Hey, all, especially those in Seattle with old Apple gear:
Seattle Repertory Theatre is producing "The Agony And Ecstacy Of Steve
Jobs", a show by Mike Daisey about Apple's and Jobs' various trials and
tribulations over the years. They're hoping to put together a lobby
display of several of Apple's old hardware. To that end, they're looking
for gear to borrow between mid-April and late May; and to show their
appreciation they're offering free tickets for the production and "your
picture hanging proudly next to your relic" (assuming you're interested
in that, o'course).
Their wish list includes:
-an Apple II, IIe and/or IIc;
-an Apple III;
-a Lisa;
-a Mac Classic, Mac SE/30, or similar;
-Macintosh Portable (1989 vintage);
-an early PowerBook, preferably 100 series;
-a Quadra;
-Newton MessagePad;
-QuickTake, an early Apple digital camera;
-20th Anniversary iMac, circa 1997;
-iMac G3;
-an early Apple flat panel display, circa 1998-2001-ish;
-Power Mac G4 cube;
-G4 Powerbook; and
-a NeXT workstation (though I think a NeXTcube would work too).
Though they didn't list it, I have to think that an Apple I would also be
extremely welcome. In fact, I think the only reason they didn't put it on
their list is because actually _finding_ one seems so unlikely. :)
...Anyway, if you're in or near Seattle and have some of this gear and
want to support the arts and/or get your gear displayed publicly and/or
want free theatre tickets, or if you have further questions, feel free to
e-mail the Rep at <info at seattlerep.org>.
Feel free to forward or repost.
