Okay, whoever was laughing at the start of this thread needs to see these clips... really quite remarkable! The Apple II music is awesome too!

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram. He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100 …

A system, or any item, is worth however much someone wants to pay for it. If someone pays $1500, then it is worth $1500. If someone would only pay $500, then it is worth $500. It i…

There is something cool about beige macs, I like my B&W's but thats around the time Apple went trendy with form over function. Click to expand... That'd be the effect …

I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion whatsoever. Click to expand... Maybe stupid, but not odd. There's a simple explanation w…

I just got a Classic II and it seems I might need to replace the caps too. I haven't the tools to open it yet so I don't know what's inside. What capacitors (type and quantity) wou…

My feeling is that every computer will get obsolete. You pay 3K 2.5 yr's later it's worth 1.5K or whatever... if you got it at a good price and you are happy with it, that's all…

None the less, the G5 did get screwed with 10.6 BUT it will not stop working B/C of that... How many people actually buy a new OS when it first comes out, I myself do not go out o…

That is indeed a very respectable first conquest. Well done, soldier!

Ditto } What is this "surplus" of which you speak?

A 128 can read & write to an 800K external drive. A 1.4 drive won't work. When I got my Mac in 1984, one of the first upgrades I made was to stick an 800K mechanism from an…

Yeah, I remember back in 1999 I went to an Apple Roadshow event they had here, where they used to demo the new stuff that had recently come out (in this case, it was the slot load …

$1000+ for a dual 2.0GHz model?? You guys must be joking right? I've seen QUAD core models selling under $1000 since BEFORE 10.6 came out. Just this past summer I watched a quad…
