Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end. Click to expand... Yep, you're right. For OS 8.5 u…

Super Awesome!

I went to the Goodwill Clearance Center today. This is where they take all the stuff that doesn't sell elsewhere. They put it all in bins, and put the bins out on tables. When the …

I don't understand women/moms/etc. The CRTs aren't hurting anything sitting in the house. They didn't do anything wrong. Click to expand... That was my argument but she seemed …

My mother went on a CRT purge a few months ago and made me dispose of two monitors (a Dell and an LG) and two televisions. Fortunately Freecycle took care of the monitors but no-on…

No worries. I was looking for an extra G5 case to convert into an external E-SATA RAID Array. I figure I could alteast 8TB in on G5 case. That would be awesome.

Thats an advantage of PCs - its just "Yet Another Beige Box". About 3 or so weeks later my parents still haven't noticed the P3 From Britain™.

I just wonder if I could sneak it past my parents... Click to expand... Somehow I suspect they might just notice a large and very brightly coloured box in your room that wasn't…

Since it was pointed out to me the colour I thought was Blueberry was, in fact, Indigo I have no idea what colour this machine is. What makes it look Bondi Blue in one pic makes it…

It's not too bad on the weight. A little heavier than my now foot stooled B&W G3. I am now typing from the G5. I hooked up my Ti via Target Disc Mode and am in the process…

All that aluminium for only 200 bucks. America is indeed a crazy place . Don't the G5s weight like 50-60lbs or something bizare? I know my Mac Pro weighs 27kg which come out at …

Damn! $200 is way underpriced for even a 1.6 single.
