So today I went to Fry's and picked up a couple neat things at good prices, all in a way having to do with my Macs.
Samsung 120GB 840 Series SSD (Non-Pro model) $100 (couldn't find it any cheaper) (for the iMac G4)
2.5" to 3.5" SSD converter for the iMac
16 in 1 Tool Kit for Apple Products, has 3 pry tools (one looks like a guitar pick, the other 2 the standard stick style), suction cup, and 12 screw bits (from SIM ejectors and those pesky iPhone screws, to T20)
And perhaps the icing on the cake,
As I was walking through the Apple section and out of the corner of my eye, I spot a box with a white Apple logo surrounded by grey on a box and thought it was something old, but it turned out to be a graphics card upgrade for a Mac Pro. As I looked down, I saw a smaller one, with green, grey, and white. I knew it had to be something older. I picked it up, and the label said "Rechargeable Battery, 14" iBook". :O An original, genuine 14" iBook G3 (dual USB) battery (compatible with iBook G4) that was a store return, marked $75, registered as $10 at checkout.
My iBook G4 reads it had 1 cycle before I got it, so not to bad. I also got the original box, albeit, a bit dirty with the stickers fading, but hey! Can't beat $10. I guess someone picked it up, saw the price tag, and was like "HOLY C***!". And threw it in the middle of the current Apple products. I remember seeing it last time, and thought the price was ridiculous. This was before I got my iBook, so I also had no need for it.
