May I suggest buying an entry level Mac mini? is what I did and while yeah it's not a blazing computer, but for coding and messing around with it's perfect and will be a hell of alot better then an iMac G4 (going by what everyone else is saying). As for getting into the guts of it, well you can't really tinker with a Mac anyway and unless you get your hands on a Mac Pro not much you can upgrade either. Mac mini is your best bet I think, I love my little late '09 Mac mini and don't regret buying it at all. Worth every cent and is a great way to expose yourself to OSX and Macs in general in my humble opinion.

EDIT: I see you already got the G4 :p oh well, guess I'm a little late to the party :laugh: enjoy your new Mac!

Ebay right? My guess, they calculated the postage wrong, got to the shippers and then decided to send it the slowest way possible to not lose money. It happens, some times. I just bite the bullet and pay up if something heavy or oddly shaped ends up costing more to ship than I planned on, but I've definitely gotten things that were listed as going "First Class" shipped cheapest-option ground.

Granted, they should still have a tracking number, or at least write back.

This.

If I make a mistake, client comes first and I bite the bullet.

Not everyone acts like that, which is sad, but it's bearable if you're not choleric haha :laugh:

I finally got a reply. They said that there tracking manager was on vacation. They also said if I don't get it in the next few days to email them again and they will figure it out!

Dude, they reply and still don't give you the flipping tracking number?

Prepare to contact Buyer Protection... (well, but here's hoping that everything turns out good! Maybe they just forgot to add it to their email or something :p)

I think i will give them the beifit of the dout but i am ready to contact buyer protection just in case. :shifty:

That's what I would do, too.

Note: BP doesn't have to be started when you gave up on the seller. :)

Can do it before.

Date of claim is important.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
