DeaconMaking the most of the dotted i
I keep thinking about the Pad. How much was it and what were the specs?
I got I got my T480 for ~$125 shipped, 8th gen Intel, 16GB ram, 256GB ssd, no dgpu or touch.
Its a workhorse and I use it regularly, mostly for web and git+kate as my editor.
Where’d you find yours? all I can think to check is eBay and I have a hunch there are cheaper prices elsewhere than what they’re offering.
PC “recycling” service nearby
Aka, pick up replaced hardware from businesses and resell. Not complaining, its my preferred approach for a few reasons.
Craigslist/FB marketplace are where you’ll find the best deals. I’ve never had good deals with recyclers.
Like 3 years ago I got my T14 Gen. 1 for $200, and last year I got my Gen. 3 for $250. Both machines new enough to still be in warranty. All from Marketplace.
Bucket o’ Blood! Love that place. Played a incredibly fun new year’s show with Marc Ruvolo at fireside bowl. Great times.
Oh shit, one of my favorite shows of my Teens was at Fireside; Elliott with Six Going On Seven opening for them. I love that venue.
What is the connection to Bucket O’ Blood though? It’s my favorite record store in the area because their tastes overlap so much with my own, I always end up finding something I don’t know I needed there.
Marc Ruvolo started it. He has since sold it, it appears. I moved away some years ago. But he was and is a great performer and producer.
FireWire400I’m pretty much done stickerbombing my old T540p, didn’t really set out to do it but it happened.
You’ve got some cool ones on there, though!
