  That fat PP looks a little on the short side.

  Dumb? I just bought an IDE PCI card and a 2.5” floppy USB adapter. I have a bunch of old 52x dvd/Bluray drives, some are IDE. Thought about buying one, but the internal 5.25 are well over $100!? Shocking, they used to be $35. Nobody needs them anymore. I only bought the 2.5” adapter to avoid throwing away the drive, I don’t know where my 1.44mb floppies are. So now I have an old PC with IDE optical drives and a 2.5” floppy.

      One number away from the correct one.

  I love being poor and disabled in America.

  A working PC would be nice, but I’ve learned to keep my hopes and dreams nice and low.

    Hey, I don’t know if that’s an option for you but here (GER) we have non-profit organisations which provide PCs and laptops for people who need them. Maybe there’s one in you area, too.

    Alternatively many IT companies take client PCs back when customer companies get a new generation. Maybe you can save one before they get thrown out vor get one for cheap.

    Just my 2 cents. Best of luck!

  Adjustable dumbbells.

  I work at a place with an onsite gym and am afforded an hour of PT everyday.
