IBM AT $130 Shipped BIN, ends soon
« on: Sat, 25 April 2015, 09:46:30 »
Surprisingly didn't see this here already...

The pictures show it hooked up an working.  It's missing the legs but I use the AT flat and it's fine.

Unfortunately, it's also missing the side leg handles, which are a pretty distinctive part of the AT's appearance.

The side handle is part of the leg piece.   If the leg's missing, the handle's missing.

I think those "ear tabs" are silly-looking and vulnerable to breakage.

They can be sanded down smooth (harder than you might expect) and they will not sit perfectly straight in the hole (which they didn't before, but it was hard to notice) and look quite normal.

Also, XT and AT types are not compatible.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
