Update: The machine has been claimed!
My sudden surplus of free time has given me some time to do some thing I’d been meaning to do but never got around to doing. One of those things is doing a little decluttering, and as a result, I have a number of computers that I don’t need anymore.
Rather than put them up for sale, I’ve decided to give the computers away to people who need them. I could put them up for sale on eBay or Craigslist, but I’ve decided to use this opportunity to do a good deed and put some goodwill out there. Some of these machines might be a bit old for everyday use and are probably of interest to collectors, but giving you an old computer makes your day better and frees up my space, that’s a good thing.
This is an oldie, but if you pine for the days of pre-Return-of-Jobs Apple, you’ll love this machine. It’s a Umax C600/240 PowerMac clone from about a dozen years ago. Some of its specs:
It comes with an AppleVision 17″ CRT monitor, SuperMac ADB keyboard and Apple ADB mouse. It’s got a whole bunch of old Mac software too.
You can’t anymore — it’s been claimed!
I’ve got an appointment right now, so I’ll have to write about them later. Watch this space!

The cloning period was a bleak time to be an Apple user - ever-worsening financials, Microsoft seeming to pull further and further ahead, and what felt like stagnant hardware coming out of Cupertino.
I'm SO glad that's over - although I do miss having real serial ports, and of course the Newton.
