moiracoon made me very happy today. Thank you, dear one. *hugs*

wingywoof, can you tell me more about Midwest Computer Recyclers? I might have a crapload of stuff to get rid of, including a lot that's still at my parents' house from years back. Like 486 and Pentium classic era stuff.

Finally,

sabrinageek, if you get a chance and have any contacts, might you be able to point me toward a resource to sell (or donate) my Commodore hardware? I wouldn't be looking for a lot of money for it. Something more than nothing would be nice though, if I can manage such a feat. I have 3 C-128s, a C-64 (which I really hate to part with because I literally grew up with the damn thing, but I just can't justify having it around when I never ever ever use it, much like my videodisc player) and a few modems and printers and things.

Looks like No-LJ-James' long-term girlfriend and her brother may be buying my drums! Yay! Also, as well as family dinner on Wednesday as usual, we are going to sit around and watch the Twilight Rifftrax, then play Master of Orion 2 while they're still in town from Lansing, Michigan. Good times! 'Specially since I'm off work on Thursday!

Is anyone interested in a vintage Marantz stereo reciever? It needs a new power button, and the speaker jacks need to be attached; the attachments on the block of jacks broke at some point and it's loose in the cabinet. Other than that, it worked great last time I used it. About ten years ago.... To date its period of use, I used to unscrew the metal face plate (because things were built decently back then) and put a Magic: The Gathering card packet wrapper behind the power button hole to hold the button down, then screw it back on. That probably would have been the wrapper from an Antiquities booster pack. Wow; I guess that makes it about fifteen years. Yikes. (It's funny; I just looked up Marantz on Wikipedia. The picture of the '70s model receiver looks almost exactly like mine. Minus the fire damage, of course....)

And tonight, I'll be over at

serinthia's place to continue our anime marathon. This week is rapidly getting better, even with my missing laptop bag and ten-ride train pass.
