    MessagePad 120 from thrift store

    Hey everyone, haven't got a new apple thing in a while and I stopped in Goodwill the other day and found this. It was $25. I liked the condition it was in so I grabbed it. It has a 2.0 Rom version. Are there any decent drawing/painting apps for this? I got it synced with my 1400 but don't know...

    eMac G4 (smokey)

    I acquired an eMac 1Ghz that was pretty smokey. Girlfriend's aunt smoked a lot in front of it. I cleaned it like CRAZY, the shell a ten minute shower mixed with magic erasers. It all pretty much went away.. If I could get the grille off in front to clean the speakers I would be pleased. I may...

    Powerbook Duo 230 upgraded to 2300

    Hey everyone, I was hunting on ebay and got this thing for about $50 total. It came with the box for Duo 230 and power adapter. There was a few papers in it but not even the owner's book, just registration stuff and a duo dock book. The base of the laptop says powerbook 2300 underneath. I can't...

    Powerbook Kanga G3 CD drive not spinning

    Hello! I haven't used my Kanga G3 in a while and thought I would play some starcraft on it today. Any CD I put in doesn't spin up. I see the little green LED light up, sometimes blink but no sound coming from the drive. I have a brand new CD module I put in to rule out the old one being dead...

    Alps Glidepoint Keypad

    This thing is pretty neat. It could be good for a numeric keypad game. Right now it's hooked up to my Classic drawing stupid pictures in paint. There is another on eBay still if anyone is interested. I like it so far and recommend it as a mouse replacement if you like touch-pads. I haven't got...

    Z-Nix Cordless Super Mouse question

    I just won this mouse on ebay. Does anyone have any experience with using this? Does it use a standard ni-cad rechargeable triple-A battery? I know it has two and they are probably long deceased. I just hope it's a battery I can find since I kinda jumped the gun but always wanted a wireless ADB...

    Powerbook G3 Kanga

    FINALLY! I've wanted one since new. This was impossible.. I think I was 9 or 10. I didn't have $6K. If I was able to buy every single mac I wanted back in the 90's, my parents would have had to sell all the cars, house, dogs, anyways! I'm using it on the forum right now and it's a blast! 5GB...

    Will a Macintosh SE boot with the battery removed? Also does anyone know where to acquire a battery with solder leads on them? :?: This is probably common sense to some but I can't seem to find this battery

    Powerbook G3 Lombard 10.4 Wireless card

    My Orinoco Gold (flashed silver) card doesn't work in 10.4 but it does work in OS 9. Are there any cheap cards that will work in 10.4? I don't want to buy the wrong one and it would be of help if someone already has this setup.
