FireWire is fast General, 4 star USA 1559 Posts	Posted - 05 Feb 2002 : 21:55:10 Just to let you people know essentially, liberation is taking a 68k Macintosh computer from an un-loving environment (ie: dumpster, garage sale) and bringing it to a loving and caring environment. similarly, buying a 68k from eBay really doesn't count as liberation unless you get an outstanding deal, it is painfully obvious that the seller has no clue what he/she is selling and Mac in question was not loved/cared for dig? -------------------- FireWire is fast General, 4 star beholder of the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™

But if you buy a Mac from eBay, how do you know that the seller hasn't just cleaned it up to make it look more attractive to hook buyers? Thats what i was talking about to Graphite Goodness earlier on this afternoon. -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!!

macdaddy Junior Member USA 107 Posts	Posted - 06 Feb 2002 : 09:37:52 Here is one eBay auction that would be "liberating" the poor Mac [a Quadra 610]: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2000900297 From auction text: "...If not sold it will be thrown away. If you need just a piece (or pieces) of it let me know. If not auctioned here it will be trashed." Very Very unloving environment for this mac. Noooo!!! Not the trash if it is not sold!!! Poor Quadra, even though it is only a 610! macdaddy 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 68K Macs liberated : 9 Edited by - macdaddy on 06 Feb 2002 09:50:15

Rexzilla Junior Member 132 Posts	Posted - 06 Feb 2002 : 18:28:11 Hey Moose! You are a big spender...lol! I don't need any 405's. Have a stack of LCII's and come to think of it a 405 and 410. It does make me cry that a guy would throw out a 610 on ebay...that is still a usefull machine and still in one of my favorites.
macdaddy Junior Member USA 107 Posts	Posted - 06 Feb 2002 : 19:52:13 I'd save that 610, but I dont have liberation money. :( I am poor - a college student with no money to spare, and my financial situation does not allow me to actively liberate Macs which I have to pay for [I'm still in search of a Mac that I may find lying about and the person just lets me take it home]. Anyone want to liberate the Quadra for me, hehehe? I don't have a 610 in my ranks of liberated 68K Macs. macdaddy 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 68K Macs liberated : 9
MacMoose Junior Member USA 176 Posts	Posted - 07 Feb 2002 : 07:31:19 Just a heads up. I have bid on the Q610. A whole whopping $5.00. At least this way it won't go in the trash. I figured that I make a decent living, and aside from a few one dollar LC* series that I have bought, five buck plus shipping won't be that much. And just so it is known, it will be added to the liberation count! ------------------ MacMoose Medical Spec., 68k MLA Total 68K Macs liberated: 6 and counting ------------------
