Mac or PC) made in the last decade they would like to get rid of, let me know.
I can't pay much, but I'll pay for postage.

Printer does not yet show as shipped. Somewhat dubious as to whether or not will arrive tomorrow.

I was startled with how fast Staples shipped for free. And Staples was the shipper.
Not to lemon in paper cut, just actually startled when the guy showed up.

Okay okay! I generally get impressed with business to business businesses because they get the whole need-it-now thing. But no go so far. I mean, it could be fine. I just feel dubious.

If it was shipped USPS, it sometimes doesn't show until after it arrives.

Shouldn't have been. If it was, it won't get to me; the United states postal service refuses to deliver to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Intel's Awesome NUC PC Starter Kits Are On Sale Today
If you're looking for a super-compact PC with an abundance of power, but don't want to build it all from scratch, Intel's Next Unit of Computing boxes might be just what you're looking for. Today on Amazon, the Intel Core i3 and Core i5 models are marked down to some of their lowest prices ever.P
The i3 NUC is only $266 today, and the i5 model is selling for $330, or about $50 off the typical asking price.
...
The kits come complete with motherboard, case, processor, and Wi-Fi antennas, but you'll have to add a mSATA SSD, power cord, wireless card (unless you're going to use strictly ethernet exclusively), RAM, and your input devices. Still, once you've built out your machine, you'll have a fully-functioning Intel PC with a 4" x 4" footprint.
I totally want a a fully-functioning Intel PC with a 4" x 4" footprint. I just can't think what I'd use it for.
