Sorry for consecutive posting but couldn`t upload the pic`s in an edit.
It seems i dont even get asked now if i want the old unloved machines that people are forever offering me......they just leave them at the door now with notes attached.
Judging by the state of this latest heap i`m not surprised mind you. Not only is it quite ancient but it`s probably in the worst state of repair i`ve seen so far.....as far as actual hardware is concerned anyway.

Rarely are any of the unloved machines i`ve had pass through my hands physically broken in any way and asides from the odd knackered jack or kaput RAM/Drive etc it`s usually always just software issues the machines in question suffer from.
The hinges on this sad old thing though were completely ripped out with the screen inverter hanging out the side like a panting dogs tongue. The bottom the the screen plastics were held together with sellotape and the solitary USB socket has somehow been mangled beyond repair.
Considering the age of the thing i`d never even contemplate buying the parts to fix the thing properly so there was only one thing for it.......
Upgrade the sellotape................. to gaffer tape.
