Re: CD ripping (was: Re: [PLUG] un-upgrade in debian)

I still use a Toshiba (never mind the Red October milling machines) as a
laptop in the car because politeky, the older machines feed off of the 12V
that the car provides.
Toshiba destroyed that advantage in later machines by increasing to a 15V
output. This poor boy is a T1200 based on an 8088.
