Laptop Woes

[Stephen Partington]

I have a D620 that is in pretty good shape. The batteries are just dead. It
also has a fresh ubuntu install on it but i would guess you just will swap
the drive and move on.

It is the Core duo with 2GB ram. Let me know if you want it.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
