I'd like to be the first to complain that having the new smilies buried behind the "View more smilies" link makes it far too much work to use the new smilies! Click to expand...…

I contacted yourmacstore and they were able to dig up a last kit for me, doesn't sound like they have more. Contacting Spirica might be the only way now.

Nice Mac history. I look forward to your IIfx story in Mac II, Quadra & Centris later. Glad to meet you.

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…

Holy heck dude :O I feel for ya buddy - I tend to have the opposite reaction - the crazier life gets, the more I show up here for my daily dose of (relative) sanity. Glad to h…

Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about that - the keyboard. Thats another thing I love about the 1400...it has one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever typed on, out of the hund…

They are amazingly durable, and you've got to love the keyboard. I am using mine less now that I have the Pismos, but I still love to type on them. I always admired the Duos, neve…

My 1400 love also comes from nostalgia. It was my first laptop, a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law who said if I could fix it, I could have it. A new LCD and inverter later, it …

I've been dealing with a lot lately. A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making proba…

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…

Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board? I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…

My 540C actually had its little "PowerBook 540C" badge replaced with "PowerPC" so I'm thinking it used to have an official Apple PPC upgrade. Unfortunately, it's just 68k still

G'day - nice to have you here. Impressive Mac history too!

Use it to play Civilization! http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/civilizationiii.html Or use it for chatting, surfing non-flash sites, iTunes, DVD watching, …

Perhaps this is the reason the II FDHD requires 6.0.2, due to the different pin configuration from the SIMM to the chip? Click to expand... Nope, did you know that the original…

Funny how divers people are thinking about Apples development through the years. My first Mac was a Colour Classic with external Power CD (2499 and 699 dutch guilders new @ Correct…

All I can say is Jobs is better at getting people to believe his bullshit then most CEOs.

Gentlemen, all I can say is Jobs was growing with the company and learning from his mistakes. I seriously doubt he would have killed something that was bringing in money for the co…

I agree with Unknown_K. Apple needed some time without Jobs controlling everything, and Jobs needed time outside Apple to rethink things. And while I cannot help but thank Jobs f…

The Mac exploded with the introduction of expandable machines (you know upgrade slots those things Jobs hated), not the closed dead end compacts. Jobs was big into killing off the …

If Jobs never left Apple would have gone down the drain. Click to expand... Unknown_K, I disagree. Sculley didn't trust Jobs, but the very things that have made him and Apple …

If Jobs never left Apple would have gone down the drain.

if Steve Jobs had not left Apple in 1985 there likely would never have been a Macintosh SE as we know it, and certainly not an SE/30. Click to expand... What do you think we'd …
