    That Mac was a very high end machine back in it's day...I still use a similar overclocked G3 Mac tower for some CAD work...A real workhorse...

    Below is a link to show you the specs:

    Asking around, it looks like maybe only profit about $50 or so if I knew it was working. I will hang onto it for a little while, but I think its going to get scrapped out unless somebody wants the MOBO and cpu/ram As Is.

    If you used them to write your post,
    they are not very good at writing.

    Once upon a time I was in need of a job and needed some help with my writing.

    I used the Evelin Woodhead speed writing coarse and my writing improved beyond my dreams.

    I sold some around 50$ but mostly scrap them - they are such an overengineered pain to break down though IMHO.

    That is very rude and disrespectful, perhaps English is not his native tongue. We have members from all over the globe on the forums.

    Whoo boy .... i couldn't agree more. Way overbuilt. Seems like Mac intentionally went out of their way to make em' disagreeable to work with. There's a certain satisfaction the comes from running one over with a backhoe and then plowing it up into the shred pile.

    Very true, with the advances being made in AI, independent thought may become a thing of the past.
