Hello, Carol.

An entertaining little story: when I go into thrift stores, I bring three
things with me: my Leatherman multi-tool, my power supply tester (about $20 at
Office Depot; a small black box) and a multimeter that fits in my pockets. Yes,
I actually open up the computer, look at it and test it right there in the
store before I would buy it.

Sometimes I get strange looks, but people see me with that equipment, they
figure I must know what I'm doing.

However, no more computer shopping for me.  I've got 10 computers (remember,
three months ago, I moved up here with just two :) already and I don't have
room now for the ones I do have.

I've rarely gotten burnt buying electronics from thrift stores, but I guess
it's because I know what I'm looking for and will do some diagonstic work on it
before I buy it.  Even for a $10 computer.
