Hi all, I've been doing a little looking around on eBay lately, as well as my college, and I'm perceiving a market for inexpensive but useable computers. Many students at my community college aren't exactly rich, so many of them try to buy inexpensive laptops or have to use our buggy at best computer lab. Needless to say, there are a lot of cords running around our student center.
My thought was, most older Macs are far more usable with a basic set of applications on them than even newer netbooks (point in fact: my brother's one-year old netbook couldn't run full-screen YouTube videos even when brand new, and it chokes on almost any graphics-intensive operation, such as SNES9x, which runs fine on my 300 MHz iBook clamshell). So, I'm wondering if repairing and upgrading Macs for resale would be a viable source of income. Does anybody (well, other than PowerBookMedic and other relatively sizable operations) do this? Obviously, I would be starting off with PowerPC Macs and working my way up to intel models as my net profit permitted. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
