Rummaging through the server room at my job I found a Macintosh portable, and the accompanying case for it.
Cosmetically this thing is nearly mint. I let it sit on a shelf in my office for some time but yesterday I decided to try and fire it up.
I plugged in the AC adaptor, threw out the old...
I just picked up a decent Dual 867 MDD G4 at goodwill for $75. I figured I can make this into a decent file server.

Anyway - I'm thinking of turning this into a file server & media...
Got an apple III from ISU's surplus for $15
No idea if it works
Kind of dirty
Anyone knows anything about these? Any interesting things i can do with it? I have no software for it.
I had an instructor bring me a Powerbook G4 that won't power up. I tried resetting the PMU and taking the battery out, as well as re-seating the RAM.
The charger light in the back is always amber...
Any ideas?
I just got an excellent condition (little to no yellowing!) apple adjustable keyboard set for a total of $25.
In running through my iMate I noticed that some of the keys on the main keyboard repeat or do not work the first time... yet the function keys and keypad work as they should.
Thoughts...
Ok so I figured I'd take my conquest thread here.

I purchased this IIfx not knowing of its condition. No idea on how much RAM and no HD.
I plugged it in last night and got nothing, no chime, nada.
Remembering that these were picky about PRAM batteries I put two new fresh ones in...
Over the weekend I picked up a few things.
1 - IIfx
I snatched this up for $30 then came home to realize it has no HD :-(
The RAM banks are full but i haven't powered it on to see how much it has. Whoever thought to use 64pin simms is an idiot... I hope this thing is maxed.
The case is a...
I posted an AD on craigslist for an Apple II system. So far I have 2 responses.
1) A nice looking Apple II+ with 2 5.25 disk drives, and a monitor. The person said "make me an offer" - I'm inquiring if they have any software...
2) An apple IIc with one of those tiny monitors and an external...
So I got a 1710AV that i want to turn into a TV...
I had a 1710 YEARS ago and it proved nicely to be a good monitor.
Now to the AV part... does this need ADB to activate the speakers?
So over the weekend I procured a few things:
Ti 1ghz PB G4

How can I get leopard to run on this?
My friend of 3 and a half years died on the 13th. He was a good cat, but he had fatty liver disease which came on really strong. This is a cat who would eat a LOT and he suddenly stopped... he had to be put down.
