Our yard sale find Sat. morning, it's big and a it's a Mac, something we just don't see around here at yard sales
#1
My wife and I were headed for the local farm supply for fertilizer and seed corn Sat. morning at about
9am. We turned the corner in our little nearby town and there sat a Mac tower on a table at a yard
sale, my wife saw it first and we just had to check it out. A local business was moving and had
recently upgraded to iMacs. The tower looked great, I was hoping a Mac Pro but it was a G5 2.3Ghz
Dual Processor so I knew it was one of the later models. A $60 sticky note was lying on the ground.
The guy came out and I was asking about it and he said let me call my son he took care of all the
computers, he said it ran fine. It had a power cord, white translucent keyboard and mouse. He said if
you offer Dad $40 I think he'll take it, Well for $40 we couldn't pass it up. Fired it up later Sat. works
great, sounds like a hair dryer with both of those fans running but not a real slouch either, it's quick
snappy. It's clean as a whistle inside and it looks like they pulled the original HD and replaced with a
120Gb and has 4.5Gb of RAM. It only has a few very minor scratches on one side. Should we leave it
at 10.4 or try push it up to 10.5? No Airport Card included.

Now what to do with it, boat anchor, winter time heater or try and use it ;-)
