Just catching back up to my laptop question. . .

John gave me a 128MB sodimm.  Thanks again John!  However, I opened the tiny 
little door and found that there is only ONE slot for memory. . .  Uh...  It 
already had a 128 in it, plus a bolted on 64MB on mainboard.  So, I can 
update it to a max of 320mb if I install a 256 sodimm.  it takes either pc100 
or pc133.

I wired another guy that does laptop repair regarding the cdrom drive.  would 
be really neat if I could get a cdrw replacement, but I don't even know if I 
can get a basic cdrom drive at this point.

Speaking of cdrom drives.  I remember seeing a cdrom cleaner on the market 
once upon a time--it would actually clean the optics with a felt wiper thing.  
That might be a really good idea, I can't image how much dust must be on that 
little lens by now.  Anyone know where a person can get one of those cleaners 
these days?

This is kind of fun!

have a great weekend everybody!
