Vintage Macs for Sale?

Hi.

I just joined this forum and I'm posing my first message. Does anyone know of any stores in the Toronto area that may sell vintage Macs? I'm looking for a MAC SE or SE/30 in excellent working order. I used to have a SE over 20 years ago and I'd love to get my hands on one. I have some old games that I'd like to play. I'm dating myself but the last time I went looking for old macs was back in the 90's and the store was called CPUSED but they're long gone.

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Where is this Calgary family?

A very strange story out of Calgary....



'Stay strong,' urge family of missing Nathan O'Brien, 5, and his grandparents





Kathy and Alvin Liknes haven't been seen since Sunday night when they had their grandson Nathan O'Brien stay over at their Calgary home.



An Amber Alert is still in effect for Nathan O'Brien, 5, after he and his grandparents — Kathryn Liknes, 53, and Alvin Liknes, 66 — were discovered missing Monday morning.



Nathan's mother went to pick up her son at the Liknes's home in the southwest neighbourhood of Parkhill at 10 a.m. MT Monday.



But all three were gone, and there were signs that they had not left willingly, according to police.



Nathan has blond curly hair, brown eyes and was wearing peach-coloured shorts and a striped blue hoodie when he was last seen.



His grandmother has red-brown hair and green eyes and was last seen wearing pyjamas. Alvin Liknes has grey-blond hair and was last seen wearing black sports shorts. He walks with a slight limp.



They are not considered suspects in the boy’s abduction, police say.



Calgary police are asking anyone who attended an estate sale that the grandparents held at their home on the weekend to come forward.

The couple had recently bought a house in Edmonton and were selling some of their things before they made the move, said Andrus. From Edmonton, the couple had been planning on heading to Mexico.

the forensic crime scenes unit did examine some marks on the side of the house and we're in the process of determining their relevance to the investigation," he said.



"There were marks on the side of the house that went for a distance along the side."

No speaker sound on iPhone 4s

I've had my iPhone for 2 years of a 3 yr contract. Love it!

Except now I have no speaker sound - no alarm sound, no ringtones, no Siri voice or Youtube sound, etc. I can hear a phone call voice when I place it to my ear. Just don't hear the ringing.

So, I googled the problem. Found a ton of solutions. Seems as if I'm not the only one...

No sound coming from my iPhone » iPhone No Sound

Tried most of the software solutions without result. Several suggested changing the 1) dock connector as a cheap fix. I don't want to open the iPhone to brave that.



So, I took my iPhone to our one local Apple reseller in our small city. Told me the speaker is kaput! They can't do hardware repairs and would have to send it out of town. I'm doubtful about the quality of the diagnosis. Would a sales store have the skills to check a defective speaker vs a defective dock connector?



My options are:

2) Buy a refurbished iPhone for $200 Cdn.

3) Buy out my contract for $150 and upgrade to 5c for $100 plus a 2 year contract.

I didn't buy any insurance previously.



Which option would you choose?

iPhone 4s speaker sound not working

I've had my iPhone4s for 2 years of a 3 yr contract. Love it!

Except now I have no speaker sound - no alarm sound, nor ringtones. No Siri voice or Youtube sound, etc. I can hear a phone call voice against my ear. Just don't hear the ringing.

3) Buy out my contract for $150 and upgrade to 5c for $100 plus a 2 year contract.

Of course, they erased all my files which I'm restoring from iTunes as we speak. Gawd, it's taking hours!!! I'm hoping my NOTES, contacts, photos, emails, etc will come back.



What's your suggestion for my 3 choices for repair?
