I was just talking to a guy off the MacAddict Forums on AIM (Blink, for those who go there), and he told me of this place near where he lives that has over 100 68ks that will be recycled unless rescued. Unfortunately, i obviously can't join in on this effort, but i'm raising an alarm for those who may be able to. Now, for the terms and conditions:1. You must be willing to take a lot of Macs, say 10 or 20 2. You must arrange this through him, so the place can be unlocked. IM him ASAP on AIM. His screen name is The Ian Man 85 3. You must go by the end of November, or the Macs will get destroyed 4. The guy is NOT going to ship these: You need to meet in person and pick up the Macs yourself. According to him, LCIIIs and SE/30s are pretty much gone, but there's still a crapload of stuff there. There may even be a PPC or two. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

awesome! maine you say? only about 4 hours out of my way. i could make it a day trip. if i DO get a hold of some of these... i'll be glad to send some to anyone who wants them, if they're willing to pay for shipping...UPDATE:
i talked to the guy, he says there's mostly LCs and LCIIs, some 575s that are missing cd-roms and floppys, monitors, and some apple II stuff. i may go up there sometime in the next few weeks and pick up about 20 of them... (or as many as i can fit in my car). I'm not 100% sure yet, though... UPDATE:
well, my mom doesnt like the idea of me getting 20 more macs on top of the 6 that i have... but she didnt say 'no' so i'd say 75% chance of getting them. where these are mostly LCs i should be able to fit a crapload of them into my car... so anyone who wants one (or more) is welcome to them if i get them if, as i said, you'll pay for shipping.

I'd probably be intereseted in a cpl, and I only live in Southwest PA, so shipping wouldn't be overly bad.~The Penguin **| Want free 68kmla email? Drop me a line |**

I grew up in Portland Maine. My whole family is still there and my brother has a small army of old computers networked in his apartment. I'm sure I could talk him into getting some of these macs if the guy is close enough. One thing to not forget, Maine is a big state. It takes about 8 hours to drive from the southern tip to the northern tip, so it depends where this dude lives.mathgeek 68K Macs Liberated: LC, Performa 636, Mac Classic II

he said lincoln county, about 35 minutes south of augusta (or something like that) so, contrary to what i said earlier, i don't think i'm gonna make it up there to nab a crapload of free macs. my parents don't seem to like the idea ("isnt 4 computers enough?" yeah, right) not that they can stop me from doing it, but they'll probably be really pissed if i do... --
