Cool haul from non-profit recycler

Got an e-mail that the non-profit recycler had more Mac stuff.

Power Mac G4 450 MHz Dual w/ nice specs - $40

Had an OF password but I got it cleared. Installing Tiger now. It's my first Dual G4 so I'm keeping it around. I wonder how it compares to the 500 MHz single and the 533 MHz single with 133 MHz bus.

Power Mac G3 beige desktop, monitor, keyboard, mouse, SuperDisk drive, couple of random bits - $10

PowerBook 520c w/ power adapter, batteries, door and PowerBook 190 Series (missing drive/battery, no adapter) - $20 total

What's awesome is that I came 45 minutes after they closed and the last guy was just fixing to leave, but he saw me pull up and opened it back up so I could get the Mac stuff, and when I only had $20 cash, he said I could just pay the rest on Monday. This is a great place, I really need to volunteer there some time.

Compared to that 733MHz you sent me, many things. I also tested it against my single 450MHz. Gawd dual cpu's are awesome.
