Now I understand why Craigslist isn’t the place anymore where both seller and buyer are happy. Buying and selling used stuff is all about making the big bucks.

HALLOWHEELIN' THIS SATURDAY!!!

I keep finding these beautiful devices at Value Village. This Thinkpad T61P works beautifully, even with an Intel Centrino processor. The ram is maxed out at 8GB and it still runs like a champ. At some point I'll probably replace the HDD with an SSD and reinstall. Other than that it makes a wonderful writing device.
My only pain point is that neither shift key works. Don't know the issue yet.
Alas distance makes it impossible for me to help you, but hilariously I -- someone in the middle of the #Canadian #prairies with zero access to sea or ocean, DO happen to have a #sextant.
The story of this is amusing (IMO) so please bear with me while I share. 🙂
So one day I'm at a chain #charity #secondhand goods store (#ValueVillage, in particular) and I find this weird triangular-ish item randomly among the less-categorised items.
At first I assume it is a toy: I don't keep up with modern kids' #TV or #film franchises but it looks like the sort of weird item that might get designed as some sort of #alien #weapon, especially as it was made of very dark plastic.

Thrift store score, nice.
