are you surfing on a windows box? the "™" (TM) symbol doesn't work on the fritter forums at all, i think it's part of mordorsoft's demonic ploy to "standards-jack" the web into proprietary territory under the influence of the dark side.

That's just probably crummy JPEG compression. I don't think somebody of that intellect would know how to utilize Photoshop's blur function.

but, if you look, there is a neat little box of blurring around "macintosh SE". I hope the person who bid on it knows what he/she is getting...

THnx

I saw that auction too, I would think that an SE might sell for more than Mac Plus. :sigh: he should pay someone to take that

Lol, the stupidity of that one is pretty great. I can't help but wonder how anyone wouldnt be able to just read the name on the front....

Or maybe he just exepcts someone to not look at the picture and end up buying a load of crap IIvx....

oh well, gave me a good laugh.

Dude, that IS an SE. It looks exactly like the one on the desk right behind me. I think the blurring is just bad jpeg compression.

HAR™!
I've still got the original manual to my Macitosh SE!
The original packing list!
This looks like a photocopy but noone can be sure "Apple II and Macintosh Computer registration card!

THE APPLE WARRANTY CARD! *the card that tells you the warranty details!!!

According to the registration card it was originally purchased at a microcenter store in Columbus, OH!

To think the original keyboard wasn't included in this package.

settle down kids, the seller of that 700 has 69 auctions going at once and from the look of the post-it note i think it's just a .jpg file mixup! anybody wanna bet?

the other one is a DORK!!!!!

err. . . check that. . . . she's jus' not quite as sharp (technically astute) as the MLA Babe Brigade!

btw: welcome back Kadie Mae, we haven't heard from you in a while!

Mandie's been MIA for a loooong time too!

I noticed this auction too.

Rather than assume the seller was an idiot or a liar, I emailed her (yes, with a user name like "dianeshmi" it is obviously a woman) and pointed out the discrepancy. She wrote back almost immediately, apologized for the error and explained that she was selling this for a friend and hadn't noticed the mismatch. She then amended the auction to clarify that it was an SE.

How old are you guys? Geez.

The auction closed at $27.77 - not bad for an SE.

Wow...um....chill out mcdonnel? It was obvious it was some kind of mismatch, I don't think anyone was implying any stupidity towards the seller, we just found it funny that it said Plus and had a Plus user guide and the computer was an SE. It was just for amusment, thats all. chiiiiiiiiiiil...

Hmmm...i just thought...

Is it possible someone may have haxored a Q700 mobo into it? IIRC, you can use a IIvx PSU on a Q700 mobo...
