I went to math contest today with my high school's math team. On the bus ride back, I was talking with a friend of mine about computers. I asked him if he had anything interesting laying around. He told me that when his family had lived in an apartment complex, he had rescued a working Mac Plus with keyboard, mouse, and external hard drive from the dumpster. It had been sitting around since then; he had no way to transfer any files onto it because of its 800K floppy drive. He also told me that he had two NeXT sound boxes that he could not use, and that he could give me one. He also had an extra 13w3 video cable left over from a dead SGI monitor that he was willing to part with. In exchange for all of this, I will give him my partially-functional Power Mac 6100/60 for him to play with. We will make the trade sometime this weekend.While we were talking, another member of the math team overheard our discussion. He told me he had a Umax clone with a corrupt installation of system software. I agreed to loan him an external SCSI CD-ROM drive and an OS 8.1 CD so he could rehabilitate his machine.

Top sophomore. 2nd place Algebra, 1st place Team, 1st place Geometry, 5th place Calculators and Computers (pretty good, considering I don't know any C). quote:

It's all just a matter of asking the right questions and knowing the right people, I guess. We have a large university here in Columbia, and many people (including me) have gotten old computer stuff that MU has discarded. It's a plus that my dad works at MU, so I get to search the "computer trash cart" before they throw stuff out. Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert
