So I've been scoping out the technology in this area and I'm wondering where I could locate some spare parts and maybe some computers? At least somewhere to start looking. Any suggestions?

are you thinking of setting up some kind of database or computer service?

[verde]

not necessarily. i can record my findings but i'm more interested in building something else.

[connivingbird]

I see
you might have more luck if you go dumpster diving for spare parts

[verde]

that can be done too, I suppose. If I need to!

There are several stores on the Near Shore I've found that sell high-quality parts, depending on what you want to use them for. They can be quite expensive, though.

[verde]

that's the issue, not sure how much money i can spend. probably should ask...

[subtract]

If you want high-quality materials, you have to pay the price for them, kukuku.

Getting a job isn't as hard as you'd think. [if Add can get a job then god knows anyone can, as long as they stay determined] We don't have to pay rent here, either, so you can spend your money on whatever you like. It's just a matter of leaving an impression strong enough for someone to pay you.

[verde]

True, but I guess I'll have to figure out what job I can do. No necessarily a people person.

Akihabara, over on the Near Shore! It's like a technology wonderland!

[verde]

thanks! though, anywhere i can get parts easily? i know a lot of stores don't just give you spare stuff.

[very_goodman]

You might hafta look around a little, but I bet at least one of those places sells parts. Lots of people like to custom build their own rigs from the ground up, y'know?

[verde]

From what I've heard I'm going to have to look around. I need to have a good base, but I can work with anything if I need to.

[hontobakabaka]

The Near Shore is where I've been looking, this place doesn't seem to be too digitally based. Still there are money issues among other things with getting parts there and they still seem a bit antiquated.

You wouldn't know anyone that can build logic circuits, would you?

[verde]

I think I can do that if I have the right stuff...not entirely sure.

[hontobakabaka]

Yes, that has been my problem. Lacking the proper equipment. It makes me wonder if anyone would mind if I ran off to the near shore and borrowed a chip factory for a bit. Then again, there would be that mess about them being 200 years out of date.

[verde]

Hm...I think that's also been a problem, but I can work with what I have, just getting it is the hard part.

hey if u want me 2 look 4 stuff w/ u on the near shore i can do that!
there's like computer places n stuff there
i'm sure they've got stuff ud like!!
:D

[verde]

...Are you that creepy dude from the cherry blossom thing?

[isayvol]

wow ok rude :(
i'm not creepy ok??
but yah that's me
but no more creepy ok!!!
i just wanna help u out

[yousaytron]

Sometimes people on the Near Shore toss out some pretty useful stuff
if you want a cheaper alternative than what's in the stores.

[verde]

True. It seems like that's the continued suggestion!

[yousaytron]

If I run across anything that looks interesting, I can let you know. Or I guess if you want some company while you look, or something like that, I'm available pretty often.

[roeh]

I got a few things on hand from when I was helping out the school. And you'll have to pick it up yourself. Shit's pretty dated by my standards though.

[verde]

Really? Thank you! Where would you be located at?

[roeh]

the name's morrigan. god name anyway. you can drop by my temple anytime for at least the next week.

is there anything you're looking for in particular? I've got the computers and a couple servers. a few interesting accessories if you'd like. it's just collecting dust here.
