Hello Kitty says "Hi"Lazy binning day, with a bit of a Hello Kitty theme, which figures for Vancouver. First a can of pasta on top of a container bin, waiting in plain sight for anyone who wanted it. Then an older Apple Macintosh laptop -- I think a 2006-ish PowerPC processor aluminium PowerBook G4,, which was in a garbage bag, and then most of the AC adapter, which was in another bag, and the rest of the AC adapter, from another bag --- at least they were all in the same dumpster. But, I was in a catch-and-release mood -- not with the pasta. That was a keeper -- Japanese cartoon characters have forgotten more about pasta than Italians will ever know!

I gave the PowerBook to a bike binner who declared he could crack any password, and when I said it was PPC- not Intel-based, he countered by saying he had a program that would allow him to "install Intel on it." And he was sure it would be faster than his tower G4 -- I was only sure it would be easier to carry around in a backpack. I gave him everything, 'cept the fly, I saved that for my next post.
