Wiser councils prevailed
And I managed to buy a new power-supply for my Pismo. As the man said who sold me the thing (it's the whiter iBook version rather than the more bronze Powerbook version of the Yoyo), the Pismo is a beautiful machine. Pity about the rotten LCD panel...
But at least we'll have money for a small laser-printer this January. And given that we're still using the HP Deskjet 500 we bought for my 386sx twelve years ago, a printer that has seen about sixteen computers pass, we may well feel it's high time.
