Consider this before posting: Does every new topic have to turn into a rant about your favourite bugbear? Whether it is capitalism, socialism, planned obsolescence, Microsoft, Ap…

Very nicely scored! I assume that's a DA? I see that you have an original power supply from your other machine to restore this new one to functionality. If you think the ethernet…

If $35 exceeds one's budget for a vintage Mac, EBAY is certainly not the place to be shopping! I paid $25 plus shipping in the past simply for 128k ROMs pulled from a Mac Plus log…

Well, it went over my budget. I may want a //c mouse, but not *THAT* badly.

I wonder if calculating pi to some long number of digits would use up a lot of RAM... Click to expand... Not unless you want it to. Just for the **** of it, when I first got my…

A subject of some humorous debate on Cubeowner.com. What is a Cube? Original? Certainly. Hot-rodded? Those who have a "daily driver" cube have all hopped up the CPU and GPU, instal…

I have no intention whatsoever to bid on it, nor did I post that to encourage anyone here to bid on it. I was merely using it as an example when talking about the overuse of the w…

JDW, that auction is interesting... It's not TOO far from me (~160 mi,) so I think I'll bid on it. (And so we don't get into a bidding war, I bid an amount that will make price+s…

When I spotted this Mac 512ke auction, I couldn't help but remember this thread. The seller is basically selling a Mac Plus but he is pitching it heavily as a 512ke because he fee…

G4 has the original Rage128 AGP card with 16 MB RAM. It handled 1280x1024 at full color depth just fine. Click to expand... That card has been much maligned by many, but in my…

I don't mean to unnecessarily steer this discussion back on topic, but it's worth noting that most decent surge protectors have a ground indicator built-in... might be a worthwhile…

No problem. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

But imagine if instead of computers going to landfills because people got fed up with viruses and trojans it was actually not painful to reinstall Windows - how different would thi…

I'm going to combine parts from my single and the new dual and get the dual working as my main desktop. Oh, I also picked up an Airport card for $12.50, so that's going in, too.

I don't know about the car bit. When is the last time you seen a car rust out, blow up at under 100K miles, burn oil, need new exhaust, etc? Cars last a long time these days. They …

It's capitalism unchecked. Why make something which lasts for a long time if it doesn't benefit the builder? Houses which need to be rebuilt or replaced, on the other hand, do bene…

Couldn't be worse then 1970's homes with oxidizing aluminum wire that causes hot spots and fires.

It is said that few newer houses will last for 100 years like older built ones have. Click to expand... Older houses seem better because the shoddy houses built 100 years ago h…

Thanks...I think PatchBurn is going to do it...drive seems to be burning properly now...

The G4 has some issues with starting properly. Sometimes it will go to the desktop, other times it will stay on the gray screen. I'll try it again tonight.

It is shocking how bad even some new houses are wired. Click to expand... hehehehehehehe (sorry, couldn't help myself) It's also quite awful that the morons who do these shodd…

8.6 and 9 are almost identical. I recommend using 8.6 if it's less crashy. It can do almost anything 9 can do.

Some (most?) LCD panels have an option to display the resolution that your computer supplies in their native pitch Click to expand... Just as an aside, I haven't seen that opti…

Did you try the G4 Yet?
