You know, I'm thinking of how much less waste there would be if we simply upgraded wisely. Swapping mainboards and hard drives instead of replacing the entire enclosure. It would…

Thanks for the info. I think ill look into it more after iv got my iMac.

I cannot speak for the video angle, but the only real advantage to the IIe is expansion. If you don't need expansion, you'll probably be happier with a IIc+. Here's why: - The I…

The IIc+ was only sold in the US so to get it running on your electricity, you would need some sort of external 110 to 220 volt converter. I don't think there is a switch on the ba…

Well, the video in question suggests that about 20% of the equipment that the receive doesn't work, and that they try to fix it. If they cannot fix it, then it ends up as landfill…

Still someday down the road everything will fail, what is africa going to do with all the monitors then? Click to expand... Are these the monitors that are immune from failing?…

I think working computers should be exported and used (something not 100% obsolete either). Still someday down the road everything will fail, what is africa going to do with all t…

Sidestepping the issue that Quadraman and Bunsen are so angry about (for the record, I'm with Bunsen, but I'll say no more but that) If Contiki gets ported to that, I am getting o…

Since exporting our old computers to developing nations was mentioned, here's a video that someone put together to explain a bit about how it works:

Not going to happen, unfortunately. ALL PCMCIA USB cards require CardBus, and unfortunately unlike the 2400 and 3400, there is no way that the 1400 can be modified to take CardBus …

What's cool is neither eMac qualified under the program but Apple fixed them anyway because they did exhibit the actual problem, which is the bulging capacitors. Click to expand…

I had this happen with a Pismo. The ATI Rage chip came loose causing the screen to get garbled. Applying pressure to the bottom would make it better. When I got the logic board …

Hmm, thats interesting because I have yet to get this issue and I have never heard this issue in the 500MHz models. BTW can someone please help me find dual screening in OS X on m…

I was told it was refused.

I remote into machines all day long. Is this really something new for you guys? Not trying to be a killjoy, just asking. Click to expand... So do I, but it was one way to wast…

Not the 500MHz, it's the iBook's between 600MHz (16MB of VRAM) and early G4 iBooks. Click to expand... The 500MHz iBooks certainly suffer from this problem, too (and it's not u…

I know a dude with a solder rework station that fixes those. He strips, fluxes and resolders the BGA parts using nice machinery and offers warranty. Although $150 is a bit much to…
