That's pure sadistic evilness.....

show up around 10ish (smoke break lol)

Excellent, now we've got the expert's evaluation. Now I need to make up my mind whether I want to try and go in again. The problem was that all communication was through an employ…

Any legitimate recycler paying $20 for an old iMac is horseshit. It generally costs recyclers money to deal with the CRTs. That means there has to be more than $20 in scrap value …

Yeah, I agree with you. They're lucky to get any sale on it at all. The thing is, I didn't even get a chance to make my offer. It was literally, "$50, as-is, and that's final." May…

i would give them the option 40$ and you take it or they can take it to the recyclers and hope to get 20$

They're not really very friendly at this shop. It is PC-only. I'm not sure if it's worth my time/money to come back and ask again about the iMac. And the orange iMac was both tray…

If it was AU$50, I'd snap it straight up. But US$50? Fahgeddaboutit.

Any bootable CD should allow you to check those things. Bootable on that particular iMac that is. If the HD appears on the desktop, select it and hit Apple-I for information. To…

I'm not certain, but I think that it's a tray-loader. I didn't pay attention. Also keep in mind, I haven't actually seen this thing work. I could buy it, take it home, and it's tot…

What type of model? Slotloader or Trayloader? This makes a huge difference. Technically this should be the price for these iMacs, but their price is so low because they are commodi…

Sure it can! :rambo:

I bought a 6 or 700mhz imac for 20 or so bucks with hd/etc... I'd be firm with an offer of 30 since after all it is 10 bucks more than they are saying the recyclers would give them…

It's going to be given to a friend as an upgrade to an original bondi iMac which I gave him a few years back. He doesn't know that he's getting it though. It's sort of a late-Chris…

Seems a bit steep to me, unless it's in museum condition. The real question is: is it worth it to you? If the $50 won't lead to starvation and the iMac is something you'd get any u…

The campus PC repair shop has a "scrap pile" of old machines, mostly PCs, which are destined for the recycler. In the past year, I have purchased a desktop G3 and a 20" Apple Color…

That's a pretty nice 'Book. I think you'll like it.

I just bought one of these off of another member From what I gather, it's got an Ethernet port, CD-ROM, Zip Drive, Maybe a battery, Active-Matrix screen, 180Mhz CPU, 144MB RAM (Ra…

Yeah, I tried that, too. The WaveLAN card can be sort-of forced to fit in a clamshell iBook; and fits with some fiddling in a gumdrop iMac, but not in a PowerMac.

Orinoco Wavelan out of a dead APBS Click to expand... I tried the same in my sawtooth and MDD - one problem you'll consistently run into is the fact that the black plastic anten…

So the HD in the Cube fell over and died, forcing me to upgrade to my new silver tower of G4 awesome. I picked up a 200GB Seagate HD from a friend, made three partitions (X, 9 and…

I know what you are talking about and some people don't know if the bitten or unbitten are rare. i have see both kinds on ebay and the prices are some what the same (a little more …

PICTURE!

Thanks to you all. It's rare to find an internet community that is not hostile to newcomers. As for rescuing, I've been in the habit of rescuing hardware (much to the chagrin of m…

Tom Lee, you are a MacSaint. We should all be so generous. Truth is, unless everything is set up and running, it's a pain in the ass to make and test 400K MFS disks, and just one m…
