Or in a dry/cool basement.

aye I bought a thrift store pc for a buck for its 5.25 so I can backup some of my old dos games

I remember someone told me that modern comb filters on the last generation or two of tube TV's was to blame for the useless image that is generated by older computer systems that o…

Nice score, I got a ][gs back in june but haven't been able to use it (TVs make terrible composite monitors). The one time I did use it, the power supply was making noises. Clic…

Gah! That laptop is super ugly. However the Skylab sounds like it truly was the Holy Grail. "As far as Mac Prototypes go, one of the most glorious I ever saw was the Radiu…

I can't believe the guy actually sold it for that much.

Yeah? That company seems to have an index.html site and an index.php site (the one I listed), it's a little confusing. If you ever try buying some disks from them, let me know how …

They really are quite rare. But this auction was asking too much. 500$-1k$ would be too much for me, but for a complete setup a more reasonable price to ask. Consider that once the…

I think Leopard on a B&W G4 is a bit adventurous for my blood. It seems to be running stable at 400mhz (using the jumper block from the original Rev. 1 board) on a clean i…

I've had a similar problem with my color classic: I removed the logic board and blew out the dust with canned air and when I put everything back together the color classic wouldn't…

Well, I finally got tired of the dead B&W sitting on the floor, so I started checking ebay for a replacement motherboard. I ended up scoring a Rev. 2 B&W motherboar…

Congrats on the LCIII restore. It looks great and even better when mated with that nice lcd and desk. Makes me miss my old 475.

Things are settling down a bit to be sure. What has been a major stressor though is the medical bills for the cancer treatment. Insureance is wonderful and without it i'd surely b…

If you must have PPC and more then 3 Nubus slots a 950 with a Daystar upgrade is the easier to get (then you get 4 free Nubus slots). I did this for my AVID systems. A 9150 would b…

I made it up into the attic a few weeks ago, and there are, indeed, three 91xxs in there. One of them seems to have some broken bits to the casing as the side panel doesn't want …
