MacBooks: Help!

[Tim-S]

First off, huge thanks to Ian and Bailey for cleaning some of the macbooks. I've already sold the ones that were cleaned up, and the buyers were very pleased and thought they looked great. Actually, people were so pleased that they are starting to tell friends and coworkers to come buy macs from us.

This means I need help getting the rest of the macbooks fixed and cleaned. Yes, your help. And you. And all of you! Seriously, I'm trying, but they've taken over my living room and I've been so busy meeting people to sell them that I haven't had time to keep refurbishing them.

May we please have help cleaning and repairing the rest of the macbooks? Every penny we make from selling them goes to the space, and it's already been our most effective fundraiser ever.

[Tim-S]

Thank you very much to everyone who pitched in! There are at least a dozen ready to be sold. I really appreciate it, that means I can focus on selling them and continuing our fundraising.

Do we need shipping boxes?

If you have them lying around, that'd be good!

Have the boxes I have been bringing worked OK?

[Tim-S]

yep! Thanks for that, they work great.

I have cleaned a few of the "obvious" macs. Can a few more be sorted and marked to be cleaned?

[Tim-S]

Thank you very much! I'm still selling them, but they are moving more quickly and you're ahead of me. I'll be there Tuesday evening and will sort through what's left.

[Tim-S]

Er, they are moving more slowly. Like my brain, apparently.

[mrsjp...@hotmail.com]

Thanks. I don't want to mess with ones that are to be dismantled.

[Tim-S]

I've tested and triaged all the laptops and sorted them into piles. The "Broken" pile will be dismantled and/or used for parts, so there's no need to clean them. I have ordered batteries for the ones marked "Works, bad battery". They can be cleaned. There's also a pile that works great and just needs cleaning.

I'll get a couple of them cleaned tonight when I'm there for the board meeting.

If you're interested in a macbook, or know someone who is, feel free to shoot an email to me or to info [at] area515 [dot] org. Thanks!

[Ian Walmsley]

Do any more need hard drives?

[Tim-S]

We could use a couple more. Thanks!

[Bailey Steinfadt]

Okay, I think I found a buyer for ALL THE REMAINING MACBOOKS. 

But that means we need to get them fixed, cleaned up, and ready to go ASAP.  Who can help me work on getting them ready to gtfo our workshop tonight?
