Re: [MBZ] OT: Bought a new computer monitor

Actually, a couple of points. The G5 was the Professional Mac during a period when Apple was very heavily pushing the Xserve. Of course you can't turn it sideways and mount it in a standard rack. You want a rackable Mac, you buy the Xserve. It was designed overlarge on purpose. The Mac Pro is

Re: [MBZ] Stick 123 project for Clay

And you are wanting how much for this super engine that will end all my problems? It's drag and drop ready, yes? All parts already there and hung on brackets? All I have to do is turnkey and go? One of my biggest problems right now is working my way through the irrational fear I have about

How close to that, and what kind of trade would you give me for a running 83 240D that hasn't been winterized in forever. (Once it drops into the 40's, she won't start) Ed On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 7:15 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.netwrote: I have a euro 300d manny with heated seats I

[MBZ] Here's an interesting anecdote I thought I'd share.

No MB content, unless you count me offhandedly mentioning my W110 and my W123. There, MB content. So, the W123 doesn't like to run once it hits 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Last year I bought a 1998 Kia Sportage that someone appears to have left in a flood plain for six or seven years, then pulled out

I had this happen to me the other day. Key would still open the trunk directly, but placing lock in central lock mode would not open trunk. A couple days later my door locks stop working too. So, at least in my case, there appears to be a vacuum leak. Perhaps a slow leak is causing a similar
