The Wallstreet's gettin' an upgrade...

Not some crazy 500MHz upgrade, but anupgrade all the same. Actually it might just get replaced...

How much do you want to bet the PRAM battery just needs a boost or replacement? All it takes is a few dormant weeks and I have to leave my current wallstreet plugged in without batteries for a day or two before it will boot.

I'm betting this thing's the same way. If not, I'll just part it out and re-sell it. The LCD alone will probably do better than $50.

My "snipe" probably pissed off the guy who bid $0.88 less than me the same second I did.

Oh yes...

I did forget to mention that the Wallstreet I have right now was built of borged parts, from 2 different Wallstreets. One I bought from flojoe here, the other from a co-worker, and I had to buy a heatsink because neither of them came with one.

Currently, it's a 12.1" Screen, 233, 256MB, 10GB setup, the sound board has never worked (one had the power plug snapped off and broken, the other one had a good power connector but problems with the sound board part)

Between the two, I had 3 batteries (one garbage), a 20X CD-ROM module and the optional 56k modem.

I should be able to scrounge stuff together to make a decent beast out of what I have now and the one I basically stole on eBay.

At the least you should move

At the least you should move whatever good parts to your sticker-charged case. Wink

That seller got owned.

All the wallstreet needed was a PMU Reset (Ctrl-Fn-Shift Power)

So he sold a fully functional G3 Powerbook for $50.

It's overall just a nicer 'book. I might just pick up some more stickers and re-do it.

Now if only NetBSD wasn't being evil when I try to install it.
