Scrounging for Parts

I've cannibalized two different laptops for parts. A thirty gig hard drive from one, and a 256mb chip from another. I've also been on fleaBay looking for the full install disk of OS9. It's amazing what kind of money people will ask for old obsolete stuff.

I called a used computer store, but they didn't have any. If we didn't have such a bad day at the park (see my other post on that) I would have stopped in at the one close to us, but well, yeah, crappy day, it went totally out of my head.

My plan for tomorrow is to put out another os9 call on SFFN freecycle and see if any kind soul would like to part with theirs. I also need to get my pictures in order so when I get the operating system on it, all I have to do is load up my iphoto. Going through Dharma's pics is going to be a task.

Speaking of pictures, I'm going to be uploading some of the powerbook, well as soon as I take them::grin:: So keep checking back, I hope to have some scenes starring the powerbooks guts in a day or two.
