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

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>
