After getting some replies for old iMacs (Which I have no use for. 
Feel free to take them, post to FreeCycle NYC) I finally got an interesting reply. A Woman asked if I took laptops. I said of course. She said that she had a PowerBook that was ancient and unwanted. After further research the woman told me that it was a PowerBook 150. She said she tried to turn it on but it flickered on and off. She also had the PowerAdaptor. I finally met with the woman, and she brought me the powerbook. She asked why I wanted it, I said that I just have a small collection. As I took it up to the Apartment, there was a sticky substance near the places of the rubber feet. It's like melted plastic? it spreads... Anyone know what this is? The hinge also is very loose, and has some play to it. The Battery is dead, and I want to test out recelling it. Anyone know any tips for this?
The case is also spreading apart. I'll re screw it. A nice surprise, was that despite what the lady said, it booted into a flawless 7.5.3 Install. It has Ram Doubler installed. (Actually Tripler because it has 4mb ram installed and it Tripled it into 12
) Also The Floppy drive does not inject. The Floppy does just not stay, it goes in but it does not click it bounces right back like if there where a spring or something... Any ideas?
Thanks to listening (Well reading actually ) to my rant. I only got to play with it for like 15 Minutes and now I am in NJ and on my MSI Wind Double contraband.
Pics will be up here on Sunday to flickr. I got no Pictures yet!
