Forget about London, I checked.<\/p>\n<p>For those of us who piece together our own computers, we have tons of parts left over from upgrades and obsolete machines. I&#8217;ve used my own stock of used parts to repair and upgrade many people&#8217;s systems.<\/p>\n<p>Including putting together a computer for handicap person on welfare so her kids could have something. Another friend donated the base unit. I replaced most of the drives since he was a smoker.<\/p>\n<p>I also was able to find computers on the curb and use parts from it to fit a couple of computers including a friend who&#8217;s power supply died and he needed to send a resume out that night.<\/p>\n<p>I would never think that it can go both ways. This Sunday&#8217;s memeting, Heekun brought 3 laptop memory DIMMS. Out of the three, only 128m PC100 memory would work. At least it&#8217;s out of the drive cache just to idle with some memory to spare.<\/p>\n<p>One downside I found that the drive is NOT a burner but will read only a CDRW. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"postbody\">At least with the DVD and extra memory, video playback for makeup meetings will be better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once again THANKS Heekun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The continuing saga of the New to me laptop&#8230; Well the laptop memory leaves something to desire being only 64 megs onboard.
