Mac Forum / General / General / October 2008WTB iMovie '06
WTB = Want to Borrow In a regrettable move, I tossed my iLife '06 DVD some time after upgrading to '08. Of course, my G4 Windtunnel is too old to support the new version of iMovie, but that didn't matter: I didn't have a movie camera. (Notice past tense.) Also, I have misplaced/lost/tossed the CD that came with my new JVC MiniDV camcorder and would like to see if I can flog this old computer a little longer, now with video. Whether my request is unethical, I don't know. I do NOT think it is illegal. I *DO* know that I have purchased every version of iLife since the package was first released. I'd be happy to use the borrowed disk to install iMovie '06 ONLY and return it in pristine condition. All expense would be paid by me, of course. If you are interested in helping me out, please email. TIA!  Signature:) JR > In a regrettable move, I tossed my iLife '06 DVD some time after > upgrading to '08.

I am curious, how many here toss old CDs when they get "outdated?" I'm the type that has almost every CD/DVD I ever purchased. The only ones I got rid of were ones my son damaged physically beyond recovery, a couple I sold, and an absolute $#!+load of AOL frisbees. BTW: If anyone here is they type to just toss out old CDs, send me an e-mail of what it is, and if I could "freecycle" it on my computers, I will paypal you the cost of postage. I still have every mac I ever bought except two given to friends or family as starter computers (I am also a collector of "antique" computers). So if the app doesn't work on my current machine, I still have older models that can make use of it. But back to the real question, I'm just curious the philosophy of people here. Do you just toss old CDs, or do you sell them, give them to friends, donate them, or keep them regardless. jt > I am curious, how many here toss old CDs when they get "outdated?"

I still have my Starcraft CD, even though I don't have it installed since it only runs under Rosetta, and Descent 3, which doesn't run at all. SignatureDylan Winslow "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others." -- Marx > I am curious, how many here toss old CDs when they get "outdated?" I do eventually, but they really have to be pretty old. CDROM as a media type is barely old enough to qualify, :-) although I have tossed some of my older ones. I haven't been doing Macs long enough for any of my Mac stuff to count; I still have every Mac I've bought (well, my daughter's G4 powerbook is not really in useable shape, but I still have it, albeit half disassembled). Now I've tossed *LOTS* of floppies - probably a few thousand. They were getting to be a substantial storage nuisance for things that I really, really was never going to use again. I copied them all to CD, except for the copy protected ones and the old Apple 2 ones, for which I didn't have a convenient path to CD. A few thousand floppies didn't take very many CDs. Many of the Apple 2 ones I've subsequently found images of, which run nicely with Virtual II (and Apple 2 emulator that runs on Macs). It is actually more convenient to run that stuff in the emulator than to drag out my old Apple 2 hardware and run on it; less wear and tear on the floppy drives and media too. I haven't done that with any regularity, but I did go back and replay Bard's Tale a few months ago. It didn't seem as enticing as I recalled from the first time around.

I keep everything, and make disk images of them to boot.

JR > how many here toss old CDs when they get "outdated?" I do. However, as I recently discovered, doing so can backfire on me. I was an inveterate "keeper" (hoarder?). I kept everything: Old disks, computers, packing boxes, you name it. Then, as I got older, I took on a "less is more" attitude toward such retention and began to discard stuff that I hadn't used in years and deemed unlikely that I would ever use it again. With the exception of my recent [Why, oh why did I throw away my iLife '06 CD?] episode, I haven't been inconvenienced by the discarding practice. Generally, I have learned that, with addictive (not meticulous) retention, in those extremely rare events that I wish to use a long since retired item, I can't find it! For you "keepers", here is an image that may provide a vicarious thrill if not invoke abject horror: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2911768395_55d3cbd536_b.jpg Can you name any of the items pictured? This was such a momentous occasion for me that I photographed the event, proving yet again that I really need to get a life.

Custom configurations of this model were also available." I recall them at MacWorld some 10+ years ago, but never had a clone. Signaturejohn mcwilliams > >> I see some PC boxes. > > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > I recall them at MacWorld some 10+ years ago, but never had a clone. I bought a uMax c900 (pizzabox rather than a tower). I had it for 7 years which is on-par with the other 2 Macintoshes I've owned. At some point, the cruftiness of the add-ons got to be to much to maintain. All the companies had left the Mac market years ago and I finally just bought a used Macintosh from eBay. No more add-ons and clones for me. YMMV. SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee...

Well the old PCs I can understand. They're too old to take an upgrade motherboard and too new and bog-standard to be of any interest as a vintage PC for decades. But that looks like a pair of ImageWriter II printers at the bottom. I bet they still worked too. You just know that one day when you want to print on a multi-part form you're going to be kicking yourself for throwing them out.

The one I bought new and to which I later added an AppleTalk card worked perfectly when it was last used. The other, IIRC, was flaky and a <ahem> gift from someone that probably didn't have the nerve to do what I eventually did with it. > You just know that one day when you want to print on a > multi-part form you're going to be kicking yourself for > throwing them out. When I USED the ImageWriter II, I never (not once) used, or had need for, a multi-part form. I did, however, use the living daylights out of it for banners. I wonder if they would work in Mac OS X 10.5.5? I suspect not. Signature:) JR >> that looks like a pair of ImageWriter II >> printers at the bottom.

You need to add a serial port of course, and some extra drivers, but after that it should work. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/imagewriter SignatureRoger Johnstone, Invercargill, New Zealand -> http://roger.geek.nz |
