the first macs i encountered were late 90s and i thought it was some of the nicest hardware i'd ever seen. i used to really enjoy taking 2 or 3 junk pismos and making 1 good one, generally in under an hour. similarly with the g3 imacs. and my g4 dual powermac was really fantastic in look, feel and function
i was less moved by my current stuff but never had any issues with either unit. the 2005 G5 quad powermac is still my main machine and the 2007 core2duo mini also runs without a hitch On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 7:15 PM, Peter Frederick <psf...@earthlink.net>wrote: > I just revived a 2006 MacBook Pro with flaky video by reflowing the logic > board and cleaning fans.
