Lines: 15 My son just went off to college, with his beloved //c in hand, and the first call I received was a sorrowful, "My computer is obsolete!". He had purchased a 1200 baud modem, only to discover that his machine, which has done everything he's needed to date (word process, pascal, c), cannot intelligently converse with the machines on the UCSD campus, because of an outdated motherboard! What to do? His ideas: new computers - $4500 macs or pc's. My ideas: is there some way to bring this ancient //c up to date? Anyone know how much it would cost? and if there are places in San Diego (or East Bay, if he comes home again!) to fix up the //c and make it live again? Thanks, on behalf of all the beleagured mothers in this computing age!
