I can hardly wait for Tuesday!!!!
« on: December 15, 2006, 06:16:32 PM »
Grabbed a 6 month old Power Mac Quad 2.5 from with 2.5 gig memory, 256 mg. video card, 500 gig HD and some other stuff, and it left Georgia, headed for here via Fedex; should be quite a step up from the 733 G4!  Oh yeah, and 2 yrs. of Applecare! Guess I'd better get my helmet and seat belt on, eh?  Ohboyohboyohboyohboy!!!!! (Can ya tell I'm excited?)

As usual, I checked the guys history, which stretched back to '01, and he only had about 13 sales, but reviews were half-and-half from both buyers & sellers, evenly distributed over the years, so I went ahead and took a chance, after exchanging a few emails with him.  Tracked it's first 2 stops on the way here. . .

Well that sounds loud, you can probably run those audio files, recorded during the storm, and shake a few more trees into submission.  whistling.gif

Great find! Good luck! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Make sure you put rubber feet on the bottom of that thing, otherwise, it might jump out of the room! You might want to strap down any lose objects, also! WOW! WOW.gif envy.gif

Are you near the International Date Line?
If you crossed it, would Tuesday come sooner or later?
Yeah, I know, it will come sooner or later.
You'll just have to wait.

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.
