I got my hands on a vintage Lombard (Apple PowerBook G3), which is in pretty good shape. I’d like to use it for webstuff around the house, if I can upgrade it to OS X. It currently sports a whopping 64MB of RAM, so I am hoping to find an extra PC66 144pin SO-DIMM with at least 128MB of RAM and a HD with at least 10GB of storage space. Any chance one of you has some spare parts floating around that match these specs?

Looking for an Old School Disk Drive
Hi Geeks,
I’m looking for an old school 5 1/4″ floppy disk drive that will fit into a standard bay. A buddy of mine has a bunch of old data from way back in the day that he’d like to copy to a more modern storage method. I know a lot of you often have some old stuff sitting around. I’m looking for a drive or if you know of a place I can find one cheap. Any ideas?
Sonnet Aria extreme PCMCIA wireless 802.11g card for sale
A friend of mine recently purchased a Sonnet Aria extreme PCMCIA wireless 802.11g card for his PowerBook. Unfortunately the PCMCIA slot in his machine gave out, while the card is still working just fine. He is looking to part with it for the best offer. Any takers? This card is Win compatible (98 SE, Me, 2000, XP). The three year warranty is still in place. If you are interested, please contact Tom @ tomo@thomasoliphant.com

Looking for a used TFT monitor
I recently inherited an old PowerMac G4. I don’t own any external monitors (have been a laptop user for years). Therefore, I am wondering if anybody had a resource for an old TFT monitor. 15″ would be great. Thanks.
Server Harddrive Swap
So, the big day is 2/20/06. The two new harddrives are here – the challenge will be to transfer the files, as I cannot operate two Raids in the machine at the same time. So somehow, I will have to move the data off the existing Raid onto the new Raid, without having the drives in the machine at the same time. I would rather not have to go through and reconfigure the server (after reinstalling it). So, the question of the day is, how do you move an entire server system and the files onto that new Raid. Any ideas? Help wanted.
Need cheap used PC laptop
Hey there folks… I have a friend who is looking for a good deal on a used, cheap PC laptop. His current Dell that he bought two years ago off of a friend for 2 bills is beginning to give up the ghost. He does not have much to spend but needs a deal and is not the eBay sort of guy. If anyone can help let me know.
