[CCC News] Assorted News 45: Cheap computers / Internet TV boxes, and a free cat...

[Michael Kean]

G'day all :)

*Cheap Computers.*

Just before my world was turned upside down, I had received a donation 
of about 7 computers and screens from Bald Blair Primary - I guess they 
have so many laptops now that they no longer needed them. I took them 
back to the office, reloaded Windows, and set them all up ready to go. 
2.6Ghz.

They're small IBM computers not much bigger than a VCR.

If you have a flat screen TV and broadband, you might be interested in 
snapping one up for use as an iView / YouTube / Internet TV / Media 
Player box. They're all ready to go - just add a cordless mouse and 
keyboard and you can enjoy TV On Demand for free. You can also attach a 
USB Hard Drive to play all those movies the kids have, etc. You can also 
store your DVD collection in them.

Pricing:
Older Pentium 4 model with 512M RAM = $40
Newer Pentium 4 model with 1GB RAM = $60
Large square 17" LCD = $35-$50 depending on condition.

*Free Cat...

*Back in 2009 a kitten appeared from nowhere and ran into our house. 
She's been here ever since.

Our other cat, Prado, wasn't too impressed; and for the first two years 
she'd attack Maddy (the kitten) whenever she could.

Recently, Maddy has outgrown Prado and turned the tables, and I've had 
to take Prado to the vet twice now to get her face repaired.

So, I need to re-home Maddy.

She's an unusual cat - quite solid, with an attitude. Prefers to eat dog 
rolls rather than canned fish, and likes milk. She's a desexed female, 
black and brown tortoiseshell in appearance. Probably a good farm cat.

Here's some photos...

If you want to give her a try, let me know :)
