Re: Original Apple monitors available (free!)

You probably are not going to get many takers.  I have a couple of those old 
beasts, myself, here in Santa Fe that I keep around because I like old Macs and 
try to get them to do things they were never meant to do...  like running 
NetBSD.

You are right, they aren't worth shipping across the country.  Recycle them 
properly.  Don't just throw them in the dumpster.  They have a lot of lead in 
them which will eventually get into your drinking water.

Cheers, Tom
