Well as long as we're talking computers... I've a 2005 Macbook Pro that I've been thinking about fixing up for myself. It still works great, but the battery's totally dead and the HD is only 80 Gb and getting sloooooow. I was thinking of swapping out the battery, swapping out the HD for a SSD, upping the RAM (i think I can go to....4 or 8 gig?) and upgrading to the newest Mac OSX. That way I could still use it for surfing the web, writing, schoolwork, etc.
Hopefully I haven't offended anyone by bringing up Macs, lol.
