The idiot being me, of course I have a 2100 sitting around, and the battery is just about toast. I'd like to get my hands on the AA battery tray, but Newton bits & pie…

Minor note, the machine gets very hot. Click to expand... Absolutely. I can use my 700mhz model as a space heater in a small room if I leave it on all night. Jobs always h…

Pluses have a beige case, though. How can they yellow? I thought the platinum colored Macs were the ones with yellowing issues. Click to expand... They just turn "more" yellow.…

I have Never seen the silvery coating in any 128,512, Ke, or Plus... Click to expand... Neither have I. My eyes have only see the matte gray coating that feels slightly rough …

I think most of them have the coating, even as far back as the 128k. My 128k has it, I just assumed they all did. Here's a photo of the guts of a 128k, with the coating:http://kcom…

I started scraping away the coating using a putty knife. Seems to work pretty well, although I will have to finish it up with sandpaper. Will post results when I finish.

Oh well that actually makes sense

hmm? is there a reason for that? Click to expand... there are no fans, so don't put anything (like paper) on top of it, and don't leave it in a confined place

Skip the Bondi then. You can run 10.4 (more than likely) on the Indigo and it'll outperfom the Bondi left and right. Faster CPU, faster system bus, and better graphics. Its also…

Are you planning on actually using it for anything? Click to expand... yes I am going to use it for things, hopefully I'm going to use it to play some network games, word proce…

Really? Rev C and D were Blueberry?! I don't remember that. Click to expand... Yep, see for yourself. In comparison to the Bondi Rev. A.

Really? Rev C and D were Blueberry?! I don't remember that.

Uh, Bondis were only available as either Rev. A or B.. There was no Bondi Rev. C or D, only Blueberry. Basically, it went like this: Rev. A and B only got Bondi. As Henry Ford wou…

Yeah, there were indigo and Bondi, and Blueberry. The blueberries were even down to 350mhz without firewire ports, The Bondi's went up to 333mhz (Rev D). I have a Rev A. iMac Bondi…

Oh, and back on topic: If you are going to have to rewrite your theme anyway, why waste your time with phpBB? You would be better off just making your current forum an archive and…

Are you planning on actually using it for anything? If so, then go for the Indigo simply because its RAM is cheaper and easier to find, faster and a little nicer looking IMO. It'…

...AND I spoke too soon. I went to open up a help menu to reconfigure my Favorite keys and I'm getting bomb errors.. AGAIN. After initializing the disk and doing a clean installati…

I'd like to thank everyone for their help, I finally got around to messing with the iBook again. I did what you said Phreakout, but Stuffit still wouldn't open. First Disk Aid sai…

my teacher has two of the older iMacs. one is a Blondi blue and the other is an indigo, i might be able to find some space in my room to keep it, now I need to convince my parents …

I'll try that tonight and see if it helps any. Maybe it will stop chirring and fire up.

Anyway, my question is--have I destroyed my Plus by chipping the metallic coating? What are the consequences of running the machine with compromised shield/paint stuff? Has anyon…
