x2 Powerbook 100 for Free.99

Posted by: JRL on 2017-06-29 22:30:09 It's been a while.  My additions to my collection have been pretty infrequent as of late. However, on Reddit I saw an ad for somebody giving away their old collection. They were nowhere near me (in NV) but I had a friend help me get the following: 1 PowerBook 100 (nicer condition) 1 PowerBook 100 (rougher condition, missing bottom mouse button, some minor screen/cosmetic issues, no HD bracket) Each with their own PSU Both do not work, presumably to leaky caps. and (not pictured) 150 assorted original Mac software floppies (nothing exiting, but lots of original MS/Claris software and a complete set of original System 7 disks) I traded my last PB 100 for my 2300c, and while I love my Duo I always missed the 100. I hope to fix these up soon!

Posted by: EvilCapitalist on 2017-06-30 10:35:49 Slang/amusing way of saying "for free"

Posted by: CC_333 on 2017-07-02 20:20:48 OH, I see! Because everything's like some dollar amount plus 99 cents (i.e., $xx.99). Yes? c
