So up to this point, I've only acquired macs via eBay, and spent waaaaay too much money on them. It's really hard to find old computers where I live. Thrift stores will not accept computers, and our provincial electronic recycling program is very strict about not letting you have anything that has been dropped off. Once it's in their doors, it gets recycled, no exceptions. I've had an ad up on kijiji for about a year stating that I'm looking for old macs, and this week it finally paid off! I got three emails from people this week saying they had old macs for me, but so far only 1 has worked out.
And what luck! It was an LC580, something that has been on my list of machines that I want!
I didn't expect it to work, but to my surprise, it works flawlessly. Very yellowed, as you can see from the spot where the sticker was on the front. It fits in nicely between my Powermac 5400 and my SE/30.
Not much on the machine except for games, but there are some on here I haven't played before, so it should keep me busy for a few days. The previous owner was clearly a Limp Bizkit fan.
Oh, and a Offspring fan, too! There were several of their music videos on the machine. They certainly do not play well on this machine! The audio plays flawlessly, and I was surprised by the sound quality.
Curious if anyone can tell me how to remove AOL? I could not find any extensions or control panels anywhere. If I remember from back in the day, AOL was notoriously difficult to remove...
Now off to eBay to get an ethernet card.
