Local haul — #11

Personally, my belief on looking at data on old computers, is that you shouldn't, regardless of whether the previous owner requested you to delete it or not. Look at file names and…

Local haul — #8

True. I am just regurgitating what LCGuy said in my thread: Nice score. Just please, whatever you do, make sure you do end up erasing his old files, without reading them.…

You are going to give us Mac collectors a bad name! } Oh noes! Click to expand... What's wrong with poking around in the hard drive? Not only do I not care what's on it, if…

Sawtooth RAM Question — #10

I've got a GigE/Mystic dual G4 now (thanks, coius!) and stuck in a couple 256MiB PC133 sticks I had. I run NetBSD on this machine, and while it sees these, it doesn't use them. T…

Very nice! I think you should just pop a new HD in it. It may cost too much to get that board. Click to expand... Without seeing what was on the drive? Where's the fun in that?…

I got an email from a person in my area who asked if I wanted an old "Performa type" computer, with large B&W office printer. He was located only 2 blocks from me, so of co…

iMac G3 Snow — #9

Two iMac G3/500MHz DVSE Snow machines are the only Macs (amongst 40+ left after a recent change of house) in this house that were bought new. Always-on for 6+ years, with their re…

iMac G3 Snow — #8

I remember back in the day thinking that the Snow iMac was profoundly ugly, and that being completely devoid of any colour, it was almost like a beige iMac. Now, I think they look…

iMac G3 Snow — #6

Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty …

LC III refusing 7.1 — #3

Darn, I didn't think of that. It worked! Although I don't remember having to use an enabler in the past. :-/

LC III refusing 7.1 — #2

To run 7.1 on an LC III you need a system enabler that's probably not on the installer disk but *is* on the disk tools disk. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47341?viewlocale=en_US

LC III refusing 7.1 — #1

After my LC III sat unused for a few months, which had/has bad caps. So I removed the ROM's and washed the board. I probably screwed something up by putting the ROM's in the wrong …

That's wicked awesome! I've always liked those machines, but their speakers were never good enough to be in a bedroom, meaning, they couldn't get quiet enough for late night use.

I'm typically not a huge fan of AIO machines. Back in 2001 my father decided he wanted to get a new mac, and decided on an iMac G3/600, which came in Snow and Graphite. I voted for…
