I have heard this of the Classic II a few times. Literature seems to indicate of it, but the only expansion socket on either of my ClassicIIs is the FPU slot - which is not an LC PDS. Anyone got one with the card in it I could get a pic of? Perhaps its a non-US machine thing? > The quality of (probably pre-Amelio, maybe pre-Jobs II) Macs was > incredible.

A dude in Sweden got a Titanium and drove a 1.7 tonne car over it. Screen was smashed, but booted using the external VGA monitor, internal keyboard/trackpad etc. I know of a place that when they get their laptops in they throw them out a window. if they break they send them back and blame UPS. The Macs they do from the third storey to "even the competition". They still make em like they used to :) Peace Aqua -- Outback Mac is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Outback Mac list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/obmac.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/outback.mac%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
