Hmm..what to do this summer for RC?

I didn't get enough takers for the Battle Chess tournament (although if anyone wants to play me via modem sometime I'd be up for it; simply send me a PM and we can arrange for a chess match) so I'm thinking of a Plan B. I'm tutoring with a 150 again this year, but used that as last year's project so I can't re-use it.

I may just do some restoration work on my rinky-dink Classic. I've had it for almost six years now and it needs a little love. The floppy drive only reads 1.4MB disks; it won't recognize any 400K or 800K disk. (And no, it's not some modified USB drive, it's the original Sony). It currently has a donor logic board; the original needs re-capped. The case is the color of dijon mustard. Furthermore, it has a Revision A logic board, which amazingly still works. I'm thinking "Extreme Mac Makeover: Scott's Classic Edition" is going to be my project, but I haven't committed to it just yet. I'll keep thinking of other possibilities over the weekend although I'd like to get that Classic cleaned up soon.
