I still have no way to bridge the output from MacTerminal to the Internet and vice/versa. Which was the whole point. Click to expand... I thought you had a Mac OS X box in betw…

For me, it's about expanding the functionality of a 128K (and bragging rights)......it's a fun idea that's beyond my skill set. Click to expand... To do any expanding of the fu…

Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac. Click to expand... And this is where my eyes glaze over. There is no shortage of vintage Terminal and e-mai…

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…
