Not long ago I read of someone, perhaps someone on this list, who'd reached over 100 machines, after giving up smoking and spending the $$ on macs. My mac obsession did start with spare $$ from giving up - 11 months for me - it's far cheaper in the end, and far more fun :D Why Quadras? Going back to when I liked the look of LC's (but not owning any macs at the time) I was heavily into Amigas. 68030 and 040 CPU's are what I knew well. It's a bit of a recapturing-a-never-misspent youth, mixed with staying with what I know. I'm very heavily into collecting by case design now, and Q605's for me are the top there. I may as well collect their family!. x100PPC's and 68030 macs also have a place in my home. x600's and G3 minitowers are the next phase I think - just because they're kind of pretty, and because cheap obsessions are just eccentric like that :) dana -- unnaturally hosted on a Q605, http://www.danamania.com/ -- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I have goodies amighty now that nobody wants. I've tried rescuing whole boxes in mass, and rescuing bulk parts by ransacking the boxes. The Macs that I passed up went straight to the dump, not even to the recycler first. It's gettin sad out there. When institutions flush out old hardware, jobbers bid on the stuff in lots, what they can't make use of they put out at auctions and flea markets for scrapper/salvagers like me, the Fred T. Sanford of Macdom. (I did not do this to myself on purpose) A year or so ago I'd have walked across Texas (or at least a few blocks) to get the widget that would keep an old Quadra in service. Right now, me, the dog, or these 50 SuperMac Spectrum 8 cards have to go: the dog is sweet, so it's me or them. Speak now or forever. . .Will anyone ever want a 7100/66 board again? Ever? If you are going to go to the trouble to disassemble the machine down to the board, you'd be nutz to put a 66 board back in when you could put in an 80 for $3-$5. So what's to do with the 66 boards? Say 100 of them? Sigh. -- All the best, R.A. Cantrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I can tell you, having paid money for a couple of these ancient machines that there are a few folks buying them. Probably just not enough to put a dent in your collection.

Re: Nearly a gross of IIci's Re: It's not hardware....
. .Will anyone ever want a 7100/66 board again? Ever? Well, when (if) things ever get settled down in places like Afghanistan, I'd bet the schools there would love to have just about any computer. Of course they need some electricity too, so info from sites like http://www.otherpower.com which shows how to build powerful but dirt cheap wind and water powered generators from scratch using super strong magnets from hard drives would be very useful. :) Hmm, a homebrew wind turbine, a rack of absorbed glass matt storage batteries*, charging and regulating electronics, PLUS a few pallets of old Macs. That would be quite the aid package, eh? :) Way cheaper than photovoltaic and even works at night if the wind is blowing. Everything but the batteries could be found used or built from scratch or basic components by local labor. *Those are the ones that look like a giant six-pack. They'll take rapid charge and discharge, can be discharged almost to zero without damage and gass off so little hydrogen under charge that it's as close to nil as you can get. They don't spill and can be mounted in any position. My sister delivers pizza for Dominos and drove around with one of those in her car for a week after the alternator quit working.
