hi all,not much to say, I am just learning to read schematics and repair things. i started out with CB raduis and that got me interested in linear amplifiers for them and now moving on to power supplies and MB's.

Hey there. The name's Gumcat, you can call me, Gumcat. I'm hear to mooch off of the many years of wisdom you aged folk have shoved into this treasure trove. I can be described with many words, but for simplicity we shall refer to me as a leech coming on here to suck your techno info blood.

I'm in my mid twenties, single, really like pringles. I'm a bonafide 5/10 if you are facing away from me, IQ in the triple digit range.

I became addicted to computers when I was a young pup tearing apart machines I didn't know how to put back together. It was then my journey started. My addiction to specs that I don't need. Upgrades I also don't need. Back up computers I don't use.

I went through many eras, I remember thinking wow dual cores are so cool, and then lusting after quad cores when I saw that awesome hyperthreading illicit stat sheet. Then I realized that Gpus were cooler than CPUS, so I started lusting after them.

I became disillusioned with the world, I realized that all electronics were computers and thus consoles were just cripple computers, really hurt my heart when I understood that the gamecube wasn't some black box of witchcraft pooping out frames, but a power pc computer with an ati gpu. The magic was gone, but I still couldn't curb my addiction to upgrading.

My current obsession is trying to see how far I can take a m6600, a 12 year old laptop. Why? I don't know. I might be projecting my own feelings of inevitable outdatedness. I think I need help. Nevertheless my journey has brought me to your forum.

I need the m6600 bios cuz I slapped a m3000m into my machine and my machine essentially looked me dead in the eyes and said "#*&^ you" and died (replace that censored stuff with whatever you feel). I felt bad.

So here I am, joining all you wise and wizened technophiles from yonder years to get those sweet resources.

[ApacheKyiv]

Hello verybody,
I'm "ApacheKyiv", a Ukrainian dude in California.
I like cool tech - computers, gadgets, tools, etc. To be cool they don't have to be new - I loved my Toshiba e805 (wifi version) way back in 2006, and was happy to get a Motorola barcode scanner with WM 6.5 half a year ago. Over the last few years, I had my hands on a 15+ different not very modern, but still cool laptops.
Currently, I'm buying used laptops (mostly Thinkpads) in different conditions to repair/refurbish them and send them to Ukraine as humanitarian aid for a nonprofit org that helps the Ukrainian army with equipment.
