Any of us here into the case modding scene? I have a Macintosh SE FDHD here that shouldn't be too hard to get working again, looks like the HD is blown but that's all. The case ext…

I have a personal webhost I can put them on.

This time I'm gonna binhex them on my classic Mac before archiving. I'll set them up on an FTP. Since they're all abandonware, it should be perfectly legal for you all to snag co…

I would look for Office 2004, and not any earlier version, mainly as MS has a free utility that allows you to read docx etc. files in it. That alone, apart from numerous interface …

Oh man, dunno. I have a Color Classic that I did my 640x480 mod on, I could stick my other upgrade card in there. I'm at work so my mind is racing over possibilities when I get h…
