Just got an LC II

Author	Topic
scchicago Full Member USA 936 Posts	Posted - 04 May 2002 : 15:26:42 I talked my dad into taking me to some thrift stores around town (to look for 68k Macs WHAT ELSE?). I went to Goodwill first, nothing there. So, I then went to The Salvation Army Outlet down the street. I went to the electronics section, and something caught my eye! It was an LC II!!! It came with everything. Microphone, keyboard,RGB Monitor, and mouse. All for $20!!! _________________ HotLineServer: scchicago.dynodns.net Website: http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE AIM:scchicago87 Yahoo!IM:scchicago

I had an LC II for a while- it seemed soooooo sloooooow compared to my sooped-up SE/30 and my Centris 610. Man, how times have changed... Have fun with it!

This LC II's internal HD is twice as large as that of the LC. What happened to your SE/30? My SE is stil running strong, although for some reason its kepboard is malfunctioning. _________________ HotLineServer: scchicago.dynodns.net Website: http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE AIM:scchicago87 Yahoo!IM:scchicago

It was a big step from the LC II that I had been using... -------------------- keeper of the website and beholder of the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™ --------------------
scchicago Full Member USA 936 Posts	Posted - 04 May 2002 : 20:10:37 I know. At least the LC III is faster than the LC II. The LC and LC II are the same speed. _________________ HotLineServer: scchicago.dynodns.net Website: http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE AIM:scchicago87 Yahoo!IM:scchicago

If only I could. _________________ HotLineServer: scchicago.dynodns.net Website: http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE AIM:scchicago87 Yahoo!IM:scchicago
