Aside from e-bay and resellers, most of the Macs I've acquired either had nothing done to remove user data or the other extreme, the hard disk removed. I got a Pismo for a nice price but I did have go online and find a supplier for a replacement drive cable and carrier. They had pulled the drive / carrier and cut the drive cable. In addition to no power cord, emphasize the (presumably) dead battery. The worse it sounds, hopefully the cheaper they'll go. -- -- 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.
