my old WS had some bad issues. like the thing would always get way too hot, but from what I have read, that is just the way the series was. it also had the 13" screen, and despite me taping the cable down 3 times, which would only work for a little while, then I would get a bad screen again. which would also work while I squeezed the bezel of the display, which would also only last for a short time.

I did howver mod the display so the apple logo lit up. it's on applefritter. Granted, it was a soft, purplish glow, not nearly as bright as the current macs, but it worked. I know PDQs have the light up logo.

my old one was acutally a hybrid. it was a 233mhz with a 13", but ASP reported it had a cashe. which I know the Series I 233mhz never did, so someone had it repaired somewhere.

I still have not paid for it yet, having paypal issues.

oh, and my old one didnt come with a power adapter, so I went through the repair extension program, and got a yo-yo adapter. the letter in the box said they wanted the old one back by April 30th, 2006. they are still waiting...

oh, and the old one came in a Dell box. /blastphomy

as soon as it gets here, I have a Mac OS 9 kit in a folder on my hard drive that I will burn to a CD. it has wallstreet updates, and a bunch of software, but not the 9.1, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2, as they wont fit, and I can easily get them off the software update CP.

oh yeah, I grabbed a custom wallstreet icon set, and some special things out of the Mac OS 8.2 beta, including the special network CP, which looks better, and the gizmo and hi-tech themes.
