well, i left the keyboard and mouse, forgot to tell you about that. The mouse they used was a hocky-puck mouse (they got a mini and moved the mouse to that) and the spare keyboard…

uh.. no leopard. people are reporting video problems with the GFX card in these. So tiger it will be. As far as optical drives... Well, the CD/CD-RW functions work I think the…

Very nice price for a decent machine. I remember lusting over these in computer shops several years ago! The CRTs in the eMacs are very crisp IIRC. Getting Leopard on it should…

That's what I use as my main system... mostly for graphics and audio. Very nice for $130. ISTR having some issues with the optical drive at first, but they went away with one of th…

I've got a 700MHz eMac. It is a good system. I don't use it much any more since though. I upgraded and Hard Drive and DVD drive in mine, they are quite a pain to get you. B sure t…

Kudos to you for putting your older machines back on Freecycle and sharing the wealth! Click to expand... Thanks. I have been very lucky with Freecycle over the past couple of…

Ooh, will they do T-shirts for the iPhone launch too? I didn't meet any Mac enthusiasts though, I'm a bit too too shy to start talking to any of the other people there! They'd prob…

I actually turned up at about 6.30pm because I got held up in traffic, but there was still a queue to get in! I was pretty lucky because the T-shirts ran out very shortly after I e…

I got a Leopard T-shirt too in Glasgow! I was lucky as they ran out very shortly after I went in the door. There was actually a queue down Buchanan Street when I arrived and the st…

I think it's funny (the BSoD thing, that is). It harkens back to Apple's evangelist past, and it shows that even a major corporation can have a sense of humor. I'm sure that in 1…

Hahah, an installfest. Anyway, looks like a sweet time...i wish i could've gone to a Leopard party..but y'know, i live in the middle of nowhere, have no car, and...well...yeah.…

I got the G3 400 up and running. Since I made out so well on this deal I think it will go back up on Freecycle along with my AIO G3 and another BW 400 I have. I'll definitely kee…

Here's an update... I cracked it open... 1 of the IC's was cocked a pretty good bit out of its socket. Even when I pushed it in and checked the rest of them, STILL no joy. I left i…

The BSoD thing is almost as good as Steve calling it Winders during a keynote. The only Apple shirt I have is from the 12 Oaks Apple Store opening in Novi, Michigan. I was #31 …

I like the BSoD thing.

Who tosses a dually? A bonehead who doesn't know what he's got. :-/ Glad that you were able to salvage both the G3 and the dually G4.

Who tosses a dualie?! Click to expand... I'm shocked too. It is really quick with Panther. I just got the G3 450 up and running. I am running OS 9 on that one. I threw in 2…

Who tosses a dualie?! Click to expand... They could toss one my way - I wouldn't complain!

I'm told by the person I got it from that she got all three machines from a friend who is a Mac tech who was just going to throw them out. Click to expand... Who tosses a duali…

wow I wish there were free g3 powerbooks around here! congrats on the awesome conquest! Click to expand... Don't worry. Your not the only one :'( . Though I would run across …

The new logic for the Lombard and the RAM for both machines arrived today. I've got a good deal pending on a pair of 80GB Seagates, and a slot-loading Combo drive for the Lombard …

Nice work

The 450 DP is up and I am posting this using it. I found two 256mb dimms in the G3s and added two 128mb sticks for 768 total. I put in a 10gb 7200pm Deskstar drive in it that had…
