[Cialug] Free to a good home: Old iMacs

[Jeff Chapin]

I'm currently in the process of making some Magic Mirrors out of similar
iMacs -- If I was not in CF, I would be interested in picking them up, but
a 4 hour round trip is a bit much for me.

If anyone is interested in comparing build notes for a Magic Mirror, or an
electronic picture frame, hit me up, though.
