Bring out your dead....
Aug. 14th, 2003 01:04 pmAnother call for dodgy old laptops :)
For values of dodgy - I'm happy to live with broken CD drives, broken screens, cracked cases, even dead hard drives, but my minimum requirements are working processor/mainboard, and working "boot mechanism", be it netboot or floppy (preferable).
I may be prepared to part with token cash for really good ones, but the emphasis here is on laptops that normal people would throw out :) I'm happy to swap some of my old hardware though, if people need... um ... ISA network cards :)
