WTB: Dual core G5 Ram
Sometimes its not about the hardware!! An auction sat on eBay for a long, long time for four non-readable floppies. Decided to buy them after a couple price drops. Odds are they were no good. But just to frame them would be neat.
Well I got one to mount. Labeled "Macintosh Master #1" and mounted as "Mac Stuff 2". The Mac Plus would not mount any of them. The 128k upgraded did mount only this one. I booted into System 6 from an external Apple 20.
I tried to copy, as backups, to the external hard drive but ran into some data rot of the critical files - system, finder, xMacsBug and a few others. But some apps copied fine. Life, Clock, etc. I will be truing a few other Macs and drives since I know hoe fussy and erratic old floppy drives can be.
So here are some images. And a vid link to the Clock application - an application I could not exit! Had to reboot her.

The Dual Core G5's required Ram to be installed in matched pairs. Through a series of screwups, I have one stick of Kingston KTA-G5533/2G Ram and need one more to make it usable. Kingston sold theses in matched sets of two 1 GB sticks, for a total of 2 GB.
If anyone has a single stick of the Kinston ram lying around I need it. A long shot, no doubt, but what the heck.

You may even have Bill Atkinson's or Andy Hertzfeld's fingerprints on those...
awesome, was looking at those too
Steve may have breathed on these at some point! 
I wonder what the Seattle font looks like. For some reason I think a font that did ship was once originally called Seattle. I had a short day, thankfully, so I will look a little more tonight. I also have some other things to do for CC.
I have the Seattle font in 20 point. It shipped with the original Print Shop. I think it also came with Word 1.0, but I'm probably mistaken on that one.
It's a sans-serif font, a little skinnier than Helvetica. Looks a lot like Geneva.

Since I had a Classic up and running, I went ahead and took a snapshot from Print Shop and cropped it down. This should give you an idea of what the font looks like.
Cool. I was wondering if its an MS font or Apple. I know Apple used different names for fonts early on and switched to the shipping names at some point.
