    I've Done A Crazy Thing-I Bought A Clamshell iBook

    The specs? 466 mhz, 320 megs of RAM, 10 gig HD & DVD drive. It comes with software. It should arrive Saturday. It will be more of a toy than anything, but I will be doing writing on it. Aside from the coolness factor, I could never afford one new. No more insane spending, though. FTS. 😝 🤪:geek:

    New Toy: Dell Latitude D630 (Windows 7 Pro)

    I picked this machine up at the Trenton Computer Festival (New Jersey) for $25. The price was too tempting to ignore. it's in surprisingly good shape. I'm mostly a Mac person, but I have nothing against Windows. I don't care what the system is, as long as it gets the work done. In 2010, I...

    I'll definitely be there. I drove to the Trenton New Jersey computer show (I haven't been to that in almost 30 years).
