    In need of some parts

    Hello, I have a Eureka 2 speed self propelled ESP 5071D. I'm certainly in ned of an upper cord hook with bag spins holder, and also a whole new transmission. Tranny squals when motor is turned on. If I can't find parts, I'll part the machine out. Really want to make it work. Thanks, -Jay

    Eureka/Sanitaire As nice as they clean, I can't stand them. Bulky, loud, cheap plastic parts, The self propelled models have transmissions that wear out, and scream like a banshee overtime you turn them on.

    Figuring out pre 1970's Kirby serial numbers.

    Hello all, long time no see. I'd like to know how do you figure out a Kirby serial number on a pre 1970's Kirby? I know there was a way to figure out a 1970's and later, but really no way of figuring out anything older. All help would be appreciated. -Jay

    My first stereo

    I've never came across a childhood Item... But I would like to get ahold of either a PowerMacintosh 6100, 7100, or 8100. Not only because they're a classic piece of Mac, but because they all came out March 1994 which is my birth year. -Jay

I feel that...

    Anyone used an SSD?

    SSD and failures Thanks Joe, I do realize that the SSD is a new kind of technology, and I do realize that I would lose everything on it should a failure occur. However I wouldn't be storing a whole lot on it except the main OS and some programs which can be downloaded such as Skype. In terms of...

    Anyone used an SSD?

    I'm sold On SSD's, I think one would really make an old Core Solo, or Core Duo Mac Mini, even an early 2006 MacBook scream! I've read and read about SSD's and I've even seen the big performance gain that a normal HDD just can't touch. I do believe SSD's are going to put the old HDD out to...

    The best Mac OS you've used

    New OS I don't care for any of the new OS's, Because I feel that they are leading towards iOS. For me the last version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. That is why I refuse to buy a new Mac with any of the new OS's on them. -Jay

    New computers for my parents

    More RAM Would more RAM in one of these white Intel iMacs give a modest speed increase? I know that the ones at my school are running SL(Snow Leopard) on 2 512MB which equates to 1GB of RAM, and they seem quite sluggish at times. So I'm wondering if I bought my parents one of the faster white...
