| Scored a ton of Apple Developer CDs on the cheap! |
Posted by: JRL on 2010-10-10 20:17:12
I took a trip to a Goodwill (non Computer Works) today. I've been extremely lucky in the past at this specific store; I scored a working PB 170 with the 1 GB SCSI HD upgrade for $5 a year ago.
I take a look at the rack, and an Apple Developer CD catches my eye. And another, and another...
I ended buying about 15 for $1.49 each, and I got one for free because there was no price tag, and the Goodwill lady said since I was buying up all of the developer CDs, she would just give it to me for free. Best of all, some of them were the ones containing SSW. Didn't spot any other notable things, unfortunately.
Super happy!

Wow that awesome JRL! 😀
You plan on posting a list of which AD CDs they are?

Several people, I'm sure, and even my own humble person, would be interested in copies of these.

Hmm... aren't most of the developer CDs on the web already, or am I mistaken?
Anyways, I'll try and see if I can make copies, but I thought that the .isos were on MacGUI.com already.

Nice find indeed. The titles crack me up :lol:
There are some dev CDs online, but not that many. And there's sure to be some goodies in these as they're quite old ones, so isos of these would be very welcome.

Well, I'll see what I can do. I haven't even tried them out though yet, so yeah.

Hmm... aren't most of the developer CDs on the web already, or am I mistaken? No, they're not. Hence why I asked. 🙂
Anyways, I'll try and see if I can make copies, Thanks. I'd love to add them to the Vault collection. |

Sorry about that Dog Cow, just making sure.
And I know I'm gonna get shit on for this, but am I going to get in trouble for making .ISOs of these? :/
Besides, the only unique thing I see on the CDs so far is the System 7 Pro Beta installer. Everything else is already on the web.
