Thanks to you all. It's rare to find an internet community that is not hostile to newcomers.
As for rescuing, I've been in the habit of rescuing hardware (much to the chagrin of m…

Tom Lee, you are a MacSaint. We should all be so generous. Truth is, unless everything is set up and running, it's a pain in the ass to make and test 400K MFS disks, and just one m…
Right now, for me, using Safari 4 in OS X...
http://www.google.com loads six files. One is a 9.6 KB main HTML, then there are the 8.4 KB and 5.3 KB images, and finally a 51.9 KB …

Depending on how often you visit the forums, its likely cached a lot more than Google is. I noticed the exact same thing myself when I was on dialup, the 68kMLA loaded faster than …
I've noticed this lately... at home on my crappy 56k dial-up, the 68kmla (I have "view new posts" bookmarked) consistently loads faster than Google's home page. Just thought it odd…
What can I say, I've found a whole new reason to dig through all my Apple collections again.
My brother in law sent me a dvd movie he found on the net called "A brief history of A…
Nice to see that you got your PB100 up and running - nice little machines and so easy to pull apart. I had a similar issue with a PB100 - exactly the same distribution of marks bu…
Nice score as well! There used to be a Volunteers of America in Galloway, OH that had a separate computer store in it. IT was like walking into heaven. They shut it down because…

As I suspect you know, the colour PowerBook Duo screens where marginally thicker than those found on the greyscale models, and so a replacement lid for the original DuoDock was ava…

And as a humorous sidenote, note to self:Unlike what you read everywhere on the web, you *can* put a 2300c in an original DuoDock, and it works just fine. You only need to push a l…

Hi all,
Ok, I consider myself as a near hardcore macuser (and vintage Macs collector) for a long time, yet yesterday I felt just like a dumb newbie. Not that those two words are s…

Send me a PM -- if you're willing to meet me, say, in Sunnyvale or thereabouts, I could hand you some disks. Or, send me a self-addressed package and I'll fill it up with what you …
Wow, beachycove, what a complete answer! Thanks a lot to both of you.
Actually last night I took some time to test those babies, and it seems like it's Christmas all over again!

i did something like that: I bought a cable almost like this http://www.proaudiosuppliers.com/hosa-cmp-159.html. The difference is that all the edges are 3,5mm so i also bought two…
That is a step I plan to try down the road. Right now I plan to try Disk Warrior as it can 'see' the drive but not access it. I ran Disk Utility - First Aid but was stopped by an…

It's interesting from a historical perspective because it was the first wide release of AppleScript 1.0. Useless for most purposes (AppleScript 1.0, I mean), but it was an importan…

I've noticed that when those particular iBook's have a failing hard drive, it's hard to determine, because the clunks are so random, it's not as consecutive as they usually are in …
