Will wait for however long this takes, but I won this original Kid with the Golden Arms poster in a trivia contest last week. And the folks who own and are releasing Shaw Brothers content now meekly asked if it was okay that Golden Arms (Lo Meng) himself autographed it. Um, YES, it is okay. :p:):):) I found that so adorable and insanely sweet, especially since I am not at the Lo Meng meet & greet right now. View attachment 640410

Given your prolific posting about Shaw Brothers movies in the movie thread, I always assumed you worked in their PR department :p
Enjoy your signed poster. I'm sure you have a collection.

Aw, thank you. What tickled me is they purposely held off sending the poster as Lo Meng is in Los Angeles from the 13th to an undisclosed date. As I knew Lo was coming, I presumed a potential autograph, thanks to the poster chosen. I was right. :D Poster collection is growing: now I need some proper frames to start decorating. An even more wonderful bonus came as a result of this, but more on that when it is official.

Today's newest acquisition. 2010 13" MacBook Pro. Client wrote it off as "dead" after the age old Snow Leopard install crapped the bed. Pulled some files off it for him and I get it as payment. "Free." :D:D

Would you consider selling that machine? I need a solid Snow Leopard machine for a daily which requires PPC software, but also newer programs.

Not technically free but traded a Mac Mini Core Duo I got for free for it. Not a bad little trade. 2015 Thinkpad E550 with a Core I5 5200U. Not the fastest or most spec'd up Thinkpad but it works for what it was built for.

Yes, I would. The hinge is a bit loose - easier to move than it should be and the screen moves easily if bumped... Send me a PM, it's collecting dust right now.

Hasn't picked them up yet, but just got two eMacs, an iMac G4 and a PowerMac G3 and 6 24" Aluminum iMacs from a school. I love my job, I get in the good graces of School districts IT departments. I'm the official Mac recycler for them now.

Blue and white G3. The eMacs and the iMac are all 1.25Ghz. Pretty happy. Forgot to mention the iMac G4 is a 17". All the iMacs are Core 2 Duos what the specs are I do not know. They don't boot from what the IT tells me but why do I have a feeling it's just RAM?

Awesome on the iMac and eMac! G3 B&Ws are nice. Also, id agree that it's either RAM or a broken install

Are the white 24" iMacs or the aluminum ones? I use an aluminum one in my classroom, and that machine is a beast :D

I get stuff free often for review on Amazon, latest thing is a tempered glass screen protector for my iPhone 7. If anyone wants to know the website PM me. I've had several things recently, not expensive stuff though, mainly phone cases and laptop cases lol.
