I said O Shit, as my screen was freaking out. Then I immediately turned it off and disassembled it. Then I went out bought electronic cleaner and saturated all the electronics. It dried out for a year. Bought a good keyboard. It booted into dos, managed to get disk 95 operation system on to floppy disk but part of the file was corrupted. Only got 24 of 28 disks off the hard drive. Then some how got windows 95 running on 24 disks. Now my Libretto is back from the DEAD and working normally! The improvements I like to make in the following sequence is this: Do a over clocking operation. I like to check documents using a text to speech program to proof read my documents out loud. There are many grammatical mistakes I can uncover if I can listen to what I wrote. But this takes 75% of the processors capability. Kicking it up to 133 mhz would eliminate the long delays when it is trying to do other things while talking. Like to do this operation first just in case. Would anyone know the best web sight to go to for doing the over clocking procedure. Then put the ram up to 32 megs. Like to get 6 Gig of hard drive in this tiny machine! Need suggestions and recommendations! Then upgrade to windows 98. That (blank) mouse is awful. I wish I could rip it out and put a touch pad in. This might be the deciding factor for I like to do CAD drafting on my machine. I use an off brand Soyo mini notebook as my main machine it sports a Cyrex 233 mhz processor with a touch pad and 2 usb ports. It does a good job, it is the same processor set found in much talked about, Cassiopeia Fiva. If I was in a market for a micro size PC, this would be it! My overall goal is to get an eye monitor and start wearing the computer. That day is almost here. The resolution has to improve and price has to come down! I know this is a regurgitation of already covered information but would sincerely appreciate your insights on making the most of this little obsolete wonder!
