Is the cooling plate touching the top of the cpu?, I would open it up and see what there is to see (unless you have issues doing that).

Most LC475/Quadra 605 machines use a pre-Intel CPU, which will make any video encoding painfully slow; at the very least get a machine with an Intel CPU, if you want to encode vide…

For the skeptics and hold-outs... CAN RETROBRIGHT REALLY MAKE PLASTICS BRITTLE? Let's think about it logically. How can cleaning the surface (0.1mm worth?) of a piece of plastic…

I like the T-shirt it is the one from the Apple T-shirts book "Why do people love Macintosh?" "Just ask!" 

Mac128, I went with the 3% Oxydol over-the-counter stuff with "basic stabilizers." I determined that those stabilizers were pretty much the same as what are found in the US grade …

Great job - and great photo gallery, very detailed and instructive for others to follow easily. Thanks!

The folks behind "RetroBright" are all good people, but they use concentrations of H202 that are just beyond reason. ... you only need cheap, drug store 3% peroxide to do the job, …

JDW, I saw your pics in my 68kmla flickr pool's RSS feed last night, and they're incredible! This is really a great job, with stunning results. Thanks a lot for sharing. Your pictu…

depends on what you're going to want to do with it. If you want one with relatively current-day functionality, you gotta find something that does at least 8.1. Honestly, 9.1 is r…
