You have the machine because that's fucking cool. You have the undergrad papers because... well, that's between you and your doG.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's sort of cool. The monitor (which is nothing but a relogoed VT220T) needs a pair of filter caps for the power supply, as it's got some screen roll, but nothing bad, especially.
And re floppies: occasionally re-reading a college paper is a humbling experience. The papers are grammatically and syntactically correct, but gah it took a long time to express something simple.

I need to retrieve it from San Diego but I still have a C/PM computer with an 8" floppy drive that is in a plywood case. It was still working last time I checked but that was quite a few years ago.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
(yes, I actually still have this. Don't know why.)
OK, I don't have anything that old. But. I am purging. I will say, as I've been digging through old papers, I found the receipt for the Apple 5300c that I am getting ready to toss. Shocking! I paid $4,500 for it! Imagine what kind of laptop you could get for that much today! So ya, I think it's safe to say computer prices have come WAY down.

Omnis, try searching for BootCamp1.4.dmg maybe one of the torrent places (or, god forbid, a traditional site) has an active copy for download.Good call! I have downloaded it. Upon opening it, it promptly tells me "Boot Camp beta has expired. OK"
So I dial back the date on the clock to see if that trick works. It starts to! It installed the Boot Camp Ass't utility. But once I open that, it says something about my internal drive needs to be reformatted to one partion in Extended (Journaled)... which it already is.

Not tonight.
Anyone have a clue, short of backing up everything and wiping the drive?

If I were looking for a really cheap laptop to have in my house, go on-line and perhaps use word and excel occasionally, would this do? Could I possibly find one cheaper?

It has Vista on it, so I think at only 2G of ram it will be really slow for you.
