Planned Obsolescence -- Laptop Power Jacks by
A Different Al
This topic was broached in 2005 and, as the poster feared, it "died on
the vine."
Never one to take a hint, I want to revive it.

User manual for older Compaq laptop? by
Steve
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a User manual for a Compaq
Presario 1234 online?
I have searched the Compaq site and I can find manuals for extra bits
like Blurtooth but not the manual for the actual laptop.
Any clues?
Cheers,
Steve
