I really like the way it looks. Like a baby Emac

Yep, I've tried it on another Classic. An interesting feature, to say the least.

I've received a Macintosh Classic from a good friend of mine. He's a collector too, and once intended to get into Vintage Macs. Sadly this never happened (he ended up getting into Commodore, as well as other stuff, though this is just fine). It's in a Basic configuration, with 2MB of RAM, and a...

Hmmm, more Spam

Nice, those Ultra 10's were worth a nice chunk of change when they were new. They still command a fair price even today, $50 is a pretty good deal. It's good that you got the Keyboard/Mouse, they can be really, really hard to source sometimes. If it has another Video card installed, it should...

Nice find! And an excellent deal too. especially considering the nice shape it's in! Tandy 200's do seem to be rare, nowhere near as common as the model 100's anyhow.

Whoops, guess I forgot to update my Profile. I'm actually Canadian , and was living in Ecuador. I got back to Canada about a week ago. It's very good for both of us, and I get to say I'm doing work for Charity too (need to get brownie points from somewhere...). And accruing a huge amount of...

Most of the Laptop's are complete, and I'm in the middle of digging out my Universal Laptop power supply to test them And yes, I do collect old PC stuff. It's a Fantastic Deal ;D

Well, a friend and I have made a deal with a local charity (Computers for kids, they put together computers for the less fortunate....and children too, apparently). They receive a lot of stuff from Donations, but half of it they can't use, so they recycle it. But, they don't have neough time to...

I've picked up a couple of Sun Microsystems workstations from a friend of mine. 1 is a SparcStation 2, and the other is a Sparc Ultra 5. The Ultra 5 has no hard disk, but everything else is there, including 64MB of RAM (The Ultra 5 also has a name! It's "Lyra", and it's clearly emblazoned on...

Well, the LCD did survive, though a 2-centimeter strip on the bottom right corner behaves strangely (it sort of "mirrors" the video next to it). It goes away away if you flick the bezel beside it :p Only the lid is in bad shape. The rest is in good condition. It works just fine, and boots...

Went to the Recycler again, this time I picked up a Powerbook 520c, for free. It's in nice shape, except for the top cover, which is badly scratched. There's also a small hole in the top (The only reason it's scratched/Holed is because it got literally thrown into a recycling heap)

Well, in addition to the iMac I picked up, I also scored a number of SCSI items. -1 LaCie Jaz Drive (No cartridges) -1 Compaq 20/40GB DLT drive (Really big, and in nice shape) -1 Yamaha external CD-Writer -1 Optimac 160MB External SCSI hard disk -1 LaCie 36GB (Seagate Cheetah 10K RPM drive...

Went to the local Recycler/Charity today. Got a hold of a beat-up iMac G3 (For Free). It's one of those late model Snow-colored ones. It's 500Mhz, has 640MB (I think) of RAM, and a Hard disk (which seems to be dead, or lacks a system). It boots to a "Can't find system" icon. It's in fair shape...

Attention Brazilian Members! I have found 2 Macintosh computers in São Paulo that may be of interest to you. I have found a Quadra 950 and a 5200/75 in a Shop downtown. I can't take them back with me though, too heavy. Any Collectors here in Brazil (Specifically in Sâo Paulo), now is your...

hehe, Yo hablar Espanol y Ingles. I'm actually Canadian, but living in Ecuador, but am currently in Brazil visiting a friend. Complicated, no? I'm very pleased with my finds so far. I've also found the following today.... - 2 Internal Half-Height Single-Sided Drives. I found them at the same...

Greetings from Brazil! I'm traveling down here, and took the time to take a look in the Sao Paulo Electronics District. Found some things: -a Performa 6230CD (With the funky Video-in card and MPRG decoder). Not too remarkable, but proudly proclaims "Feito em Brasil" ("Made in Brazil") on it...

Good find! You wouldnt't happen to be in the Saskatoon Area would you? I saw a 7300 on Saskatoon's Freecycle a while back. Good to see another Canadian!

I'm working on that! They aren't very common at all. I think it's because when 8088/8086 clones came out, they were still very expensive, and didn't sell in huge volumes like 80286 clones and the like did. Well, in my experience they're nice little machines. They didn't sell very well though...

Hehe, a 386 is the newest PC I'd keep (well, maybe a 486). Everything after that is no good. This excludes the newer stuff though (2002 and older). I keep that stuff because it's useful You'd be amazed with what you can do with this stuff. Not as useful as a Mac though. I collect a wide variety...
