Personally, I couldn't be bothered with an iMac under 600MHz. Click to expand... Yep. On the other hand, if it is slot loading you could put those coloured case bits onto a 600…

Thats a good deal for a high-res model. I'd like to compare one with my 1.5GHz 12" sometime just to see how much faster it is. Its crazy how much those things still sell for whe…

In the mid-west. Click to expand... I'm in the midwest too (Kansas) and still don't think a G3 iMac is worth much of anything. Ya, we don't have much to choose from around her…

To add insult to injury, the damage to the ribbon caused a short which took out the Combo drive! I always make triple-sure now to put the short hex screw in the middle. :'( Cl…

Fortunately we have a recycling depot that doesn't lock the gate at night, so there are pickings to be had – you just have to be ready to run if the cops drive by. Click to expa…

Have you tried it on a known-good power adapter? My 12" PowerBook would not charge for a while because the plug (actually the wiring to the plug where it bends before entering the …

Wahahahhaha. :rambo:

Nah, before my sister was born, he took all kinds of computing jobs all over the world. We were not the richest people back then, but we sure had a heck of a great time traveling. …

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…

So what's going to become of the dual 533 Digital Audio you built a while back?

Managed to grab a Powerbook G4 15" High Resolution model off of ebay for $200. It has a battery charging issue, which seems to be a common ailment with the aluminum books, but it h…
