Defective unit. Return yourself to factory immediately.

24 parallel strings of two transistor radio batteries each. Total: 48 batteries.

Um, < }B^)

I got a bunch of Gateway laptops, and they run on a 19V supply. I’m tempted to try it...

If the plugs fit it should be okay. One volt won't make any difference. It probably has some sort of internal regulator. Make sure they have the current available. If they don't your printer will do funny things.

Did you bury them next to the 55 gallon drums of Polychlorinated biphenyls?

No. Next to the Xylene.

[djf]

Well, it works!

Didn’t even need to change the plug.
Thing is, I blew up a Gateway laptop once, a 12V unit, when I put 13V to it. So sometimes the stuff can be real, real sensitive.

Now I get to go buy a new color cartridge...

I find it hard to believe that was the problem. Most power supplies aren't that well regulated. It's the internals that regulate the voltage and current. I would venture to guess that the 19V was unregulated or even putting out AC instead of DC.

I only commented because I'm moving and needed to get rid of 30 computers, plus monitors and other peripherals.

photostitched left image, notice the replireplication

Burying 30+ computers in Massholechusetts was not an option for me, as much as I wish it were.

Besides, we're gaining on Jersey for per capita number of deathpits, it might raise suspicions if I were caught digging a big nocturnal hole in some isolated place.

The city wouldn't take them when they found out I was a business. I was shocked that "recyclers" wanted to charge money. Prices for "taking them off my hands" were $10 per box and $20 per monitor when I first started calling around.

I finally found a place that was happy take them for free, regardless of operating condition, no questions asked. I liked the last part.

I should be out at my storage unit right now, sorting more 'puter stuff to throw out, er, recycle, but I'm goofing on FR instead.

p.s. I can joke about Jersey, because I are one.
Well, my father's side of the family was.
Hoboken, Fairview, Neptune, Brick. Oh, I forgot parts of my mom's side, Cherry Hill, Brigantine. And I almost forgot, I "woke up" when we were living in Haddonfield. And NY stole Staten Island, so Fort Wadsworth oughta count too. I really loved being a towheaded tyke in Fort Wadsworth.

Now, let's talk 'bout Mister Xylene and his hydrocarbon cousins in da fambly tree.

Know any good dumping, er, toxic waste disposal sites on my way South below the Mason Dixon line?

I seem to remember the expression "Pine Barrens".... LOL

Those pics are being sent to terrorist camps all over the world. The offers should start rolling in soon.

[suffering_fools]

I don’t get it

[raybbr]

Isn’t xylene used in making some sort of bombs? It was meant to convey the idea that terrorists would be willing to buy it from you.

You lived on Wadsworth eh? Small world. I did too, in 1963 - 65 when they built the Narrows Bridge. Went to Egbert JHS. It was my dad’s last duty station before separating from the Army. I thought it was a very cool place to live. Lots of stuff for a kid to get into especially because of the bridge. Jersey was always home base though. I know there’s not much difference politically speaking between NJ & Mass, but somehow I couldn’t imagine myself ever surviving in Massachusetts, without facing a felony murder conviction for putting some howling moonbat out of his misery.
