FWB is the still not so free formating utility, right? To use this a few times a year, I'm not sure it is worth it! I used Lido for a while and it has been working fine. I heard a…

I'm on installing OS 8 on this machine. The HD utility in OS 8 does not recognize the HD as an Apple drive, so I used Lido again. Strangely Lido detects the drive as 78 gig, while …

Thanks, the CC is running very stably right now and always booting in 32-bit mode. While it would be very cool to have the display mirrored on VGA, I think I am going to simply ta…

There could be a less-sinister explanation: Some recyclers were actually just shipping off old computers to poorer countries, and it was an environmental nightmare. And it sounds l…

Have thick gloves handy in case the dents have damaged safety devices and the battery gets hot and you want to remove it. See Table 8.0.1 in http://www.duracell.com/OEM/Pdf/others…

For every recycling company that might have a contract with Apple, I'm sure that 10 others don't. I only purchase regularly from one recycler, but I could probably get stuff from …

I'm also seriously considering buying a '040 too.

3 pizzas with the lot! Lovely scores.

When you think about it, it would make perfect business sense for Apple to back the crushing of older Macs. The fewer used Macs out there on the market, the higher the price, and …

It is unlikely the Power R allows for screen spanning however, but you never know. Click to expand... No way, no how. Mirroring only.

I can't really advise. The question is whether the internal cells are damaged or not. Unlike Lithium cells, they're not likely to burst into flames, but I wouldn't know what the …

I also has full 68040's. Let me check my stock and I will post back and let ya know.

I've always liked the pizza box styled LC475's. I used to own one and man, it was a wonderful little computer.

Sounds like BS to me. Apple doesn't care. These "recycler" jerks just want the money they get from selling the scrap metal. It drives me insane how they can have these "drives" lik…

I think it would have to do with them having a contract with Apple - Apple is very serious about recycling these days, and if I'm correct they actually have contracts with a lot of…

Can't offer him a bribe? If the books did not list them and no employees remembered seeing them... Then Apple would never know.

I think it has something to do with Steve Jobs return back in the day. I believe I heard that he had staff clear out all the old macs they had sitting around their offices. This …

Dearest comrades in the quest to liberate 68k Macintosh computers, Today there was an electronics recycling drive in my town (Lexington, MA) and I brought a CRT and some old cell …

I'm on installing OS 8 on this machine. The HD utility in OS 8 does not recognize the HD as an Apple drive, so I used Lido again. Strangely Lido detects the drive as 78 gig, while …

I might have 2 33Mhz full 040's. I will check in the morning.

I thought this was interesting also. Click to expand... China would be an Apple collectors dream. Free keyboards and shiz. Inb4 environmentalists, think of the children, etc.…

Here is the link to a current Power R auction coincidentally for the 575. For a mere $87 it can be yours! LOL Click to expand... There are some cheaper ones in olde-mac-milt's …

I thought this was interesting also.

Well... I mean... if you're gonna leave stuff out on the curb (i.e. trash) what do you expect is gonna happen? If you really "cared" about it you wouldn't have trashed it, imo. …

I dont think its a matter of caring or not, its a matter of now there is broken toxic glass n plastic smashed all over the front drive, non assholes would have just taken off with …
