Hi Rob, Where do you go to pick up your almost-free or cheap macs? The landfill, businesses around town, etc? I am working on building my own collection and have not figured out the local sources yet! (I am asking this on list for the benefit of others who are salivating like me at the chance of finding stray old macs.)
PS Off list note: If you are looking to sell some of your excess, could you contact me privately off list? I know you weren't intending to advertise! Alternatively, if you have time, maybe you could fit them up with basic systems and give them to some worthy cause or interested user? I hope to be able to do that eventually. a fledgling collector, Sara on 9/12/2002 8:51 AM, Rob at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've got to think that in most places in NA, these compact Macs are easily > acquired.
