So Saturday I buy a PowerBook 540c with a battered keyboard and broken hinge for $5, hoping it has a good display that I can use to replace another that is failing. I get it home and find the hard drive has been pulled, so I install another and bring up 7.6.1. The display is bright and clear, and even better there is 36MB of RAM. So rather than strip it I build it up with replacement parts from the unit that had the bad LCD display. Today I loaded IE 4.01 and the Global Village version 2.5 software for the internal modem, and got a 14.4 Kbaud dialup connection to post this from the repaired parts unit.
