m'kay, I'm looking for a cheap crappy laptop to get me on the school's wireless LAN. So all it needs is a 200 MHz Pentium (or K5/6/whatever), 32 MB RAM, and 1.5 GB HDD. The kicker? Including shipping, $75 or less. Of course it needs everything like a CD-ROM, battery, perfect screen (size doesn't matter as long as it doesn't look retardedly small), and AC adapter.
*waits for the laughter to die down*
Anything good on eBay/somewhere else REPUTABLE?
You want to hack school computers?
Eh, no, Mindsurf put a network in there with a bunch of iPaqs as an experiment or something, so a bunch of people with laptops got wireless cards and go online with it. There's no file server or anything, I just want to surf during English :D
$75? Are you stoned?
They are hceap but not THAT cheap
Why would anybody want to modify their grades? You get what you earn.Quote:

I found quite a few on eBay, but they all had one tiny quirk that spoiled each one (no battery, no CD, too expensive shipping)...
You'll be lucky if you find anything perfect for that sort of a price, yeah there getting cheaper, and second hand models are cheaper naturally, but there comes a point in time where ppl start to give up on sellin simply because there worth more to them than they could get back
I think for what your after, you should at least double your price range (at least)
Time to start another money-making scheme :D
I'm trying to install vBulletin for somebody at those forums for $30, that's a start :)
You are cheap aren't you, and I don't mean money-wise :p
Thanks...smartass :p
You earn what you hack:pQuote:

Arrrg, I just want to go online during class and fail high school :mad:

You should stay in high school, you don't want to end up with a sh** job. You don't want to end up kicking yourself because you work in a job you didn't want.Quote:

Could try
1. Do you have a local Trading Post newspaper....good for a laugh occasionally like this one guy trying to sell a 486 for $600.
2. Try your local hardware store..sometimes they have trade ins floating around out back..
3. Try an Apple store, they do trade ins....it's Apple though...
4. Put an add in your local paper...poor student seeks obsolete hardware type of thing
Hope it gives you ideas.....
Jethro,
That is a waste why would they still be selling 486's? I can understand ppl fixing them ready for some charity though.
they are commonly used as routers
Or print queue handlers...Quote:

Checked out the local second hand laptop sales place for ya...figured if cheao enough just send you one. Cheapest was a PII Toshiba at $600 Oz.......
That's like $300 USD? :(
Do you have computer conventions near your house?
they have old laptops here for about $120
yeah those are the best places to get computer parts and stuff.
they have ones like an hour from where i am, they sold old laptops there for about 100$
They just had one about a week ago here...the laptops aren't bad either. old thinkpads usually.
we never have conventions here, and i don't know why, around here would be great for cooling a computer, so damn cold right now, :p. We have a bunch of computer stores around with pretty compatent technitions (who know what you are talking about when you ask for a part). Once i went to a computer store and as an afterthought asked if they had linux,the sales person said, "whats linux", i replied, "an operating system" the salesperson then said "for what". I just left :p. I also finally got around to buying a new fan and i am going to stick it on in about 10 minutes. right now i have MBM running so i can see the difference it makes.
Yeah, there's one in Gaithersburg every few weeks which is 45 mins away, butQuote:

1. I don't want my dad to know that I'm trying to acquire a laptop :D
2. I'm doing relatively crappy in school, 4 Cs and 1 A (the A was in Java :rolleyes: )
I don't know how anyone can get a bad mark in computer class, I am in the IB computers class and it is supposedly impossible, i have a 97 in it right now :p so i have 1 A+ (HL computers) 2B's (my English classes, grade 11 & 12) and 1 C (calculus, which probably isn't a C any more since i just had a test i think i got about 78% on) and i really have no clue where my physics mark is
I literally written more than 1000 lines of code in there this year so far. I've been working on her home page (MrsKramer.com, see sig), and learning PHP in the process :)
so...your subconcious is telling you NOT to get a laptop :pQuote:

Keep waiting... :D :D
Well vBulletin has paid for itself and I just got an awesome offer at the forums there, so the limit may be raised to a slightly better $180 :cool:
How did it pay for itself?

Probably half way there already...put an add in your local paper..
doing crappy in school and u still wanna surf in english? lol
Well, surf discretely :D
I think a laptop would be benificial to my grades, since my notes well tend to be either non-existant or horrilby illegable (illegable writing is my trademark and the class groans when the teacher asks me to put something on the board :p). If i bought a laptop i could take notes in electronic form, and i can type faster than i write too :p
m'kay, the price limit has been raised to a staggering, dumbfounding $150 now :D
Same here, I've got a Palm and the Palm Portable Keyboard (it cost $100 :rolleyes: ) and all I have to do now is just look at the teacher when I have the Palm in my hand, and she'll nod, meaning "Yes, you can go find an IR printer and print what you just typed" :pQuote:
