$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable? — #2

$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable? — #1

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…

High ho, Quicksilver! — #13

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.

Nice score as well! There used to be a Volunteers of America in Galloway, OH that had a separate computer store in it. IT was like walking into heaven. They shut it down because…

asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110 — #11

If you have the SA4 Protools Audio Card installed then yes, it will only connect to the 442 interface and not the 888. If you have the even older SoundTools audio card, then the o…

I ordered a new keyboard for my Kanga from powerbookguy.com. They seem to have a pretty good inventory of Kanga/3400 parts.

LC 520 burning question... — #4

Installed version 4 but the LC520 ( OS 7.6.1 ) does down when Toast 4 is launched. Is there a Toast 3 or 2 somewhere ?
