The seller of this Plus wants $65 for it, but for good reason- it's faster than Windows!  666th poster and 666th thread-creator

That is the MacCharlie keyboard thingy! But no MacCharlie..That's kinda weird though...wasn't MacCharlie for the 128k? Also the Plus shipped with an extended keyboard (128k-512k keyboard + keypad). That plus has the old(er) keyboard...
hmmmm *strokes long, thick, black invisible beard*
That trackball is mighty nifty...Ti's 512k has one, if i'm not mistaken.....mmmmm...my Plus is already nagging me!

i already emailed the seller and asked for the brand-names of the trackball and extension, because i might make an offer. if it comes back "dayna" i'm going to try to get it for a hack/reproduction. please don't spook the quarry! jt ™ p.s. i'm going to bid on a software package that includes the maccharlie disks! p.p.s. i'm officially addicted, i nabbed a PAS 16 sound card for another hack! eBay is going to be the end of me, i can tell already!
at least i'll have a smile on my face! p.p.p.s. it would be SO cool if the person who gave this mac to the seller forgot to include "just one little extra thing" now wouldn't it! Edited by - Trash80toG-4 on 10 Apr 2002 18:21:36 |

I didn't even notice the MacCharlie keyboard add-on...wow, if he's hiding a MacCharlie somewhere, it really would be worth more than $65!! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator

The trackball is definitely Apple (I spotted the Apple logo on Ti's and this one is exactly identical). I am 99.99% sure that keyboard extension is of the Dayna MacCharlie variety...I guess you could say I have a sharp eye? --------------------

it looks that way to me too, but somebody might well have OEM'd it for them and it may have been available under other brand names, dunno, haven't heard back on my inquiry yet, drat! i wannit! i wannit! i wannit! dammit i wannit!  jt ™
