robbyI was a little bummed on Wednesday, because some greedy bastard wanted too much money for his busted Apple Lisa. I was reading the vintage computer collecting blogs, and one wise fellow wrote that you should never pay too much for any vintage computer, and sooner or later the right computer will just come to you, because of the *Zen* of all things. Well, it just happened exactly that way. It looks like I found another Apple Lisa in San Francisco, at a fair price and I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow.

I've been driving the Plymouth van, in part to troubleshoot it, and now I'm finding that it's got an electrical problem. Last night, it stalled without warning, in a bad place, but a Good Samaritan helped me push it out of traffic. Later I got it towed home.
This morning, I spent 3-1/2 hours patching up the wiring and then drove it the 30 miles to work, with a fire extinguisher at hand, saving myself a monumental tow charge. My patching is just an emergency fix, and the reason for the overloaded wiring is unknown. I won't drive it again until I figure out what's up.
