WTB: Mac

Post by Brian Boyko »

Anyone got an older mac they'd be willing to sell for cheap? I just need it for Garageband for music composition.

Brian, it can't be too old or it won't run GarageBand. That app is a cycle hog.

TRU3 TH4T!!! I have an old g4 450 with 768MB of ram and it GarageBand runs PAINFULLY slow when it's the only thing open and there's only a few tracks. I'd sell you the cube, but codewarrior won't run on my intel Mac and so I need it to develop with.

BUT!!!! The Goodwill Computer store down where 183 crosses with I-35 always has G4 towers for pretty cheap. Check it out.

Discount electronics, that place on Anderson, usually has a few Macs for what seemed ultra-cheap - G4s I think. I can't speak for the quality, though.
