Hi, Sent you a PM.

"the public is not allowed into that area" Click to expand... Perfect opportunity to become a criminal, and it's for a good cause too.

Unfortunately macgreg was taken on MacTalk The iMacs are very tough too - my 4 year old son inserted three CD-ROMS into a slot load drive at once - I extracted them all and th…

(btw I am gregh from MacTalk...) Click to expand... Oh hey, I had no idea you were on MacTalk. I'm over there with you and Byrd as well, same name as here. Really nice little …

Man I wish our goodwill doesnt suck, I asked one day where the computers were, they said downtown, so I called downtown and "the public is not allowed into that area" bogus

While I was out running errands today, I stopped into a Goodwill store that I don't usually visit (it's all the way across town from my usual routine), but this visit paid off with…

First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives. Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within …

Inexpensive cost but they are trying to charge me $56.80 to ship to Canada... Click to expand... Just one of many reasons not to use ebay.

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne

You could use it as extra processing for re encoding videos and such. Or as a remote iTunes player. Or extra processing for someone else. Check out Folding@Home.

So I've got this Quicksilver that I've had for quite sometime now, but unfortunately, its spent more time occupying my closet floor than being used. What is this thing good to use …

As the others have stated Alkaline, NiMH and Nicad batteries are mostly harmless, unless your handling large amounts of juice over long periods of time, scrub down good with hot wa…

The PRAM battery is a NiCd, so no need to worry about lithium. However, cadmium is none too good for humans (and nickel isn't benign, either). Casual exposure is unlikely to be a p…

I managed to find a PowerBook Video adapter on ebay for a very affordable $3 ($9 with shipping). The item came in its original 1992 Apple packaging and worked out of the box with m…

Both seem to have sucky optical drives - neither iMac likes booting from these. So it's time to drag my old FW DVD burner, and see how it fares. I suspect I'll be able to get a r…

Hey greg - thought you might be kicking around here too! Both seem to have sucky optical drives - neither iMac likes booting from these. So it's time to drag my old FW DVD bur…

Nice work - iMacs of that vintage are really well built and surprisingly usable machines. My wife used a 400MHz one for ages - the only reason she upgraded to an eMac was for the …

Hi, I've never had/or been given a slot-loading iMac before, so i was rather pleased to receive two today - and my favourite colour, the dark blue models! One has a perfect CRT b…

it is an absolute monster. Click to expand... Which is the lone reason I did not bid on it. My wife would have killed me. I get away with more compact purchases though. He h…

Alright, thanks! I doubted it, but I was just curious.

Nope. Most likely given it is labeled "SuperDrive" it was merely a computer Apple used internally, probably on a secretary's desk. The SE FDHD came first and except for the label c…

I spotted a Apple property tag on this Macintosh SE SuperDrive. Link (last photo in the auction) Would this necessarily mean that it was a late stage testing prototype perhaps? T…

That's a great find - must be very rare in that condition. Considering this, $78.88 is peanuts. I have a very similar external SCSI drive, a 5.25" full height drive inside a Formac…

Lithium leaks are BAD if you get them on you. Most alkaline will just mess up your skin if you dont wash, a mild acid will get rid of it (vinegar, lemon).
