Um... "But why should i throw out that Cd-R with bacteria colonies growing on it? I might need it sometime..."

My thoughts are, "Meh, I have it, might as well keep it in case I need it. It'll be a PITA to find another one if I throw it out." Hence things tend to pile up quickly.

The Macintosh IIfx relies on both batteries to start up unfortunately. Mike Richardson (forum member here) sells them for cheap though and ships internationally. Check out his…

Good luck, but I'm sure you'll be back. I'm a bit of a hoarder myself, (lots of "useless" spare parts) but I'm trying to find the space to have all my systems set up and functionin…

Goodbye. Though I don't see any point in completely disappearing. I remember one user that disappeared but came back. coughimac600cough. I do relate to the hoarding issue. For a wh…

What does the other battery do? Couldn't I just switch the working battery with the not working one? Just to check if the machine still works... BTW, I live in Norway. They never …

Well, the seller does say "most likely NTSC". You might want to ask him why he thinks that. /ETA/ I have a broadcast quality VHS PAL (and possibly NTSC) dubbing deck here. If y…

BTW, the batteries can be found at eBay or any electronics store.

No it will not, one of the batteries is used to turn the machine on and that is the one that dies first. I have a pair of IIfx and a pair of IIx machines so I know. Make sure you …

Hehe I know it's Nubus I'm not used to write Nubus, hehe So you won't worry? A IIfx won't boot without good batteries?

The dead battery needs replace or the unit will not turn on, nothing to worry about (except you said you removed PCI cards from a Nubus machine).

I had bought some new equipment for my IIfx for connecting it to internet. I hadn't used it for about two years and it worked perfectly then, and now it won't start No boot soun…

Goodbye, I guess. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the goodbye threads...Seems really attention-whoreish, in my opinion. I'm probably the only one that feels this way, though. Cli…

Shred, were your tapes NTSC or PAL? If Apple shipped PAL tapes to Australia (the prudent choice), then I have no business bidding on this. I really don't want to dig up the old P…

Farewell.

You're not.

You were nice and always brought a sense of humore here. We'll miss you! And I wholeheartedly agree with your advice. After I buy a PowerComputing clone and a Macintosh IIci wi…

I was like that before I got married. Between work and home life I don't really have time to go around and collect computers anymore. At one time I had about 20 compact Macs in m…

CORRECTION The screwdriver was a 150x3mm flat blade (200m length would have been better but I couldn't find one)

I have to agree. The PowerBook 140/160/170/180 was a nice piece of industrial design. The way that the battery door acts to lock the case halves together makes it impossible to d…
