I got a second generation one about a year ago, free from someone I know who was going to pitch it. It's basically identical to the first models, just a slightly faster CPU. I used it two or three times to access an old multimedia CD-ROM I still have before it locked up, the hard drive dead. I doubt I'll ever get it fixed, and unless I find someone to take it I'll end up bringing it to Apple since they have a free recycling program. I kind of dread doing that because the thing is heavy. Really heavy. It weighs more than the combined weight of all the other Apple devices I have around:

MacBook Air (2013)

Mac mini (2012)

iPhone 4

iPod touch

iPhone XS

iPhone 5S

iPad mini (v1)

iPad mini (v2)

Newton

Powerbook G3 (Pismo)

It's easy to forget how heavy CRTs were.

If you want it gone, put some contact info in your post or your HN profile. I don't want it, but I'm sure someone reading this might.
