  6. Free Imac/quadra 610

    in Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod

    Posted

    First of all, you need to know what Freecycle is. If you don't, it's a "nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own town". You basically put up and Offer and Wanted ad, and someone responds with the item you asked for, or asking to take the item you offered.

    Well, one came offering:

    Vintage Macintosh computers

    The iMac is a 1998 PowerPC G3 - 233 MHz - 32 MB RAM, 4 GB HD, 512

    cache. The regular desktop is a Macintosh Quadra 610, maybe about 17

    years old. We also have some CRT monitors.

    I'm thinking of getting one of them. It doesn't matter which one, I like old electronics, haha. Is this, (in your opinion) a good deal? They're free, so I'm thinking they are, but I don't know. I sent the guy an email asking if they work, come with keyboard/mouse, etc. He hasn't responded, but I sent it an hour ago, so I don't expect him to have. I'm not going to do anything "real" on the computer. I just like to fool around, see whats up (I guess you could say) on older computers and such.

    Thanks in advance!

    Happy Thanksgiving! I'm gonna help my mom with cooking the turkey and other stuff! We have 2 ovens/stoves this year since we opened up the apartment on the second floor, so it should be easier! Drive safely if you have to drive!

  11. My First Play

    in The Arts

    Posted

    In school, (Westminster Senior High School) we are doing a play called "Play On!". It's about a play, and the people in it, and pretty much everything that can go wrong does, and how they try to pull it off. I'm only stage crew, but its really fun! The people are all nice and cool, and the guys even have a special tradition, of which I can't tell you, that we do in the dressing room before opening night. Its a really weird tradition. Opening night was last night. It was great. The actors accidentally skipped a few pages, (not sure if all at once, or one page a few times) and our sound guy was really mad, he couldn't find the page. Also one of the actors was sitting on the couch, and the other actor was supposed to run to the couch and fall on it, or something, and when he did (this didn't happen in rehearsal and wasn't planned) the couch slid, hitting a table, and the plant on the table fell off. Well, the plant had metal wiring stuff in it to prop it up, and make it look like spheres, and the metal hit the floor, with the pot in the air, and the plant bounced back up in the air, then the pot came back down and cracked. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it looked great, in my opinion. We have another show tonight and tomorrow night. Can't think of anything else to say, so bye!

  13. Thief

    Got this in an email from my friend, Ian. I think it's hilarious, but it took me a bit to understand...................

    A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables; and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

    He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables.

    Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, Clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.

    Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

    Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.

    "Yep," said the parrot, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

    The burglar relaxed. "You warn me? And who in the world might you be?"

    "Moses," replied the bird.

    "Moses?" the burglar laughed "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

    "The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

  18. Funny Ebay Listing

    in The Comedy Club

    Posted

    i love ebay, i use it a lot. in fact, im selling my DS on it as i we type (kinda like, "as we speak", but only, typing). i have in fact had only 2 of about 30 total experiences that were "mess-ups" one, i bought a sega genesis CDX (sega genesis that plays both cartridge and CD games) for about $30. got it, it was broken, emailed guy, got our money back. Then i bought a Halo 2 black "elite" that came, the left leg had broken in either packaging or shipping (it was new in box). Emailed the guy, got our money back. Besides those, ive bought tons of things, another (working) genesis after the broken one, a gamecube, a dreamcast, a sega master a PSP, many assortments in toys, etc. ive sold my gamecube, and my N64, and am now selling my DS, and with the money i plan on getting either a grease gun airsoft gun, mp40 airsoft gun, or a camcorder, probably from ebay.

    I must say, I love ebay, and the few problems ive had has not annoyed me, nor turned me off of ebay one bit. All you gotta do is look closely at the pictures, try to only buy where it shows of actual item, not a stock photo, read description carefully, check rating, and when negatives on rating, see why, might be other persons fault.

  23. File Loading Problems

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by jamaicaman

    Ok, well, I play Call of Duty 2 online, and a couple friends and I made a clan. I was appointed as mapper/modder, so we can have a nice mod/maps for our soon to come server. Well, I decided to create some maps, since I didn't know how long it would take, and didn't want to be rushing to make some right when the server is up. I came into some troubles:

    Ok, this is the Readme, just showing you what it is I'm supposed to do.

    ScreenShot032.jpg

    *In case you can't read it, the highlight says: On running CoD2 radiant for the first time, you will need to load the included cod2.prj project file located in \bin.*

    This is me, selecting the cod2.prj from \bin, as asked of.

    ScreenShot029.jpg

    After that, I get this:

    ScreenShot030.jpg

    *This one says: FATAL ERROR: Could'nt load default_localize.cfg. make sure Call of Duty is run from the correct folder.

    GetLastError() = 3

    An unrecoverable error has occured. Would you like to edit preferences before exiting Q3Radiant?*

    If I click no, it goes back to the Desktop, but if I clcik yes, i get this............

    ScreenShot031.jpg

    ..........and I have no idea what to do here, and am I supposed to be here? I dont think so, the earlier window said "FATAL ERROR", and my friend, fed up with the program, said there is a giant grid, I don't see a giant grid here.

    Thanks
