Just got a new mac for free[views:2260][posts:32]_________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 6:04pm - Niccolai ""] not brand new, but new to me. I'm fucking pumped. some retarded guy used to live upstairs from me and recently moved out and left an old Imac and some other trash on the porch. I know Imacs aren't the top of the barrel, but it's got os 10.2, a gig of ram, 40 gig hard drive, and final cut 4 on it. not to fucking bad for free. I don't have a mac keyboard though so I can't do very much with it until I can afford to buy one. |

| ____________________________ [Jul 2,2007 6:09pm - ZJD ""] Is it the one that's a dome shape with a flat monitor sticking out of it on an arm? |

Oh christ, the one with the animated commercials that made it look more like you were buying a puppy than a computer? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 6:15pm - Niccolai ""] No, it's a little older: [img] it was free though, so I really can't complain. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 6:27pm - Niccolai ""] anyone have a spare mac keyboard they wouldn't mind parting with for cheap? |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 6:31pm - thegreatspaldino ""] i have one that doesnt really work too amazingly... the a key triggers the caps lock... so like your sentences look like "hey there bABY... WannA HOOK UP SOMETIME?! LOLOL!" |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 7:22pm - Kinslayer ""] Go to the apple menu and pick the first option "about this mac". I wanna know what OS its running, what it has for processer and memory. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 8:19pm - Niccolai ""] processor: 500MHZ G3 |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 8:23pm - Kinslayer ""] Reading skillz? Pshh..I skipped to the pictures. HE DIDN'T mention the processor!!... (yes, I'm kidding) |

| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 8:41pm - Niccolai ""] Not too bad for the thing being like 10 years old though. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 8:47pm - hungtableed ""] I got an oldschool G4 and I think it's the shit. I only use it for recording and whatnot, but I enjoy having a Mac also along with my Pc...even though Mac is run by a bunch of fuckin commies. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 8:52pm - timjohn ""] that is pretty sweet for free |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:02pm - Niccolai ""] I have a problem, I can't install anything on it because I need the user password, but I don't know it. if there a way to reformat the computer windows style without having to know it? or a bypass or something? the computer is worthless to me unless I can get by that. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:03pm - timjohn ""] you could always just brute force the password |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:13pm - Niccolai ""] :( |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:18pm - Kinslayer ""] If you have install discs (I have a bunch) you can restart w/ the CD and completely erase/reformat the HD and re-install 10.3 |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:22pm - Niccolai ""] I don't have the disks. 10.2 is what's on the computer now. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:27pm - ArrowHead is watching you ""] How cute, your first mac problem. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:32pm - Kinslayer ""] I think my discs may only work for a G4...but you can get a G3 install disc on ebay, easily and cheap. And a keyboard. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:39pm - Niccolai ""] I'm not really willing to put money into it. if it comes down to it, I'll just toss it out. can I make a new user or something with a different password like on windows? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:47pm - Kinslayer ""] Go to System Prefs in the apple menu... Click Accounts on the bottom left... Then click the + sign on the bottom left... If it asks you for a password, it's protected by the Admin so that no one but him/her can make new accounts, if not, you're golden. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 9:57pm - Niccolai ""] You are my fucking savior. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 10:04pm - Kinslayer ""] Been on a Mac since 4th grade all thanks to private schooling and my dad. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 2,2007 10:13pm - Keithnli ""] keyword = FREE |
