Hey there, got a few general questions about a situation I've come upon. I figured this was the best place to ask :)
One of my sister's teachers was just given several Mac powerbooks and told to use them or throw them away. Evidently they need work, and she was just going to toss them until my sister mentioned that I could probably get them working. Anyway, the upshot of it is, if I can't get them working they'll likely be thrown away, and I hate to see a perfectly good computer get thrown out. My main question centers around screws. I don't know what model these powerbooks are, do other models have the same T8 size torx screws? Or small screws of other types? I'm hoping that I can solve any basic hardware problems, and if I can't get them running, perhaps save a few of the useful parts (memory, maybe whole logic boards). I have seen a few Duos around this county, so it's entirely possible they may well be duos. I really hate the way government schools treat classic computers... it's as bad as Hollywood and classic cars... Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
