I'd like to clarify that it's actually been 17 days (2 1/2 weeks) since 
Tomo texted me back. All of my messages have been getting delivered; I 
guess he's just choosing to ignore me. I don't understand why. It's 
really upsetting me.

EDIT: I made a mistake looking at my message. It's been 11 days (1 1/2) 
weeks, which still upsets me. It hurts.

Still, I woke up to see that I got another donation today for my ADM-5 
project! Thanks, Arne! I got the list of capacitors that I need for the 
video board yesterday, which was like $5 + shipping, so that'll be the 
easy bit. I was enumerating parts and bits that I needed and decided I'd 
wait on some more money to start, but thanks to my donors I think I 
should be able to start soon. First step is fix the video board, second 
step is getting the VGA -> CGA converter working (with a sync stripper). 
From there it's keyboard, power supply, and voltage regulators. I still 
need more money, but good progress is being made! I should definitely go 
ahead and order most of the electronics that I need on Mouser though to 
save on shipping.

Also I posted on Mastodon the other day that I needed to rebuild the 
battery for my PowerBook. Well, I don't actually think that I do because 
the battery I have seems to last 2-3 hours off the charger. What I DO 
need to do is rebuild the PRAM battery (so that it holds time and turns 
on without being plugged into the wall), but that's a different project 
for a different time. (Although, I did rebuild the PRAM battery before, 
so I'm not exactly sure why it doesn't work. Maybe the batteries were 
bad or the soldering tabs weren't attached perflectly. It does seem to 
hold charge for just a little bit, so I'm really not sure).

That's all for now . < . I may post again later. I have no classes on 
Friday, but I did promise to help move a couch sometime today.

Bye!
