OK,

For the iPhone, I just got an OtterBox Defender. It seems to be one of the best cases out there for the price.

I finally got the Portable I got in like July or August opened up, but I discovered that it doesn't boot :-/ . I'll have to investigate that.

Also got a soldering station. It's not as good as the one I was hoping to get, but it will suffice (and it's certainly better than the cheap, blunt-tipped pencil I was using for awhile.

The biggest deal, though, is that I got three machines yesterday! They are as follows:

  • Performa 630CD with 51.2 MB RAM (probably 64? that's a very odd number) and a 250 MB drive with System 7.5.5.
  • Power Macintosh G3/266 with 128 MB RAM and a 20 GB drive with Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.2.x.
  • Power Tower Pro 225 with 88 MB RAM and a 2 GB drive with Mac OS 9.1


The nicest part is that they were $10 each!

Also got a few modems, a keyboard and mouse, and a PhoneNet dongle in the deal.

Oh, almost forgot. I got a few disks awhile back, some 400k, some 800k, and some 1.4 MB):

Single Sided (400k)

  • Macintosh System disk with Finder 4.1 (a boot disk for a 512k?)
  • Macintosh MacWrite (also with Finder 4.1)
  • MacWrite-MacPaint: A Guided Tour
  • MacTerminal (this one has System 1.1g 8-) )

Double Sided (800k)

  • HyperCard on four disks (Startup, HyperCard and Stacks, HyperCard Help, and HyperCard Ideas)
  • Mac Plus tour disk
  • Later Macintosh system Tools disk, copyright 1987 (running Finder 5.5)

HD (1440k)

  • ClarisWorks 4.0 on six disks


I might get a Mac IIx, but it won't come until next year (which is like four or five days from now :lol: ).
