I have paid an insane amount of taxes this year (while I haven't actually earned that much), so I should get quite a lot of money back in the end of 2012. I wish I could get at least half of the money back already.

never had a job

forever a vagavond

I didn't get a tax return this year; I ended up owning money to them this time

Anyway, I got off work early today because there was nothing for me to do. Now, to figure out how to spend the rest of my afternoon...

@Stewart: Is it always that humid there? Makes me think of my time in the Keys.... o__o

@Kari: I REALLY love those first two pattern sets and the 1950s dresses are really neat too - someday I'll commission you to make me one. x) Though an apron would probably be more practical... (I need one of those for light around-the-house work) .o.

@Pentium: You should come to New England, we have a lot of cheap Macs floating around here. xD Heck, I know I guy who found a working G5 iMac at the dump... all he had to buy for it was a new HDD.

It seems like if I where go anywhere else in the country, I'd likely find a Mac a lot easier. In my area, the last Mac I saw for sale prior to my iMac G3 was a Macintosh SE\30 about 3 years ago, that was missing the boot disk.

This place is a no-man's land for any kind of computer that isn't powered by a Celeron

my windows me laptop runs on a pentium III 912mhz, which to this day i cant find another processor like this one. it isnt overclocked, it works well, and it read the same on all the stuff i test it on.

[Nichi]

That is very unusual; like the 666Mhz Pentium III I stumbled onto one time. I didn't even think Intel would have produced one that ran at that speed

Alright, gotta setup a PC-DC server... 56K is back again!

[Krizonar]

I should probably get back to that non-working computer now.

But I no waaaaanaaa

[Nichi]

It's a bit weird; being off early today. I really didn't do anything of importance between then and the time I normally get off; just browsed around eBay in hopes of maybe finding a decent Mac fall through the cracks and end at a dirt cheap price.

@Kriz: Would you do it for a Scooby Snack, if I had a way to send them through the internet?

[Krizonar]

...maybe

scooby doo fruit snacks are pretty good

[Nichi]

Then I should invent a machine to allow me to send things through the internet...

Anyway, I watched as that Mac Mini ended; ending at 3 times my original bid (I watched somebody snipe it in the last 5 seconds; taking it up to $150). Thus, I continue on my way...although I stumbled onto a MacBook that seems promising; it is working, although the battery no longer holds a charge and the disc drive is supposedly dead (It could be some dust build-up preventing it from recognizing a disc, though). It has less than 1 day left, so we'll see how it pans out...

[Nichi]
