I should look at the RF modulator in the nicer-looking one next.

But for the desperately modded one... Woohoo!

The trouble with trying to keep a desk organized is that everything suddenly grows legs and wanders off.

*whew* After inspection and testing, I can't find anything new wrong. The motherboard screws aren't original, and one of them just dug into the plastic standoff wrong.

TFW you hear an unsettling *crunch* after you line up all the motherboard's mounting holes and start turning the first screw in.

After so much Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Buck Rogers, & who remembers what else, when I think of starships, I still think of these real-world proposals shown in Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

You're all good people, no matter what you think of yourselves.

I read your hurt & sadness, but I never know what to say because so often I can't read it until an eternity has passed after you write it. I feel like showing any acknowledgment without saying anything meaningful will be like poking an open wound.

I'll probably never meet you, but I still care about you. Your pain is valid. Choosing to share it is an act of bravery.

My silence is my failing, not yours.

Be sure to follow my sound cloud!

No, really. It's a cloud, it's making weird tooting sounds, and it's kind of creeping me out. Follow it and find out what it wants from me.

Toshiba T4600C repair [+?] 

I may have underestimated the pre-stretch circumference. I found someone who sells Matsushita FDD belts, giving the circumference as 18 cm, & for about $12 all told. Not bad if it's right, & I'll find out in just a few days.

But if that's right, then the 25 year old belt stretched out another 5 cm in the drive. That's a fantastic amount, but since I pulled them out so easily that they almost fell out on their own, it's also plausible.
