You're very right, and I respect your decision. Sorry if I have been rude. However, a better idea would be to advertise here on the Trading Post, the 68KMLA's own stop for sell…

I read the documentation on how to do it (many thanks), and got to the point of actually removing two screws to release the chassis, then stopped and thought long and hard about wh…

ZIPs are in the list of allowed extensions... so I'm not sure what the problem is really...

It's a setting in mediawiki, I had to configure mine at stenoweb.net/wiki/ specifically to allow PDF files for example. TL could probably change the setting, what is it that neces…

I've been around, popped in here every now and then, just had nothing to say. I've finally got power in me shed, so now I can start testing, bagging and tagging the collection. I…

Yes, I fear that your TiBook has developed a problem with the BGA joints under the graphics chip. This problem is unfortunately widespread (the early iBooks were infamously prone t…

Hello z, Thanks for this, I can't say I'm technically experienced enough to have even imagined that if the drive may be on its way out that it would still write in some formats bu…

My thoughts on posts like these are the same as a few people have mentioned. Essentially, don't let the door hit your rear on the way out. In my years on this board, which are (wi…

I understand the hoarding issue, it is something many of us have faced - myself included. I have since paired down my collection to these: 8600 BeigeG3MT Sawtooth PB5300cs iBo…
