A quick trip to the thrift shop today saw me hauling home a classic ($3), an apple onescanner ($5) and an unopened copy of Norton essentials for powerbook v1.1 ($2).At this point it seems like the classic might be destined to become a fishtank. The case is almost immaculate, but when switched on the screen shows the dreaded checkerboard pattern of death. Cmd-opt-x-o doesn't seem to help. I guess I'll pull it apart and check for loose RAM etc. before making any drastic hacks. I'm about to give the scanner a test, so wish me luck...
Cheers!

Oooh! Nice find! Keep an eye on the SAF though. Sounds like you're starting to brush up against the limits....which can be dangerous, trust me...-------------------------- "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" - Unkown Warrior maclover5

In my case the SAF is limited to a constant simmer. Whenever the pot starts to boil over a quick reminder about the FRIGGIN FULL SIZE FLOOR LOOM THATS BEEN USED ONCE AND IS HOGGING HALF MY GARAGE SPACE is normally enough to restore a proper perspective to things.Cheers!

HAR! That's almost as perfect as being able to point out that the "old camera" you'd wanted half your life and paid $1,500 for, had appreciated to somewhere between $20k and $30k a couple of years later (before the Japanese economy melted down) and that you had been hounded mercilessly (even up to the edge reacting with uncivilized behavior  ) until you grudgingly sold it for a $50 profit after owning it for just 6 months.  On second thought . . . having that freakin' loom physically present to point to might actually be better!   . . . unless of course . . . she sells it!
