2008-11-29 Mac G4 Cube

A Mac G4 cube, missing the power supply. Pity, the power supply is worth more than the cube, testing will commence once we borrow a spare power supply. Also present the keyboards pictured, a 1st generation 450Mhz iMac and a mac flatscreen. A competing scavenger got the screen and those iMacs are too slow for us to bother with now.

Update The thing works fine though now but the IDE ribbon was pulled out of the HD. Was this a primitive attempt at data security by the previous owners we wonder? Probably was considering the tricky nature of the mounting. Contents of the HD:

• Lots of private school, country club type stuff in the web cache
• Pictures continue this theme, plus happy home life.
• A fair few hits to "forgotten password" pages. Bad memory or email account hackers? We report, you decide.
• HTML purchase receipts for such diverse items as vaseline and Victoria's Secret stuff saved to home dir. Yes, really.
• mp3s, not many but surfing compilations and other similar.
