I will soon be getting all my friend's old 68K stuff! it is as follows:1) LC 475 (36MB ram, 160MB HD)
2) external CD 300I (I tried to get this from him for my spare 24X CDrom drive, but he knows how fun they are too.)
3) syquest EZdrive (funny little 'carts. 135MB version)
4) 14IN. screen (crisp.)
5) SCSI scanner (this was mine to begin with, but they have a G4 cube. 'nuff said.)
his famaly got it as their first computer when my friend was 2 (back when a quadra 950 would have been out of reach for most people) and when they decide to get rid of it all, guess where it's going! my friend asked me to set it up in his room, so I don't think I'm gonna be getting it anytime soon.

I hav several spare. if you want one, we could take this to the trading post, or we could go to AIM (if you have it, I can't check when I am writing something).hehehe! I allways used to love my external caddy loading CDrom drive (back when we had a 386 as the main computer, and was a pritty good machene for it's time) I used to love just putting in and ejecting the cartrage for hours and hours. years later, I used it on my mac classic (which was the first mac I ever owned) for playing CDs and games that required a CD drive, but not a very fast computer. one day, my dad siad "sell that mac!" (because he has a bug up his ass about macs, much like the rest of the planet who accept inneficiency and inflated and unnecicarry expense as the norm) so I did. I then got a centris 650 with an 88MB cartrage drive, and decided to pull out my old drive and plopp it in. I did, and enjoyed the funny whirring and "bbshhhb" of the thing ejecting. one day, my little brother accually lived up to his normal threat ("do this or something bad will happen to your computer!") and kicked my computer. it happened to be open at the time (more ram and a new hard drive was needed, and I was working) and my little brohther kicked it across the room, against my wall (fortunately, the hard drive was out at the time, and stuff didn't happen to it) I plugged it in, booted up, and it didn't work anymore. I pounded him into red sour cream. nuff' said THnx

Anti-Mac people are like warts, they just never seem to go away. And when you think they are gone, they come back. Most of the people I work with are non-Mac types, GAWDD!! they drive me crazy!!
