My wife comes home from work the other day, (shes a teacher) and says" I have a junk Mac they where throwing away at work. I tossed it in the back seat."

So I go get retrieve the poor thing from an undignified position now on the floor. I bring it into the house.

I look it over and its the cleanest, best looking Quicksilver I have ever seen. It not scratched or smudged  anywhere!

So I open it up and its just as clean inside. I hook it up and get a good chime, then the folder icon.

I grab the hard drive out of my Blue&White and plug it in. Boots to 10.4 no problem!

Its an 867 mhz with one 512 stick of ram! AND THEY WHERE TOSSING IT IN THE TRASH!

Made my day. ;D

Lucky SOB lol. Last time I found a quick silver in the trash the owner took a hammer to all of the parts.

Great story !

I just got a QS 800MHz G4 in the same brand new condition last week. I cannibalized my B&W for some parts and it's up and running. I didn't find mine in the trash though, I traded a Lombard for it.

I found a working SE/30 with 7.5 installed in a neighbor's trash...i'd rather find a quicksilver tho, i don't feel right taking apart a working-condition antique :-

I found a dual 1ghz Quicksilver on trash day myself. Sweet! Playing Island Mini Golf on it as we speak!

i never find any macs in the trash but i have a buttload of p4 pc's i find at least one a week

This kid I know canabalized a Original G3 Clamshell took the keyboard,airport card,ram and ac Adapter He was gonna trow it away but I asked to have it and he gave it to me so im gonna restore it. TEE HEE YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAY

Great score man!  What are your plans for it?

I got a 733MHz QS from the dumpster, it had dead firewire, but a PRAM Reset took care of it!

I have yet to be so fortunate.  I turned down a couple B&W's that were near the curb.  It was a heroin dealers house, so I couldn't really figure what kind of trouble I could have ended up in.

In other news, that guy is moving.  Hurray!
