Hi all,
Today, a long-time customer surprised me with a biiig box full
of their "old stuff". OKOK, that wasnt too smart of him.. after
our coffee chat, I didnt do much besides going through the box'
contents *evil grin*
Shitty thing is... (a) the battery pack seems to have died, and
(b) I lost my copy of the SystemCD for reinstalling the system
onto it. Not a very big deal, I guess, but having it would be
nice.
Ha! DEC noticed a problem with these battery packs "locking up"
after extensive periods of no activity, so they came up with a
small utility (revive.com) to "revive" the batt pack. It worked,
too.. my battery came back to life, and, after a full charge, is
as good as were it new.. !
Lappy is not a portable, ultra-light TCP/LAT/Serial/X11 terminal :)
(muhaha, with 802.11b WLAN ;-)
Cheers,
