Freecycle B&W!

[MacTCP]

I just sent a message to somebody offering 3 PPC macs.

Hope you get them - but with Freecycle and free computers, don't count your chickens before they've hatched!

I have to agree - I've gotten some great stuff via FreeCycle (and Craigslist), but at least 9/10 of them fall through.

Let us know how it goes!

Hardly anyone around here knows what a mac is. :-/

With it being called (3) Fully operational Mac Power PC (good shape ), some people might not realize it's a computer. [xx(] ]'>

 

[LCGuy]

yes, but everyone knows what "PC" means.

 

[MacTCP]

oh, a powerful pc!

but there's hope! :-x

 

[MacTCP]

There hasn't been any update at all. The fact that an Eeyore Stocking got claimed in 7 minutes worries me. But the fact that a Win98 PC got claimed in 2 days makes me keep up hope. It's so suspenseful. [8]

Wanted ads work!! I made a wanted ad, and I already am getting some sort of G3 without a hard drive, and more. :beige:

 

[Bunsen]

A single wanted post to my local Freecycle group sure served me well

 

[MacTCP]

I picked up the G3 today. Here's what it was:

450mhz B&W G3

No HD

640mb RAM

Zip Drive

CD-ROM Drive

Original Keyboard

I gave some RAM to my G4, so the G4 has 1GB, and the G3 has 340mb.

:beige: :b&w:

Very nice!

First free B&W I've heard about and a 450mhz model no less. The 450's all had the later revision motherboards and ROMs, so a lot of bugs from the earlier models were worked out by the time they were released. One worth keeping for as along as you can keep getting parts for it.

 

[MacTCP]

Yes, I am liking this mac very much. I'm looking at HDs right now. [] ]'>

 

[bluekatt]

very nice they can take up to 128 gig hd's

 

[aphetica]

Awesome score. I've always wanted one of those.

 

[MacTCP]

This HD would work in a B&W, right?

 

[tmtomh]

Should work just fine.

 

[bluekatt]

bog standard ide drive i dont see why it wont work

just remember to jumper it correctly it wil save you a lot of hassle later on

 

[MacTCP]

I have a 20GB HD for it now. :beige: What OS should I run on it?
