I might be able to get this! (If I can get $16.73 more within a month, as right now all I have is $12)

Best of luck. 🙂 Just one little bit of advice - never post a link on here to something that you wish to bid on. 😉 I think most people here are pretty good about not bidding on something that someone is seriously interested in, but its still a good policy to go by. 😉 For that reason I personally only post links to auctions that I either have already won, or have no interest in bidding on. 🙂

OK!

Gah, I have to admit I had my eyes on that before. xD

I am very tempted on that one. But I'll leave it. 🙂

A few people have posted items from ebay that I was looking at myself (before they mentioned it).

There is no such thing as dibs on ebay auctions so be carefull that you might tip off somebody who will get into a bidding war with you.

Good luck winning the acution (I am not bidding).

Can you point me to a monitor adaptor? All I have is 1 VGA monitor. preferbly cheap, as i only have $10.15 left after the LCIII

Posted by: JRL on 2009-08-05 19:27:13
Yeah, it can use a mouse only.

And Mike R. had one in his store, but they're gone. 🙁

I thought you needed a KB to turn it on?

I allready have a mouse.

Um... http://www.adoptamac.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=104&osCsid=ca361f47e9205f673767f2d5a6d55ca3

(Not sure if my mouse still works.)

EDIT: oh, you mean he had a VGA adapter?

EDIT 2: when I ebay "vga db-15 adaptor" i get VGA gender changers! 🙁

No, the LC series uses a simple flip of the switch to turn it on. 🙂

And glad to see you found one based on your TP post! 😀

The entire LC pizza box series does not have soft power, unfortunately. This means there is a flip switch on the back, like the Compact series. Therefore you cannot power it on "remotely" via keyboard.

Why unfortunitly? I prefer "Hard Power"

OK... I have come up with a name for it: Treebark

I have no idea how that popped up in my head, but it stuck there.

Each to his own - it's a matter of personal preference I suppose, but I do just find soft power to be a nice convenience, especially for machines setup in such a way that it becomes more difficult to reach around the back for the power switch.
