DOT 3-type automobile brake fluid works good as a plastic-safe paint stripper. DOT 4 is silicone-based and doesn't work.

I think this is one of the more uncommon colours from the flavour era. Don't quote me on that though. Great find!

Yesterday I received an email regarding a large amount of macs free. Today I went out to see what I could pick up. Well this place was quite a sight. Front of the house loaded w…

Also considering that too. What brands of 16-bit sound cards are there besides DigiDesign?

You may want to consider a 16 bit sound card as the IIci is limited to 8 bit sound.

I installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my iMac G3, though this time to take up the entire hard drive. After I finished the lengthy install and rebooted, I got the normal bootstrap+yaboot rout…

None yet, as the alcohol process takes forever.

Dropped into a yardsale and spotted a sad looking Strawberry Imac sitting with a bunch of monitors. I asked the lady how much for the Imac. The price was the same for all of them…

So how would I go about doing that? I have a (Maybe) Dead ADB Mouse 1, Some Sun Mice, IBM PS/2 Mice.Any Instructions? Ooohhh I'll be thinking about this during my vacation! I may n…

Ehh, I am not going to be using it daily, just as a vintage machine. Is this a good deal? And using KeyCaps can add some length to my YouTube videos } ... So It does sound to me …

OK, Thank you! I wanted to have an original monitor for it, but it didn't come with one. Thanks again, agg23

You need both unless you intend to do all your writing with "KeyCaps" and "Cut & Paste". That said you can do surprisingly alot with just a mouse. At least you aren't goi…

Well I don't mean in collectorability, I mean in functionality! Like do I need a keyboard more than a Mouse? I am going to get either, but for now I need one.

Finding an original keyboard without numeric keypad would be more important! The mice are the same as for all models upto the Mac Plus.

Also Whats more important to have with these? A mouse or a keyboard? I am trying to track down one of these, and my gut instinct is that the Mouse is more important. I have a low b…

I was actually considering buying the Daystar '040 that somebody was selling here for $20 for a while.

Before you worry overmuch about the third NuBus slot, why not fill the RAM slots with 16MB 80ns cards, and the cache slot with a DayStar 50MHz PowerCache card at minimum, or an 040…
