About two years ago, the hard drive on my Packard Bell 1666 bit the dust. I'm finally ready to pitch the whole thing into a Dumpster, but I thought I'd put it up for grabs here, since the rest of the machine is still in working order.
Granted, this is an old computer and it's not good for much more than word processing and Solitaire, but if someone can manage to put some part of it to better use than landfill, it's worth me making this post, right?
I suppose, since it was my first computer, I should have it bronzed. Maybe it could be some sort of trophy at Geek Prom.
Anyway, in addition to the free computer, I have a few perfectly functional accessories that I hope I can raise a few dollars on. Please comment if you have any use for the items in the following list. I will part with them cheaply (or perhaps even freely, if you've bought me a lot of drinks over the years).
* A mouse with two extension cables, for an awesome total length of 24 feet! You could point-and-click from all the way across the room! Wow!
* A keyboard with one extension cable. Sorry, you could only type from halfway across the room with this.
* Iomega Zip 100 drive. Barely used at all.
* UMAX Astra 2000P scanner. Barely used at all.
Buy now or Dumpster dive for them later. Thank you for shopping Perfect Duluth Day.
