Walking down memory lane, today. I found my old Gameboy Color. It has been soooo long since I last turned it on that the batteries crusted over inside. As a result, the darn thing wouldn't turn on.
I decided to press my luck and take a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and clean it. What's the worst that can happen? I hoped it would allow the new batteries to power through. Surprisingly, it worked!
I don't really have any use for it, anymore. As it was, I basically only played it while on family vacations and that was over 14 years ago. All things considered, it is actually in REALLY good condition. Especially compared to the ones being sold on
Ebay. Tomorrow, I'm mailing it to my bff who is as much of a Buffy geek as I am.
