    Buyee Japan and eBay US (export) Warning

    It's really disappointing of what is happening now - but I am just grateful what I have obtained from Japan in the past until this year to be honest - now the only way to get it out from Japan is via eBay which is also scam (money grub!) as well. Cheers AP

    What the SIT?!

    What I have been doing for a while now - I get what's been happening above - but this App called "FileType.app" is a game changer - if you know the resource codes for it and its so easy - drag and drop then convert. ie. *.sit files which would be stuffit - Create: SIT! and type; SIT5 etc It...

I would like to see if there is alternative site that is same as Buyee that would have good stuff on it. Cheers AP

    Mac Mini Base OS Install ?

    Thats Mac Mini 3.1 I believe Because AppleID in El Cap is too old/won't be accepted because Apple is trying to force you to upgrade. Just skip it and you can add AppleID once you have signed in Finder. Cheers

    Problems with buying from Japan using Buyee

    I did have an issue last year with Buyee - it was Sonnet PowerPC G3 500mhz CPU and it ended up in warehouse and I was stuck there. Same reason "semiconductors substrates" too. I was able to resolve by forwarding to a friend in Japan's address and he was able to forward to me without any issues...

    Powerbook G3 Lombard stiff hinge fix

    Ive done the same with you - on PowerBook G3 wallstreet & PDQ, iBook Clamshell & iBook plus PowerBook 1400 as well - as soon you feel stiffness its time to oil it otherwise you will end up damaging the hinges to begin with!. Cheers AP
