Lately, I’ve been obsessed with putting Linux on old computers just s so I could I see if it was possible to squeeze out a few more “usage miles” out of them. This past weekend, I decided to hit the thrift stores and the local flea market to see if I could find someone selling away their retired laptops.
I did manage to find a few stalls selling old computers, but I didn’t find that many that had old laptops. The one that I did find had an over inflated sense of value towards his merchandise where the cheapest laptop he had was about $400. For that price, I could get a brand new laptop at Wal-Mart, so I decided to move on.
But my trip wasn’t a total loss. I manage to buy some freshly roasted peanuts there. I love roasted peanuts.
