But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

@21Q..........
If you find one with OSX, and decent hardware, PM me how much it will cost to ship. I'm unemployed, and have been since January, but if there's any way I can do it, I will. My wife needs a newer mac. Her old one has about had it.
Thanks!

well they all come (so far) with os x, but the hd's are 10gb ALL of them (so far) and only 64mb, u probably don't want them, I've only found one g4 and I have JUST enough money to bring it to standerds, so tell me,I really have no other means of getting them anywere ( I might not even be able to ship it due to some circumstances ( although I don't look it, young age computer geek, so my parents 80% won't allow it, NO I'm not 10) hey I can tell you were I get them, also, ebay, I can make it prefered buyer only, making you the only possible buyer, good cover up for me, anyway, location is in hoboken nj, if you live near there tell me, I give you adrress, pick up a few, tusdays and thursdays are the best so far.
If ya do pick ebay, 00.01 cents plus ship, I found it for free, it'd be unfair to sell it.

HD and memory is fine. I can use those out of old one. Monitor is what's going bad in old one.
But, I live in NC, so I won't be going to NJ any time soon. :o)
I don't like eBay. Thanks anyway, but don't worry about it. We'll be able to buy a new one in a couple years.
Thanks for offering though........
I was kidding, when I said send it to me. But, when you said ok, I started thinking how we could do it. But, my situation won't allow it right now. It's all I can do to buy a 15 pk. of blank dvds at the moment.

I was Blockbuster a month ago and there were two trash bags at the exit and I just ask if I could have them and they said yes. I must have gotten 150 of the black ones. One had the yellow stirp in it. I could not get the damn thing out. So I opened it up to figure out the device. It's two magnetic cylinders on each side that have to be pulled in opposite directions to disengage the locks.

I'm so bummed. I don't have anywhere to go dumpster diving anymore. I live in this high rise aparment building now and I have a trash shute ... a large shaft that disappears somewhere into a basement or sub-basement...no dumpsters anywhere around the building. Its rather like a small elevator shaft that goes straight down...so I can't just jump to see where it goes LOL! I'll bet there's some great stuff people throw away in this building!

Hey you guys this may sound stupid but I sell stuff on ebay right? Well the boxes for shipping are outrageous like $5 for a good size box(each) and odd sizes are really bad.Well if you go behind grocery stores they throw out boxes of all sizes! Just go and take your pick.No need to dive because in my case they're just sitting there outside the dumpster or along the back of the store!
This goes for many places that recieve lot's of inventory(furniture places for instance).
@anubis heh heh heh... yeah those hookah's can be upwords of $100-$200 from the local headshop/smoke store.Yeah, you have to break it in with the good stuff! Hey man rubbing alcohol will clean the tabacco resin out ,just use que tips or what not.It's safe and you can look it up online if you want,you see the alcohol dissipates leaving no trace behind plus it's not very harmful anyways!

yeah, i just cleaned my pipes and slide in boiling water. its really nice. alcohol is nice too, but we dont have any that i can find.
the other day i also found an old pentium in the trash. it had 4 AIM accounts with passwords saved, lots of porn in the temp internet files, a program to hide your tracks and delete porn history (obviously failed), and a voodoo3 3000 gpu.

You know I have heard about that but never wanted to dirty up the pots and pans.It was always those color changing ones or maybe the regular chamber ones that I cleaned.Hey I bet the resin floats to the top lol.

After all the B.S. about Best Buy "recycling" used hard drives, I always introduce all old hard drives to Mr. Mossberg and Mr. Remington. No more concerns for personal data loss. Makes for fun on a weekend morning.

No, there are several cases of customers bringing in computers with malfunctioning hard drives who have had their computers repaired with new drives, who have been assured by BB Geek Squad that the original hard drive was destroyed, only to find out later from another individual who had also had their computer repaired at BB that the original customer's hard drive was in fact alive and well in someone else's computer with all of their personal information, E-mail and internet accounts still in existance. Lawsuits are now flying over this. Look on CNET.com for other details.

21Q- Use all of these cases well I eventually I hope too! Basically I throught becoming enlightened to this Sport -hobby /activity - Dumpster diving - By Jvc's post have become an Inveterate DVD case collector " fREE IS free " Or is that Inverterbrate collector ? I always get those two things confused ? Wait I have a backbone must be the 1st. one LOL! I do it for the fun - once you start it gets kinda habit forming and to eliminate the cost of buying dvd cases from this hobby ( DVD Burning) of ours. If you buy them at wallyworld they're like $1.00 each even if you buy online cheaper than that way cheaper but Free is cheaper than cheap - Also most of the cases Blockbuster throws out are heavy duty ( the lockable ones) particularly and they would be very expensive if you bought them yourself ! And your recycling to boot ! Sorry if I wandered from your main question but it may help explain the lure and lore of dumpster diving better ! good luck 21Q & Happy Diving !
