I'm told by the person I got it from that she got all three machines from a friend who is a Mac tech who was just going to throw them out. Click to expand... Who tosses a duali…

So a friend of a friend hears that I'm wacky for macs, and gives me a dead clamshell ibook that he had gotten from still someone else long ago, thinking he'd get around to fixing i…

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…

The new logic for the Lombard and the RAM for both machines arrived today. I've got a good deal pending on a pair of 80GB Seagates, and a slot-loading Combo drive for the Lombard …

Nice work

The 450 DP is up and I am posting this using it. I found two 256mb dimms in the G3s and added two 128mb sticks for 768 total. I put in a 10gb 7200pm Deskstar drive in it that had…

I find that too plus you get more than a request, you get their life story and how much they need your box of random PC parts or empty/scratched AT case. Anyone have a similar expe…

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…

There's not much in a VIC-20, so there's not much that can go seriously wrong. Check the usual easy stuff first -- do a careful visual inspection of the logic board. The 6502 a…

Now, we don't hate... We envy with all our power

Augh! HATE!

I just got word that I can pickup two G3 BW towers and a G4 tower tomorrow from a local Freecycle post. I'm told the two G3s may run and the G4 at least needs a new hard drive. T…
