I <3 Berkeley
I've mentioned in the past how Berkeley's streets become littered with abandoned furniture, computer components, etc as semesters wax and wane. I usually examine the computer components but ultimately leave them be. I really just don't have a use for 256mb of PC133 ram anymore.
A few nights ago I saw a Laserjet 1020 just chilling on the side of the street. It looked like it was in really good shape, and I figured I'd pick it up once I was finished with my errands. I ended up picking it up later in the day and it's been sitting around in my place for the past few days. I just got around to plugging it in and testing it, since I realized I need to print 30 some pages of articles to read for tomorrow.
I presumed, when I saw it on the street, that it was probably out of toner and abandoned. I was wrong. It works flawlessly.
Hi free laser printer. Thanks for letting me print out my 10 page articles for class without worrying about paying for ink, you're the best!
