Giving Away a Beaten-up, Rev A iMac that still runs OS 9
« on: July 05, 2022, 10:36:47 PM »
I have no use for it myself, but he still functions (at least he booted up successfully when I last tried a few weeks ago), and could use a good home.

There is some external damage (see photos). And, there is no keyboard or mouse.

But, I'm NOT looking to sell. I'm perfectly fine giving him away. All I ask is that you cover shipping if you live outside the Mesa, AZ area. That shipping may come to somewhere around $100.

I'd be interested, and, in luck... I live in Tempe.

Oh beautiful. Would you like to meet up this Saturday at maybe a Starbucks or something midway between us? Or, do you have another preferred way of retrieving the machine?

Where are you at in Mesa? I'm right off Broadway and the 101. Happy to meet up wherever.

Hmm... it's late and with my fried brain I'm still trying to juggle a few things. Let me think about this and get back to you. I'll pick somewhere roughly (hopefully) equidistant between us.

TTYS,

Keith

There's a Walgreen's near the corner of Stapley and Southern. I figure the parking lot there's a good place to ... pass off the package (sounds like we're doing something illegal  ;D)).

Let me know what you think.

Also, if this works for you, how is 2pm for a time?
