Apologize for not sending to the list first off. Gmail makes it awkward.

A G5 is not a useless crap computer. By comparison there is only one machine at NB that is stronger than a G5, the rest are a best half as good both in terms of speed and picture quality.<div>

There is not a shortage of computers for hacking at Noisebridge, there is a ruthless and efficient crap mafia making sure that Noisebridge doesn't fill up with useless broken hardware. Broken computers are not at all in short supply, and seriously, nobody should consider bringing their broken computer to Noisebridge unless there's a specific use for it.<div>

I vote yes. IMHO there is a shortage of computers for hacking at noisebridge.<br>iMac has small footprint and is easily moved about with built-in monitor. If powersupply is bad, probably not too hard to fix that. Much better than the two old G4s that are unused (one a 400mhz).<div>

Friend just sent me an iMac G5 20/2.1 (FA064LL/A) that died on her, that she'd like to go to a good cause. not sure the source of problem -- and don't have time to investigate -- but it's totally dead, no signs of power. drive's been pulled but she said everything else should be there.<br>
<br>
if someone wants to give it a go, i'd be happy to pass it on to Noisebridge. would like receipt (just for something to help offset her shipping costs). faster service if someone's able to pick it up at Cesar Chavez & Pennsylvania, otherwise could be a week or 2 before i'm able to drop off.<br>
