My dear old laptop - restored after being given to me initially with the
|
||
|
|
screen hanging off by its data connector - is becoming hard to maintain,
|
||
|
|
so I'll eventually need spare bits for it, and since it's many years old,
|
||
|
|
crucial spares - like the power adaptor, and the drive module for the
|
||
|
|
display - are a bit hard to obtain. Hence I wish to build up a stock of
|
||
|
|
replacement guts for it. Redundant parts mean reliability.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Therefore, kind reader, if you're tossing your old, used, beloved and
|
||
|
|
recently upgraded, Dell Latitude XPi P75D (or in fact any in that series,
|
||
|
|
with or without cdrom included, so we're talking Latitudes up to P166 I
|
||
|
|
guess) - regardless of its condition (though it helps if the display
|
||
|
|
works, the processor hasn't been pulled out, etc etc), - then please
|
||
|
|
consider the possibility of being paid a little by me to take it off your
|
||
|
|
hands. It would naturally be more convenient if you were somewhere in
|
||
|
|
Sydney, Australia, because this is where I live. If course if you just
|
||
|
|
want to be rid of the thing and know it's going elsewhere than landfill,
|
||
|
|
and feel like posting it to me, well, that's fine too. I'm not comfortably
|
||
|
|
wealthy. I do not use Windows, or possess a license for it, so I will
|
||
|
|
delete that off the harddisk if you donate it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If it happens that I eventually obtain a huge stock of these parts then
|
||
|
|
they will become a source for other people with dying Latitudes, who find
|
||
|
|
themselves in a similar situation. Spares help us all. Landfill doesn't
|
||
|
|
help anyone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please email me at predator at cat dot org dot au, and we'll see if we
|
||
|
|
can't come to an arrangement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Live long and prosper!
