Ya Know What *Woulda* Been Cool ....? — #3

No Happy Apple For My iBook — #1

Finally got around to putting in the stripy insert I bought from iColours to customize my iBook G3 600. Alas, I was only able to get one of the screws out to open up the lid. The o…

Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #6

This is probably a "doable" project, but it's going to involve at least some hardware. (IE, I don't think you'll be able to get away with just a cable linking bare pins on the para…
