Re: [TCLUG:11875] Old hardware sources?

["Kelly Black" <blackk100@hotmail.com>]

Phil,
I have a laptop for you.  It's an old 486.  The wire to the backlight goes 
through a hinge, and apparently broke (I have fixed it once before).  If you 
want it, you can have it.  It does have a HDD (200 mb) I think.  The floppy 
works.  It has 4Mb ram.  If you are handy with taking apart laptops, you 
could probably get the backlight tube working again, otherwise just shine a 
bright light on it.

Let me know if you could use it..

(would rather give this to someone who is willing to use it rather than 
dispose of it!!)
