Giving Up on a Jalopy
As [I mentioned 3 months ago](http://www.loopinsight.com/2010/01/22/the-virtue-and-disadvantage-of-owning-a-jalopy/), I’ve got my QuickSilver G4 “Doctor Worm” sitting on the floor in my office. The fan in
the power supply burned out, so it has an external one strapped to the
outside. The on board ethernet port has been fried for as long as I can
remember. The superdrive has been scavenged to an external case for my
current computer. The computer overheats unless the case is opened and
laid out flat while running. But I still can’t bring myself to get rid of
it.
Giving up on a former workhorse is hard. Three months later and the case hasn’t moved.
