Posted by: mrpippy on 2017-01-10 16:12:23 Picked up a TiBook battery charger from Goodwill online, even came with a yo-yo power adapter in good shape and a TiBook battery with some capacity! Should be helpful for keeping my handful of TiBook batteries charged up.

Posted by: mrpippy on 2017-01-14 13:24:40   3400c, 5300cs, 400 MHz Pismo all in original boxes. All in working condition too, although 5300cs has wrecked hinges. Also got a bunch of software (some in boxes), this came from a former mid-90s Apple employee so there's also some interesting marketing material (Apple Demo Days binder, ARPLE CDs, MacTest Pro)

Posted by: Carboy7 on 2017-01-14 13:41:13 Why do the Californians always get the good stuff? (Don't answer that 😛 )

Posted by: CC_333 on 2017-01-15 10:13:54 I seem to be in a part of California that doesn't get this sort of stuff, which is ironic since I'm within driving distance of Apple HEADQUARTERS! Maybe I just don't look hard enough.... c

Posted by: mrpippy on 2018-09-01 00:03:42 I picked up one of the last machines I've been wanting at an estate sale last month--a G4 Cube, with 15" Studio Display. Nothing special specs wise, just the usual 450 MHz with Rage 128 although it has been upgraded to 640 MB of RAM. I love having the whole setup--it just isn't the same without matching monitor and keyboard/mouse! /monthly_2018_09/fullsizeoutput_3b49.jpeg.040d5f9cffed2babeeee0e4360b4aac8.jpeg

Posted by: tanaquil on 2018-09-01 02:18:36 Very nice! It’s great to see the full setup.
