Post is gone, wonder if somebody picked it up?

The districts here in Texas are different I guess. Old computers, be it Macs or PCs, are rounded up into pallets and sold through online auctions at http://www.lemonsauctioneers.co…

My districts does basically the same thing, but what makes it worse is that I know there is a barn full of Apple //e's and various service parts that will either be recycled in the…

I also work for our school district in Miami (I'm a shared tech at two elementary schools). Because most of those items usually tend to be tagged by the property control departmen…

Pentium Pro. Now there is a mans CPU.

Does that ISA card have any external ports? How about internal connectors? If all it has is internal connectors, I'd wager that it's some sort of audio processing card and the TI c…

The Zip Drive not mounting doesn't have to do with the non-Apple HD. My Macintosh LC III with an Apple HD can't mount it either. (The Macintosh LC III doesn't ever have instability…

I should be getting 2 of those and a powerbook 145b from the friend that gave me my powerbook 150. I can't wait!
