Going to be collecting an older MacBook for FREE.

Here's the catch: "...the hard drive and processor are fried due to a spill of wine..."

I can get a new hard drive cheap, and try giving the mobo a wash perhaps? (not sure, heard lots about washing older mobos, but I'm not sure about new ones, especially laptop ones.)

I'll have a better idea when I actually have it, but it sounds like I can get this working without too much trouble/cost. w00t!
