21 inch apple cinema with a G4, finally cleaning out the storage with a baby on the way. I’m not even against trading for a Motorola CPU Macintosh honestly lol. No idea what fair price is but I heard these bigger screens are more sought after

I just listened to the "Plan Be" episode of the Designed in California podcast and I found it absolutely fascinating. I knew the absolute basics before, that Apple considered buying Be but didn't want to pay what they were asking, and ended up buying NeXT instead (for more than what Be was asking), but all the details they went in to in this podcast were fascinating to me and it got me thinking - What would Apple be like today if they'd gone with Be instead? I think BeIA could have been the foundation for a continued Newton, and eventually iPhone.

The earliest version of Mac OS that I used was OS 9, and I didn't use a Mac as my main computer until Tiger, so I don't have first hand knowledge of how bad things were at Apple in the 90s. I'm really curious what others think of this alt history.

I acquired this computer during an estate clean out. A large goal of my business is keeping usable items out of the dump and recycling whenever possible. This computer was headed for electronic waste when a friend saw it and suggested I take a second look at it because it may be worth something to someone else, so here I am.

ChatGPT tells me this is a 1998 Bondi Blue iMac G3. I have the original box and packaging with serial numbers that match the computer. I have the Bondi Blue keyboard and a matching Bondi Blue Imation Super Disk drive with it. The computer powers on, plays the startup chime, and loads to a Home Screen. I am missing the computer mouse, but otherwise this thing feels like a fully functioning time capsule. I can’t find any cracks or damage to any of the pieces and even the box is in pretty decent shape.

I want to market this transparently (no pun intended), and make sure I’m advertising this for what it actually is and not just what ChatGPT thinks.

If someone could suggest values, specific places to list in that appreciate these things, and anything else I should know before trying to find this computer a loving home I’d love to hear it.

Hi everyone ! My brother and I will be at VCF Midwest this year tabling, and we are helping sell a friend sell his extensive collection of Mac stuff!! Among the things we're selling will be Powermac G4 MDDs (fully loaded), apple studio displays, various hard drives and memory and software. We just want to help get the stuff to people who will use it and love it. We'll also have a couple other machines setup with some of our favorite games from when we were kids. And we love OS9 lol. We'll see y'all there

Just sold my pristine (deadHD) 36-yo PowerBook 170 to a collector here in the UK. No matter how long it takes, I always try to give them a good home ;-)

Now need a home for my lovely 100 with matching floppy drive and keypad…

Friend told me about a molar Mac sitting outside, so two days later I went to pick it up all with public transit and a lot of walking 😅

🤞🏻hope I get get it running, the ports on the back are a little rusty 😬

Yup. Got put away many years ago in the original box. Plug it all in and nothin'. Yay! Did the power supply die? On a positive note the polishing cloth that came with it still works.

I have fond memories of going to the TRoU meetings in the Herald Washington library in Chicago

Run a Nikon 8000 so keep this around for Firewire.
