Since used Macs are a "drug on the market", most Macs wind up in the Goodwill's "bargain barn", untested. Twice a week they will purge themselves of obsolete 'puters. This is a fine time to strip the Macs of any hard drives, RAM and PRAM batteries. No need to buy the complete machines if the clerks will let you "inspect" the machines. I usually wind up with a few hands full of hard drives, RAM, VRAM and batteries (remember: take the top of the battery box, too) and the usual tab is usually a few dollars. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
