One 2000 laptop, used, in fair condition, with power cord, two batteries, CD drive (no floppy), external keyboard (necessary), wired USB optical mouse (not necessary), brand-new replacement NIC, brand-new USB wireless adapter, a couple lengths of cat-5 patch cable. A couple hours labor, intermittently sprinkled with phrases such as "bloody buggering fuckweasel". $10 change in "blood money" (from plasma donation). The price of a pair of tires (new). One external CD drive (read-only). An ancient laptop of many secrets and not much hard drive space. $60 in 20s, from yard sale proceeds. 4 pints Ben & Jerry's (1 Cherry Garcia, 3 New York Super Fudge Chunk). This is the way the Good Ol' Boys Network side of the economy works (where "boys" is gender-neutral).
