676253 2008-06-07 05:25:00 I haven't bought an entire computer in about 10 years.
Went up the shop and saw an ad on the shop noticeboard, thought I'd just go have a look what bits came with it....


I bought it.

But it was real cheap..........:wub

676258 2008-06-07 07:32:00 "Cheap" and "Mac" don't go in the same sentence. :p pcuser42 (130)
676259 2008-06-07 08:29:00 "Cheap" and "Mac" don't go in the same sentence. :p

They can do if it is a refurbished one:p But generally Mac users go for quality and value over cheapness. ;)

So anyhow pctek what did you get?

676260 2008-06-07 10:40:00 There is good quality, medium quality, low quality and then there is that nibbled but seldom swallowed fruit. And value is a variable, whatever turns you on.


Hope you gave yourself a good discount Pctek.

676261 2008-06-07 21:10:00 A fit of madness really, no doubt the novelty will wear off in a couple of days. :o

Its specs:

7mhz 32bit CPU
(16-bit data bus and 24-bit address bus)
512k RAM
37.5 Power supply.
Resolution 320x256 (up to 4096 colours)
4 channel 8 bit sound
1 x 880k FDD

$40
There was a printer too but I left that.

Amazingly the lady had all the original books, leaflets and the warranty card. It had a 90 day warranty! And we bleat about 1 yr rubbish nowdays.....

Still as husband said, look how long its actually lasted...........18 years (its the Plus model).
