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!"

I am still worried about whether this method will make the plastics brittle, or has some other long-term consequence which no one knows about yet. When it's been 2-3 years with no …

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 …

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, …

Folks, I did all the work this past Spring, but it took me until now to upload the photos to my Flickr account. Simply put, I used both liquid and gel versions of RetroBright on m…

Yeah, I ran ubuntu desktop as well as debian etch or lenny (or both?) on my A21m and it was perfect, nothing needed any special setup.

If you're comfortable opening the iPod, check the Firewire connector to see if it has broken solder joints. I seem to recall that was an issue with those older models.

The 701c butterfly is the one most colletors want in the 7xx series, and the ones that you see are mostly beat and expensive. If I come across one cheap I will probably snag it but…

When I said "new in box" I meant "new in box."
The adjustable keyboard came with everything, even the numeric keypad, the adb cables were still packaged too. Best thing: no yel…
