GORDOOM Junior Member Canada 208 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2002 : 11:03:49 It won't be such a picnic for me next year, let me tell you. I'll be living in an apartment (with a much smaller bedroom than I have now) with two unrepentant Windrones. I have already been threatened with death if I allow any of my Macs out of my room for any reason! And, to make matters worse, it's going to be harder to make Swap Shop hauls, because I'll be living some distance from the campus and I don't drive! And unfortunately, large parcels of computer equipment tend not to work so well on public transit... (Though Brian may be willing to help, if I ask really nicely and maybe help him haul some old PC stuff... shudders at the thought) GORDOOM Commander, Academic Operations Reserve (University of Toronto, St. George Campus) total Macs liberated: 19 (as of May 29, 2002) "...the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

After spending a week trying to get it to run headless with Timbuktu so I could use it for an MP3 player hack, I finally gave up and used its larger hard drive to replace the one in my wallstreet.

AnubisTTP Junior Member USA 308 Posts	Posted - 11 Jun 2002 : 15:16:15 The two lunchboxes are a Kaypro 2X, which has a flaky power supply, but will boot. The other is a Televideo that I have never gotten to work, it was part of a lot of Televideo equipment that included a server (with a whopping 10 megabyte hard drive) that hooked up to multiple dumb terminals with serial cables. I think the lunchbox may be a dumb terminal as well, and the hard drive in the server is shot so I can not test it.

Slomac636 Junior Member USA 103 Posts	Posted - 27 May 2003 : 12:55:50 Right now the demands of my employment prevent any further conquests, however you can see my main Mac at the link below. When I am finished with my current employment, I will no doubt spend greater amounts of time pursuing additional Macs. I have seen a few that I wanted to purchase, but either funds or SAF prevented the purchase. (She dosen't know I have 9 Macs, she thinks I only have 3) P.S. - I cleaned up my desk just so you all could see what I really have. I've since replaced the StyleWriter with a Personal LaserWriter 300. Macs Liberated: 9 - 6400/180 (main Mac), 660AV, 636CD, LCIII+, LCII (2), Classic II, Classic and SE.
