Most LC475/Quadra 605 machines use a pre-Intel CPU, which will make any video encoding painfully slow; at the very least get a machine with an Intel CPU, if you want to encode vide…

The Goodwill here rarely sells computers. However, one time I went there, they had tons and tons of them. Two Sun Ultra 5s, ~15 PCs, and ~5 laptops (including a heavily upgraded P…

Nice haul. The Mac looks like its in good condition, with no yellowing. Looks like it comes with some good accessories too...are those game controllers ADB? :O Click to expand.…

Very nice. Its always really nice to have a machine like that, that you have such fond memories of, come full-circle and be gifted to you.

. . . recoupment? I'm not sure what to call my latest . . . re-acquisition! When I was in Philly, my (very wonderful) ex-wife brought down a few boxes of goodies. My Bell &a…

Most thrift stores for some reason have this aversion to computers. Goodwill, while not serving our particular interests well (crushing old Macs), is actually the only store I've …

Very nice. Congrats!

I talked to a lady at my local Goodwill today...She said unless the computer is brand new, the hard drive is taken out, the parts are stripped and sold off...So there's really zero…

NICE! :O

I have never seen a Clearance Center. They operate "Clothing Stores" and stores called "ComputerWorks" around here, but there may be a large repository of donated items that isn't…

Well, I just had my week made. I was out this evening, when I hadn't planned on being out at all and was kind of not wanting to drive places. I happened to be driving past an old p…

Thanks Dog Cow, Yeah, I did some research some time after my post to find out what I needed to know about a Mac Plus, and to my surprise I saw that, as you said, it uses an 800k d…

Hi,And if anyone can offer me any spare 400k floppy drives they may have, internal or external, let me know. A spare floppy drive or two would certainly come in handy now that…

Most LC475/Quadra 605 machines use a FPU lacking 68040 CPU, which will make any video encoding painfully slow; at the very least get a machine with the full '040 chip (of course it…

Quadra 605 all the way.... except I'm not sure if I've ever seen one advertised... and they can be a bit pricey... is my gut feeling... so smallest maybe, & 605 is good, sm…

Hi, Just bought this as a Buy-It-Now on eBay for a total of $50.00. The seller includes the keyboard, mouse, and even the owner's guide as well! So overall, I'd say, a great eBa…

I want something... I think I could live with os 7.1 if I needed to, but os 8.1 is better.... I'm not keen on os 9, but am keen to try os 10 I need to transfer files and could do…
