I fixed my laptop!

[Joe]

I don't know what I did, so technically I didn't fix it myself, but eh.. it works. Let's see how long he lives this time.

For those who forgot, specs:

IBM ThinkPad 600
Intel Pentium II - 300MHz
64MB RAM.
6.4GB HD (Needs upgrading, obviously).
13" Screen
Windows 98.

For now, it's my solitare box for study hall (yeah, teacher doesn't care, I've brought it in and played before), but eventually (sooner than later, I hope) I'll install Slack and use it for some form of pwngramming.

I'm amused by the fact that you think the hard drive is the most obsolete piece of equipment.

[rabbit]

Clearly the most obsolete piece of equipment is the laptop....wait......

I thought it was Joe.  He should just get a new Joe

[Joe]

Technically, I am the oldest part, so CrAz3D is actually somewhat right. His suggestion, though, is denied. Sorry.

I didn't say the HD is the most obsolete part. I simply said it would be upgraded first. IIRC, iago runs Slackware on similar hardware for his workstation (his workstation is a laptop, again IIRC) with more RAM and a bigger HD. And I don't see you calling iago "stupid" or "cheap".


I got a new AIM screen name for the laptop, considering I don't want conflicting keys between machines (deadly7 e-killed me last time I let that happen). If I talk to you on a regular basis, leave me one within the next few days so I remember to add you: joetheodd1337.

You're ripping off the cool people again, Joe.

You're not making sense again, rabbit.

Is it really necessary to be an ass all of the time?

Too bad we've all had ours for years and you're all just stupid posers (except trust maybe, I don't remember when he got his).

[Hitmen]

People with 1337 in their name are retarded either way

[rabbit]

So's your face!

[Joe]

I'll reiterate Sidoh's question.


The BIOS battery died, again. Luckily, I had a working one handy this time and I'm up and running again. Should be the last time it dies for years.

I was the first, therefore I'm exempt from that lame rule.
