| I didn't know Houston had a Value Village |

Ran some errands today. Went to the post office and then to the storage unit. To get to the storage place I took a cross street that I've never driven on. Right next to each other on the street, is a Salvation Army store and a Value Village!
I went to the Salvation Army first. They had one monitor, one PC, and one keyboard, all over priced. Next, the Value Village - it was like night and day. They had several monitors, Compaq computers, printers, DirecTV receivers, and, one Macintosh IIsi!
Looks like it has 8 MB of RAM (4x2 MB SIMMs). Hopefully it turns on - my old IIsi didn't and it got parted out.

I love finding stuff in thrift stores, but lately, the local Goodwill has been marking anything having to do with computers up; I saw a Quadra 630 in there once for $74.99!
Congrats, though 🙂

It does turn on and boot from a floppy. The included hard drive seems dead. Another drive made clicking noises. I tried a 1.2 GB HD but it still won't mount. I hope it's not a bad SCSI on the motherboard 🙁
Luckily I have a spare IIsi board so that might come in handy if necessary.

I'm a big fan of the IIsi. What a good looking computer.

Another happy Value Village customer. Value Village is my favorite store. They have everything. If only the store in Sudbury had computers when I go there.
