I have an ancient Dual G5 Mac with (22"?) Cinema Display, keyboard and
mouse looking for a home.  It has 1.5 GB of memory and two disks.  I
think one is about 600GB, the other about 300GB.  I don't remember
which version of Mac OS X it runs, but it's the most recent one that
was supported for this machine.

It is fully functional and would make a good computer for someone who
specifically wanted to play with the PowerPC instruction set.  Or
perhaps a collector would want it.  It's "fast enough" to be used as a
web browser and if all my kids didn't have a more recent Mac mini, I'd
give it to one of them.

Anyway, I'm perfectly fine with sending it to the dump, but if anyone
wants it, let me know.  You can pick it up at my house in the
Northeast Heights or I can bring it to Cocoa Conspiracy (held @
Winning Coffee on Central) the next time I go (which will probably be
this coming Thursday).

It seems unlikely that more than one person will want this machine,
but if I do get more than one taker, I'll take into consideration the
reason the person is asking for it.  So, for example, someone who
wants to play with a non-Intel architecture and use the whole machine
will get precedence over someone who just wants the mouse and
keyboard.
