I bought this machine used in the late 90s just to jump onto the internet. Cost me $200 in... 1997? Anyway, since then I bought more updated Macs and currently have a 5yo Macbook Pro. That all being said, I'd love to see if this old machine's still usable and what could be done with it. I tried starting it up once, maybe... 8 or 9 years ago? But I got no video signal. I figure either my video adaptor thingie's settings were wrong, or something's wrong with the Mac itself. 

I'm in the Los Angeles area. If anyone knows anyone/anything that could be a source of guidance, I'd love to know about it.

Thanks.
