I have a Mac Plus, Three SEs, and an Apple Imagewriter II printer. While it used to be neat to have them, now they just take up space. What are good places to give them a good home? (I don't want them in the dump :) I've tried eBay and I've even offered to give them away for free to anyone who will pay the shipping on this site's buy/sell forum. Any ideas?
 
do you have pictures of them? :)

i'd love to give home for somehitng like an old quadra ... remodified to a new mac. or maybe do a maquarium or something like that ... i'm too lazy to search for pictures in apple-history ;)
 
Get rid of? Are you even worthy of owning them in the first place? You mean pass them on to new appreciative owners, don't you?

ebay is always good.

The everymac link is one of my faves for getting specs and the like. It's especially good for reffering to your item of sale. (eg. links galore)
 
The computers all work, but they have no mice, and the SEs need keyboard cords. I've never tried the printer since I don't have the cord. All the SEs have dual floppy drives and 1MB of RAM. The Plus has one floppy drive(but no HD) and 1MB RAM.I would really like to keep them, but I don't have any room for them. I have a few more old Macs that I'm no getting rid of.

I am a (sort of) animal activist, in that I feel that all animals should have at least a some-what decent home. From what I know of them, I think that MaQuariums are pretty cruel to fish. Any comments?

Well, if you just put the water right into the CRT, that can't be good, and same with the plastic. I don't know, the idea just seems sort of cruel. I may be totally wrong. Does anyone have any photos of a MaQuarium?

Woah! :eek:
You have to gut the mac first and insert an acrylic tank inside of the mac. Its not cruel at all, same as a regular tank. Take a look --> http://www.redlightrunner.com/macaquariums.html
