[q] Lowend Mac's

Howdy. The old humbled doc has been working on a crappot of X86 computers and giving them away to homebound and disabled people in my hometown. I have given away about 70 of them. Here's my problem, I buy the cases and stuff at auctions and have started a collection of lowend macs that I am sure

[q] Mac LC580

Here is your Mac deprived and humble doctor again. I have 16 Mac LC580's some of which the hard drives are blank or don't register at all. Some, from various schools, has administrator passwords which stop me dead in my tracks. I give these away to disabled and homebound people and have given aw

[q] Information Request

This is the Mac-challenged, and humbled doctor requesting some information on some monitors I got in a lot sale. They have a RCA plug in in them and I have RCA cable. My question is, do these only fit in prehistoric Macs that also have a RCA plug in or is there some kind of adapter to use them on

At Ease

I buy computers for next to nothing on Ebay, fix them up, and give them to disabled people in the area. I have some Mac 5200/75's that came from a school in Texas and they are controlled by a program called At Ease. Lot of good educational programs included but you need to have a password to get

Me again

I normally don't like to blow my own horn but the doctortom refers to my PhD in Computer Technology. In the late 80's, I only used Macs but none since. I recently got a Power Mac 5200/75 in an auction and am planning to use it quite frequently. The problem I have been having is that it has OS 7.

Help!

I have OS 7.5.5 and am trying to open the Extensions in the Extensions folder. I get a prompt that comes up and says that if I want to open this Extension, I need to put it in the Extension folder. This happens on all the Extensions and, yes, they are definitely in the Extensions folder. I have
