New kid on the block

Post by Kid Capri »

This the Kid Capri and I'm working on my own projects. So to get too the point I'm working on two portable PS1s and SNES. The power supply and insides are ready to go now I'm working on a case. No idea on the SNES but I'm using wood for one PS1 and a case of an external floppy drive for the other. When finished I will have a website up and running. Does anyone have a yahoo e-mail from Ben. I can't get messages out on Outlook.
Don't have a computer that uses Outlook express. What happened to the days when people only used Yahoo.

To keep this on the intended subject as you know the Kid is a part-time student taht works at the base commisary. Pay for classes out of his own (about $500 a class) money. He struggles to find the parts in Sicily where the closest store is in a city called Misterbianco. No ride or money to buy things or the knowledge to build a portable by himself. He just started volunteering for AFN (American Forces Network) radio doing commercials and soon to be broad casting. But thats enough on the bio.

Master plan: Post all the items needed in wanted section of the Signature and see how many deals are available.

Plan B: Use other skills to make a cd and sell them out of back of car (Mom's car)

Plan 3: See whats free.

Well this idea might take off faster then you think. Gannon is selling a couple Vacumm form tables, he's going to be opening his store (officially) once he gets is stock in. There are lots of stuff instead of just portables to be made.

Its just on this fourm after Ben's book comes out the only people that would be asking for a portable would be Guests as the rest of use know how and the capasity to build them ourselves.
