Just a quick query as to whether anyone in the Ipswich area would be willing to pick-up an Apple G3 unit for me? I've asked the seller whether he'd consider delivering the unit, but he clearly doesn't want the hassle.

I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

it appears that i am the closest :D
Im not heading over that way sadly, but if the seller will hold on it. i can maybe arrange someting, but cant promise how soon?
Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Hi Fester, he has 58 of them on eBay at present so I don't think speed is necessary, however if you are not intending to travel that far then don't worry. I may be able to find something more local, or at least someone willing to plonk it into the post to me.Originally Posted by Festerfly
I have to admit, I think the seller is a bit optimistic thinking that 58 Ipswich residents need defunkt Apple equipment.
I've not placed a bid on anything yet, so not tied to the auction. ;-)
thats cool, keep me posted. good price on those though!!! i didnt actually look at the auction when i first posted!
I Will let you know if i am heading over that direction too..

If you think about it Fester, it's actually a pretty good idea for you to pick one up for your MIDI implimentation ;-)
Just go for one with 512Mb - I would be doing the same.
hmm true. but that size isnt exactly portable! lol

I was thinking of more at home applications if you go for an Apple iBook. You could simply use the bigger unit for all the processing power and the iBook for the sequencing on the hoof. ;-)
hmm good point.. but coming froma purely PC based background and for all future networking and compatability needs, i was thinking of sticking with a PC...

Fair enough, but you will find the best, most easily obtained (and more crucially) cheap applications for your usage are mostly mac based. It's only relatively recently that PC's have taken over from MIDI/AUDIO applications and I have to admit, they tend to give fewer errors - hence my interest in that hunk of blue & white junk lol

Keep in mind that a G3 isn't going to run audio apps well. I'm taking an audio recording course that uses Logic Pro 7, and we're using G5 iMacs, which is pretty much the bare minimum. With the right graphics card, some RAM and maybe a CPU upgrade, the G3 isn't a bad system.
October 8th 2010: Just logged in here for the first time in several years, and wow was I an immature little ass :P apologies if any previous posts (such as this one?) do not reflect well on the person I am, was or possibly will be.
I think that Fester is considering it mostly for MIDI usage. I've previously used it for MIDI & Audio, but not using Logic Pro #. I've been using Cubase and it works a treat for what I do. I also suggested a sampler, but it really does depend on what you have in mind. Fester is going to be using it primarily for MIDI however and at £10 you can't go wrong with a Mac.
