it was also fun to roll up outside a friend's house and message them on icq to say you were outside. totally normal 17 year old rolling around town with a laptop, power inverter, and cell cables strung all over the passenger seat.

Beeftweeter posted:airport cards were all orinocos all airport cards were orinoco *golds*. also turns out the only difference between a silver and gold was firmware. also also turns out if you put a silver in an ibook's internal slot (by leaving the case off and finagling poo poo) you could run a firmware update that flashed it into an orinoco gold. a department at my university saved a bunch of money buying silvers in bulk then had a student flashing them to gold on his ibook.
