Loc: Australia
I tried to resurrect a BondiMac from the local radio station which didn't work. I tried putting Ubuntu on it but all to no avail. I can't seem to find any copies of OS9 on eBay so now I'm thinking of getting rid of it. I've thought of 3 things to do with it.

1. Take it to the dump (the obvious option)
2. Sell it on eBay (I don't know who'd buy it though)
3. Domayne (the local department store which sells Macs) has an offer which they give up to $500 refund when you upgrade. I would bring both the Bondi and an old P3 450 that was lying around and get myself a new Intel Mac mini.

If there is a better option, tell me about it (if it's worldwide) and I would be happy.
