Power adapter for a G4 Mac Laptop

[ominousspectre.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have a power adapter for a iBook G4 mac laptop lying around? My current one just broke and judging from the sea of macs at Diesel, I'm guessing there are a decent number of mac users in the Davis area. So if you've upgraded and don't need it anymore, I will gladly take it off your hands! If you want a couple bucks thrown your way, that wouldn't be a problem. I've checked online, and I could probably order one from amazon or off ebay for $20 or less, so I'd rather not spend more than that.

I will gladly come to your place to pick it up, as long as it's reasonable distance from a train or bus.

Local electronics shop?

I want to buy a digital camera and would prefer to support a local shop rather than best buy. Are there any local electronics shops any more?

"Blocking Handicap Ramp" ticket

Has anyone had any luck fighting a "blocking handcapped ramp" ticket? I was parked in a spot on a curved corner that I'm pretty sure I've parked in several times before, that happens to have a ramp coming down. I'm pretty sure there is no paint or bump strips on it, and It's $200 that I would much rather spend on something else.

Please, no snark, i'm not in the mood.

Spare Change Guy Smoking on the T

Hello,

I don't know how many of you noticed, but I've seen the guy who sells Spare Change at the bottom of the Davis Sq. T- Stop escalator smoking cigarettes about 4 times now. I've said something once and of course that didn't change anything and I typically don't have time to back upstairs to inform the T-Station attendant (not that they would do anything), but is there a way to notify Spare Change somehow?  And if so, are they a tightly run organization that they would do anything about it?

Somerville launches prescription drug discount program

[dashford.livejournal.com]

The new Somerville prescription drug discount program was referred to in an earlier post about news trucks at Tufts, where the mayor introduced the program. Here's more info: the program is available to all residents of Somerville. You can save an average of 20% on drug prescriptions not covered by insurance (at participating pharmacies). It appears that all locations of the major chains (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Stop & Shop, Shaws, Costco, Target, etc.) participate in the program, as does Harvard Vanguard, Skendarian Apothecary, etc.
