Macintosh 512Ke's photo

Macintosh 512Ke

I was the first person to message the previous owner of this Macintosh. After my message, he said he got other 10 ones but he kept the computer for me. Guess I was luck.

Power Mac G4 Cube's photo

Power Mac G4 Cube

The previous owner had a huge collection of Macs and even a Next (someone came first). He had 3 G4 Cubes and this one was the one with most memory. Regarding the computer: the Toaster-style CD-ROM was a bad idea. I need to rotate the computer everytime that I need to eject a CD. I needed to buy a Firewire HD and CD to reinstall the Mac OS. Finding a right Mac OS 9 image was challenging.

iBook G3's photo

iBook G3

Bought this iBook in a batch with the PowerBook Prismo and iMac G4 for $140. It has dual-boot: Mac OS 9.1 and Mac OS 10.1.3 (supports up to 10.3.9). The battery doesn't hold charge, there is a line in the display and the Apple logo is missing but other than that, everything works. This model has a Airport Card but it only works with WEP networks.

No CD-ROM for this laptop, the right bay is empty. Back in the day you could even add a zip drive in this model. The battery doesn't hold charge. Currently with dual boot: Mac OS 9.2.2 / Mac OS 10.4.11. It has a Airport Card but it only works with WEP networks. It didn't have a charger and I got one for $1 in the VGH Thrift Store on Mar 09 2019

MacBook 17

The 17" model was not around for a long time and I got this one in a good shape (there is just one small dent). His previous owner gave me an extra 4GB memory and the machine works like a charm. Sometimes I think in installing more RAM and a SSD and see how this computer can perform in these days
