Catlin Gable Rummage Sale

Yes. I got a case that looks like it's designed for Microsoft Office disks, but it contained:

Mac OS X 10.1

Mac OS X Developer Tools 10.1

Mac OS 9.2.1

Spressa Professional with Discribe for Mac and cd extreme for Windows

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 education version for Macintosh

Adobe Illustrator 9.0 education version for Macintosh

Also got one square ADB mouse

Also got a battery for 12" iBook G3

All that for 5 bucks.

(I also got some baby-proof Christmas decorations and a very nice laptop bag that converts to a backpack.)

The battery was completely empty. Charging got it up to one blinky light and Battery Health Monitor says it's up to 100% charge but down to 6% of original capacity. Also says it's used 30% of its allotted charge cycles and the power plug light still shows orange, or charging. So I'll leave it plugged in for a while and see if it changes. I got it thinking it was probably dead but perhaps suitable for a mod donor, anything beyond that is total bonus.

Photoshop and Illustrator did not have any serial numbers with them (although I do have the CD key for the Microsoft Office Mac 2001!). I will have to try to find some. My granddaughter has an OS 9 iMac and could use them.

Not sure what I'd do with 10.1, but I do have use for 9.2.1.

Not as much Good Stuff at the sale as in years past, I guess people are not buying new stuff and keeping the old instead.

What town is this sale in? I am also in Oregon.

Portland, at the Expo Center. Tomorrow is the last day and it's half-price.

I saw the name and was racking my brain as to where I knew the name. Just remembered that one of my former co-workers at the Washington State Capital went there. Anyway, Nice score!

Well, the verdict is in, the battery's bad. Now if I want, I can take it apart and use it for customization practice. I have a vague plan in mind to paint the inside of my iBook and change the color of the apple on top. I would need to recolor a battery as well, and I can take this one apart without worrying about possibly wrecking something useful. And see if I can paint.

Now, does anybody have a serial number for my disks of Photoshop 6 (academic) and Illustrator 9 (academic)? These are for OS 9.
