Can I have a couple?
I want one too!!!! Please, pretty please!
I fail to see the historical value of this myself…….
Yeah – I’ll take 2 or 10 of them…
Is this supposed to be “retro”? (Writing from a G5).
Where are you? Can I fill up my minivan to give you more space for other “obsolete” tech?
Do you donate to student labs? We are desperately looking forward getting desktops for the student labs. In the middle of our economic crisis (you see, this is the U. Athens, Greece I am talking about), replacing OLD stuff is not a straightforward case. If interested, please reply.
Thanks anyway for your attention to this comment
Yeah…Could the school I work at just use those? Because they’re WAY newer than our current crop of crapcompies.
Give them to a school!
Yeah, give them to a school. This capsule is silly – not historical at all, and unless the G5s are all broken it’s insane that it hasn’t crossed the mind of the person who owns them to donate them.
The insanity is of historical levels, then.
Coming from a former owner of a G5: I see the historical significance. These machines could have run for another 100 years. But apple made them obsolete by not allowing certain software upgrades. So, while crazy powerful, they became useless well before their time. Lost to time…or some other grandiose cliche.
Could I have one….just one…please…I’ll be your freind !
Any news on the school donation request?
Please do not make me send pics of what PCs we are using…
This is a a threat!
Are these all stripped or are they functioning? If they’re functioning, I’ll take a Quad-core and gladly pay for shipping. In fact, I’ll take two or even three. Don’t be goddamn selfish, people.
I’d happily take one off your hands
Can there be info on this,
Working only with g5 due to software issue and can not go to intel.
being an artist there is not much I can invest,is there any way possible to forward me a working g5 / or parts so as I can make one complete one my-self???????
thank you ,
I would take one immediately…and love it until my last breath. So if you want to get rid of them…?
