your problem is weird. I wonder how heat would make it brighter. Maybe it's fixable.

It is rather annoying when the CD/disk is missing, isn't it? In my book conquest recently, the Power Mac book should have had a CD, and the Customizing the Mac for Fun/Productivity…

I'm actually on the look-out for another bookshelf. Roughly half of my books/manuals are in boxes, which isn't the worst thing since I don't read them all everyday, but when I do, …

I went to a book sale where it was $3 for a filled bag. There were a lot of computer books, not just many vintage Mac ones. I did manage to find Macworld Illustrator 5.0/5.5 Bible…

I have a growing collection of olden Mac books too, including repair/reference/technical books and history books, as well as both John Sculley and Gil Amelio's autobiographies.

Mine has got a weird problem where the longer it is on, the brighter it gets. Within the first 20 minutes, one can compensate by turning down the brightness and contrast, but after…

Indeed. Partly, my collection is for posterity (if there will be a posterior). If they have the machines but don't know how to use them, then that's a shame. Not everything is docu…

Enjoy. Click to expand... Oh I am! It runs pretty much anything I run at it! Oh, and It is waaaaaaaay way faster than my 933Mhz G4. I know people say it lags a bit. Well wha…

G5's are awesome UNIX workstations. Enjoy.

History? eBay! I had thought power myself. It clearly starts up ok -mostly- so from that I figured that a joint expanding and then failing as it got hotter. As said the ram had be…

Always nice to have some reference books when you get into the vintage Macs. Lots of information when these machines were the best there was. Good find!!

What is the history of the Plus? It could be numerous things ...

Cool! The only Mac book I have is Macs for Dummies, either the second or third edition. The Mac book I want is a MacBook! }

tada! Ok. When you install ram in a G5, it is NOT like the old power macs. The olds ones were like this 1|2|3|4|5 1|2|3|4|5. The new PowerMac G5s go likes this 4|3|…

On a cold boot with 4Mb a MacPlus does take a fair amount of time to go through its memory. That is normal. It does sound like a power-supply issue.

Ok then - Mac Plus, it boots, or rather it can boot all the way to the desktop and it can sit there for a while - usually less than ten mins - then it re-boots. it generally gets t…

Alright, piccies: For some reason 3 of 5 of them came out super grainy. And that's 2 megapixels on my phone. My Quicktake 150 takes better pics. Should have used that instead. Oh…

I think we should keep the conquests to just 68K and early PPC macs and related gear. Do you realy want me to post all the offtopic stuff I grab (I could flood this forum easy)? …

Hey, it wasn't my decision. :-/ I was just trying to say that THE RULES might judge this as not following the conquest rules. I'm not the 68kmla deputy. I don't want you to tak…

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10204 As per this announcement, and the Apple KB article, you're fine. But honestly? This is the type of attitude that caused people to put their libe…

Oh!!!! Ownage! Coius, is this your fastest Mac ever? I think we should set a limit for things in the conquest section... YAY My eMac 700 was mentioned! Yeah PowerPC and old…

/airhorn/ Yes! squeaked by on that last round! I am just on the verge of vintage on MacTracker, and apple has abandoned the G5. In your face! Seriously, as much as you say this…
