Freecycle - Tons of liberations

[tmtomh]

I was intrigued by Quadraman's advice in this thread - http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1408 . He said if you post a Macs-Wanted message in your local Freecycle, folks will come to you.

Boy, Quadraman, were you right! Within 48 hours of posting I'd picked up the following from folks in my area:

- Beige Power Mac G3/266/320MB/4GB/OS8.6

- Power Mac 7500 with PowerLogix G3 upgrade (220MHz/512k L2, running at 260MHz)

- Power Mac 6500 (haven't booted yet to see configuration)

- Club Mac external SCSI CD/RW drive

- HP Scanjet 5530 USB scanner with autofeeder and slide/negative capability

- Syquest 1.5GB SCSI Syjet drive with two cartridges

- Two 100MB SCSI ZIP drives

- Dazzle analog video-USB bridge

- 256MB RAM SODIMM for Powerbook G4

- Canon BJC 4550(?) inkjet printer (have to double-check model number and test the unit out)

- SCSI cables, serial cables, microphones, etc.

- Full retail box of OS X Panther (already sold)

- Adobe Photodeluxe 2.0 Mac/4.0 Windows

- iBook G3 OEM disc set (Mac OS X 10.0.3)

I've got more stuff to pickup soon, including some old iMac G3s and (I think) one or two more beige G3s.

Thanks for the idea, Quadraman!

You obviously live in a bigger metro than I. I post, and can't get squat.

Of course, I'm looking for specific things, because I'm married and can't just bring home "tons of junk!" anymore.

I guess I'll start it off...
