    Is this too much $ and work for a noob.

    Update: so I’ve decided to take the advice of those here that steered me to an SE for my first compact making this post “solved” I guess. I’m not getting this Mac Plus on fb marketplace. Thank you all for your inputs. Master class as always.

    Oops. Sorry. A G3 tower. I had a beige PM 6400 but sold it to a much better tech than me after not being able to solve an issue with it. (In my past posts if curious)

    Tempting! Thank you. I’m still on the fence with this Mac plus but I’ll def reach out if I get it. $30 seems really fair! Can I assume it’s tested and works?

    Will this 2011 LG “Super Multi DVD Rewriter” optical drive fully work/be plug-and-play in my 700 MhZ G4 iMac?

    What is Cheapest, easiest way to get video out on my duodock (with a 270c loaded inside)? If avoidable I don’t want to try to buy and ship a big apple monitor with the DA-15 as I am just trying to determine the operating condition of my duodock to get it ready for sale. Is there some sort of...

    Can anyone ID this RAM?

    It says “Mac Memory Inc.” “Max Plus” 1986 on the back. Is it for a Mac Plus? SE? Something else? Helping ID it for a friend. Thank you.
