I was getting early G3 iMacs as giveaways even several years ago. If it's a top-end G3 iMac, maybe I'd consider US $10-25, if I wanted one. (Personally I've no interest in PPC/In…

mars, not everyone lives in new york, not everyone lives in a city, hell if i want to see a curb i have to drive 10 min and I have never found a Macintosh on one (found a 386 in a …

fy fiddy! I think this is too much work for an iMac you can find on a curb. Abandon ship.

Okay, this is getting silly I just went to the tip to offload a dozen crappy CRTs, and on the back of the pallet was: A Quicksilver 733 A 23" Apple Cinema Display A DR Bott DVIa…

dolla fiddy Click to expand... tree fiddy!

You found a Cinema Display at the dump?????? :O Click to expand... That is where they belong, as does anything with an ADC connector. Come on people, get a nice big DVI di…

I decided to work on my old Mac IIci today. It was stored outside in the weather for several years before I got it. The ports on the back are a bit rusty and there are signs of c…

I doubt it - the AirPort slot is only a 16 bit PCMCIA slot - 802.11g cards require a 32 bit (CardBus) slot.

Well, when I use the WaveLAN card in my iMac G3, PowerBook G3, iBook, and Power Mac G4, OS 9 drivers detect it as true-blue AirPort. I seem to remember OS X had some issues, but I…

So does the WaveLAN card "just work"? You don't need to modify the card at all, other than making it fit in the case? I wonder - would a PCMCIA format, AirPort Extreme compatible …

To remove the keyboard you have to loosen this little clip that holds the flat ribbon cable from the keyboard in. It's a hard-to-describe procedure but it's really easy. The sock…

The SCSI card that I will eventually use is the ATTO SE IVD, but it si currently not installed. I'm pretty sure that both ProTools cards I have are the SA4 kind, but again, not in…

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.
