It probably fell on something hard like a slate floor, carpet would have cushioned the fall.
Anyway I completely ripped it apart and washed everything, looks new except for those …
They must have dropped that from one HELL of a height, mine has fallen off several things and the handles are still very much in tact.
Last time it fell it hit my Dell Dimension L…

Got a B&W G3 (my first non beige Mac) for free locally. Needs 2 new handles (fell off a table), but the rest is in very good condition. G3-300/512K 128MB RAM (I upped it to…
I agree that NUM 3.2.x was excellent (and still is) for what it can do with 030-processor Macs, and 040 Macs running no higher than 7.6.1. Received wisdom at one time was that NUM…
I think because on Windows it installs all this weird stuff and does all this other crap you don't really need. I just simply booted off the ZIP disk and ran Disk Doctor and it was…

I haven't used it on Macs in years, but on PCs at least, it is a very, very, very, very, very bad, bad, bad, bad, bad thing. NUM 3.x used to be good back in the days of System 7...…
Norton is bad?
It rescued my 7200 the other day. (I have Norton 6 on a ZIP Disk). It was booting to this Error 41 or 47 or something, and then when I booted off the ZIP Disk the h…

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.

Yep, you're right. For OS 8.5 u…
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.

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.
Tell 'em it's a monitor. Works surprisingly well for non-tech-inclined parents.

Unfortunately my parents use the Indigo iMac G3 as their internet machine (I …
I just wonder if I could sneak it past my parents...

Somehow I suspect they might just notice a large and very brightly coloured box in your room that wasn't…
