It breaks my heart to take this Dual 2GHz G5 to the recycle bin, but that's what I'm going to do on Monday, 24 March, if no one picks it up in Gambrills, Maryland, about 12 miles west of Annapolis, by that date. Perfect working condition. 2.5GB RAM, two video cards, two 250GB hard drives, Samsung LED display. Airport wireless, FireWire 400 & 800, SuperDrive, Gigabit Ethernet, weighs a ton. Everything but the keyboard and mouse (uses latest USB peripherals). No non-Apple software included. Great file server. Amazingly fast, reminding me once more of the superiority of the G5 over Intel processors--if only they had been able to make them run cooler. Dollar value of this machine somewhere near zero. Positively no delivery and no shipping.

I know exactly how you feel. I have a perfect 2002 QS sitting in a bedroom doing nothing, have not been able to bite the bullet on it like you. But I did throw out some old school sports gear from when I was 8 to 11 years old. And I did give away the majority of a lifetime's framed photographs (these seeming to have more universal appeal). -- dorayme

That's kinda the point. It's certainly going to be worth more to someone other than you than yourself. In fact, I just looked at some recent completed listings on eBay and found prices between $100 and $395 for similar model: eBay Link: <http://preview.tinyurl.com/o3gjkjn> Personally, I'd probably auction it on eBay with a starting price of $150 and see where it goes from there. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

Those little things can sit on a shelf and easily serve web pages, email, or other things all day long without complaint. Seems at the very least, you could list it on eBay for $10 and see what comes of it (sold to locals only), though. That's probably what I'd do (only I'd ask just under the current market price based on recently closed auctions for that model). -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

I consider it far less trouble to use something like eBay where you simply ship it off to them after receiving payment. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

I consider it far less trouble to have somebody come over to my house to take it, than have to box up and ship something as big and heavy as a PowerMac. To each his own, I guess. -- K.

To each his own, I guess. Indeed. That's why my post said "Positively no delivery and no shipping." I found a taker, and I found him on Craigslist, my earlier experiences notwithstanding. He is a collector and fixer-upper of old Macs. I apologized for this one being in perfect working condition. He seemed a very nice fellow, and after a bit of mis-communication managed to arrive only 1-1/2 hours after promised. Five stars. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

News flash: Not everyone on planet Earth has the same opinion as you. If I have an opinion, I can state it - and there's nothing you can do to stop me. Sorry if that chaps your ass, but this is Usenet, and that's how it is. You seem to love repeating that you've killed my posts every chance you get. I hope that gives you at least some enjoyment - seems maybe you need more joy in your life. ; ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

To each his own, I guess. Not me. If I can avoid having to invite some stranger over to my house, I'll gladly pack something in a box and give it to the UPS driver the next day. : ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
