| Why can't I hold all these Quadras? | |
Posted by: CelGen on 2012-06-18 21:03:01 So I was given two more Quadra 700's from a friend who needed them gone. Didn't cost me a penny but they came with no hard drives, no VRAM, no memory, no NuBus cards and no promises they worked because he was using them for shelving. So now I have FOUR Quadra 700's, TWO Quadra 950's, and ONE WGS 95. I don't run a graphics design or CAD company. I'm not sure what I could possibly do with this many quadras. | |
| Posted by: Strimkind on 2012-06-18 22:21:16 Nice grab. I'd love to get my hands on a Quadra, but they seem to be few and far between here across the strait. | |

| Posted by: IIfx on 2012-06-19 07:03:00 Its a meme. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/limes-guy-why-cant-i-hold-all-these-limes "Why Can’t I Hold All These Limes? is an image macro series featuring a man attempting to carry several limes in his hands while they appear to be falling from his grasp. Derivatives often feature other characters failing to secure a variety of objects."  I hope someone here gets what the image above is referencing. Hint: Portals Back on topic: You can never have enough Quadras, or so I am told. | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2012-06-19 19:10:12 It's been a full day and I still can't think of any personal uses for them. I got piles of ProTools gear and Avid boardsets I could throw in but I already have a Media 100 set in my 950. | |
| Posted by: redrouteone on 2012-06-19 21:14:31 If you decide to sell let me know. I am planning to catch a Canucks game this fall. I wonder what customs would say trying to bing a Q700 back into the US? :lol: | |
| Posted by: ClassicHasClass on 2012-06-19 22:02:20 They would say, "please step out of the car, sir, grab your ankles and bend over." (I once drove into eastern British Columbia for a grand total of 45 minutes. When they scanned my passport on the way back to the USA, the single guy at this backwaters customs checkpoint freaked, assuming the only reason someone goes to Canada for 45 minutes was cheap pot or something { in this case it was to photograph the Kettle River }, and searched my car. Upon searching my car, he discovered my mobile surgeon bag, containing first aid items, surgical instruments and DRUGS!!!! { lidocaine, antibiotics, antiseptics, Betadine } requiring me to also present my California driver's license and physician's license to prove what I did for a living. After about ten minutes of this, he gave up and let me through.) | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2012-06-20 00:12:52 Man, you got it bad. I go through the Peace Arch at least once every two months to attend an SRCS meeting with the car crammed with computer gear and on the way back it's filled with even more stuff from RE-PC. Only once did they flip s%@$ because something still had a Boeing asset tag. | |
