Outbound Notebook
Posted by: geeko on 2009-10-06 10:16:00
i got an outbound notebook at a nearby thrift-shop :beige: , i think it came w/ its power cord, but the power supply does not have the kangaroo on it. i cannot figure out how to power it on, but it is still very cool. i need more info on this notebook, if anyone knows how to turn it on, please let me know

Does it have the straw?

Posted by: geeko on 2009-10-06 10:19:24

You conjugated that verb incorrectly. Fail.

That or it's an Australian thing.

Cool conquest anyways - plan on taking any pictures?

Posted by: geeko on 2009-10-06 16:24:05

I guess he meant "heats up".

Also, no one cares.

I'm pretty sure you have to upload them somewhere else and link to them.

Interesting, Apple had status lights, but they did away with them in later years. :-/

Posted by: geeko on 2009-10-13 14:34:38
yeah, but i have know clue what the status lights mean

Posted by: John8520 on 2009-10-13 14:41:56
I would guess (from left to right) Turned on/Standby, AC Connected, Battery Charging/Status.

I think I remember reading how to turn it on in MacWorld MacSecrets 5th Edition for some reason. I know that they do talk about that laptop in that book and the straw.
