I am giving my Newton MP 2100 to a friend and I want to remove any and all personal data on it beforehand. Is there an easy way to reset it back to factory settings/data. I do no…

Thanks a lot! I feel relieved now. Hopefully my SE won't need a cap job anytime soon!

Great "iMac" Find :lol:

Congrats, even thought the guy was kind of a ****head himself! Without motivating myself to go downstairs and turn on one of my compact Mac's, I believe the occasional "static pip…

Okay... I will try another Keyboard and see if that works. I tried both ports and that didn't cure the problem. thanks for the input. Adam

And the plastics of the machines are mostly excellent - even on the SE. Am I excited? You can tell I'm excited, can't you?

One full Dodge Grand Caravan load and one further half load later, I am well and truly stocked up on old Mac goodies - i.e., my Garage is a great deal more full of crap than it wa…

I would be worried about the machines bouncing around in the trunk waiting for you to sneak them in the house. Click to expand... They tend not to bounce when they're packed so…

Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his ca…

Some of you might recall my recent 512k conquest last week. Well, I left it case and all in the trunk of my car, waiting until the next day after my wife left for work to smuggle i…
