I just sent a message to somebody offering 3 PPC macs. 😀

Hope you get them - but with Freecycle and free computers, don't count your chickens before they've hatched!

I have to agree - I've gotten some great stuff via FreeCycle (and Craigslist), but at least 9/10 of them fall through.

Let us know how it goes!

Hardly anyone around here knows what a mac is. :-/

With it being called (3) Fully operational Mac Power PC (good shape ), some people might not realize it's a computer. [xx(] ]'>

yes, but everyone knows what "PC" means. 😉

oh, a powerful pc!

but there's hope! :-x

There hasn't been any update at all. The fact that an Eeyore Stocking got claimed in 7 minutes worries me. But the fact that a Win98 PC got claimed in 2 days makes me keep up hope. It's so suspenseful. [8]

Wanted ads work!! I made a wanted ad, and I already am getting some sort of G3 without a hard drive, and more. :beige:

A single wanted post to my local Freecycle group sure served me well

Posted by: MacTCP on 2007-12-07 14:52:28
I picked up the G3 today. Here's what it was:

450mhz B&W G3

No HD

640mb RAM

Zip Drive

CD-ROM Drive

Original Keyboard

I gave some RAM to my G4, so the G4 has 1GB, and the G3 has 340mb.

🙂 :beige: :b&w:

Very nice!

First free B&W I've heard about and a 450mhz model no less. The 450's all had the later revision motherboards and ROMs, so a lot of bugs from the earlier models were worked out by the time they were released. One worth keeping for as along as you can keep getting parts for it.

Yes, I am liking this mac very much. I'm looking at HDs right now. [🙂] ]'>

Posted by: bluekatt on 2007-12-07 20:38:55
very nice they can take up to 128 gig hd's

Posted by: aphetica on 2007-12-08 03:53:54
Awesome score. I've always wanted one of those.

Posted by: MacTCP on 2007-12-08 20:13:00
This HD would work in a B&W, right?
Posted by: tmtomh on 2007-12-08 21:05:43
Should work just fine.

Posted by: bluekatt on 2007-12-08 21:24:34

just remember to jumper it correctly it wil save you a lot of hassle later on

Posted by: MacTCP on 2007-12-13 19:52:38
