Coming to you from a 1994 Mac Powerbook

pseydtonneDo not ask why I'm up so late.
I have under my fingers a PowerBook 520c (the 'c' stands for color) with a 33 MHz 040 chip (Motorola's equivalent of an Intel 486), 20 meg of RAM, a 250-odd meg hard drive, and no working batteries. I have to keep this plugged in, and the keyboard is very stiff. It's still turning out to be a fabulous web surfer. I've put a fresh copy of iCab (a skinny web browser from Germany that can keep it around 5 meg of RAM and still have time to tell me every html-code error it found) and a re-install of Apple's OpenTransport software for TCP/IP resolution.
It's nice watching videos from the Eighties on VH1 Classic while typing on a computer from the early Nineties to upload via cable modem. Ah, I'm so spoiled by my scavenging.
No, I shan't try running an MP3 player on this laptop, nor shall I grow big hair like all these old videos feature.
-gawking and half-asleep, Ps/d
