Hey guys! Long time, no log on. I scored myself an XBox last week on freecycle. I'm so excited about it because it's my first "good" console. I want to get online with XLink Kai. Halo 2 anyone? I'll gladly host. Got better internet, running at 3 mbps. Dunno about the upload though. Let me know...

Hey guys, I have recently (2 months ago) aquired 2 Powerbook G3 Pismos. One is 400 MHz the other is 500 Mhz. The 400 has a cracked LCD and it doesn't boot. The 500 has "many missing parts," the LCD is fine, and it doesn't boot. I took a look at it and tried to replace the "many missing parts"...

Hey guys, I figured it was time for a RAM upgrade for my iMac G5. Will this work? What about a hard drive? What do you guys suggest? It would be nice to move up from 521 MB and 80 Gs. Thanks!!! PS: It's a 17 inch 1.8 GHz iMac G5!

Hey guys. Lately, my iMac has been painstakingly slowwwwwwww (at start up, with basic functions, and online. I guess it's lack of RAM, but I'm not so sure. What do you guys think it can be? Thanks! PS: I noticed something last night. After I was talking to my Dad about "the PC's at school...

"I have a working- not perfect Ibook G3 with Older OS. White. how much would you pay for it?" I don't know the answer (I can't afford much anyway). By not perfect I assume it can either mean that it has a cosmetic issue or that it is faulty, electronically.

http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html I believe that's where one should look first. How do I copy it onto a floppy? I know it has to be an 800k floppy, but I only have the 1.44MB IBM formated ones I use on my Macintosh Classic. What to do? Thanks!

Hey guys, yet another question. This one one is about my Lombard. ****LOOK DOWN THE PAGE!! PLEASE! After installing both OS 10.2 and 10.3 (from retail disks), my Lombard would act normally and work perfectly. I should mention now that the discs are fine. They work on other computers. Once I...

Today I got me a 512k Macintosh (no internal HD). Everything is in the original box and manuals were included. The rest of the stuff is: 800k HD, Apple Personal modem 300/1200, and an ImageWriter II. This is great! Pictures to come.

I wired up the Mac SE and I hoped all would go well. I flipped the power switch and it gave me the start up chime. That was it, though you could still hear the insides working. The screen was dark and I moved the brightness thing, but nothing. What is wrong with it?

Today I got me a PowerBook G3 "Lombard". I think it's a nice B-Day gift. It had a corrupt install of OS X, but that was fixed. 400Mhz, 18Gig HD, 192 MB Ram, Apple 2X DVD ROM, and a fresh install of OS 10.2. One question, the battery is in there but it shows a 0% of Charge when its plugged in...

Yesterday I installed the Airport extreme card in the iMac. I put it back together correctly and carefully. I booted it and nothing. It would make that spinning hard drive noise and the light would turn on and it would not get past that. Once I took it out, it booted correctly. What's wrong? My...

It's Graphite in color. It runs Linux, but it's on a CD. Problem is, I CAN'T EJECT THE CD. AHHHHHHH! [a couple of gunshots into the air]. I disassembled it and I'm looking straight at the DVD drive. How can I trigger an ejection manually (while holding the drive)? Can I do it at start up? Thanks...

Today I received the Macintosh SE that I purchased from Nairon. It's giving me hell because it doesn't want to tidy up. I'm thinking of a paint job. What color does can I use for an original Macintosh finish? I'm quite glad.

Today I rescued a Power Pc G4. It was going to eWaste and the owner contacted me. The only thing missing is the monitor. :'( I can put it in my room because it came with an Airport Extreme card! I'm quite glad.

Our iMac G5 came with software disks, as all Macintosh computers. I took the "Mac OS X Install Disk 1" disk and I put it into the G5 (which now runs 10.5.3). Inside I saw the Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software. I popped in the same disk into my Beige G3 Tower (OS 9.2.2) and it popped up and...

Yesterday, I scored a Desktop G3 and a 20th Anniversary Mac (should I upgrade this one to 9.0 or OS X or leave it as is)!!! They're coming along with some ram for the iMac and the Beige G3 (tower). Both I have had since Thursday. Now if I could only find a 333Mhz processor from another "tray...

They're home!!! Today I got (for free): A Beige Mac G3 (9/6/1998), an iMac G3 (233 Mhz), a Macintosh Classic (June 1991), a Style Writer II(1992), two Power Computing Computers (one runs 8.X and has a 1.1 GB Hard Drive) and an Apple Color Monitor(1993). I think it's a good grab for today and...

I'm being offered some PowerComputing clones and wondered if anybody can shine some light on me about them. I don't know what model they are, but I will, once I pick them up along with the other Macs I'm being offered. I might put them up for grabs here, but we'll see. ;)

Hello folks, my name is Daniel Jaramillo (don't ask about the last name). I'm new to the forums, but not to the Macintosh (having used them in school). Unfortunately, I have been a PC user (XP). That lasted for a year and a half. Once the PC died, we bought an iMac G5. I think it's great to...
