I logged on with Chicken Of The VNC, but since I'm using an Hackintosh, the keyboard was messed up and when I tried making a folder, it made quite a few folder copies.

Thanks, could I use IBM 5.25 floppies in the apple II? *Please say yes* they were just a random score new in package from a local thrift store. Click to expand... Yes (and that…

It's running solidly now. Feel free to log on. I'll leave it up probably for a while. I don't have any use for the eMac right now. It's a 1.42 GHz, the fastest eMac made. Only 512…

And believe me, they are, until they crumble into dust.

I never said discards from the US, there are plenty of machines in India that could be reused.

Yes I'm a bigger fan of shipping existing 386 upwards machines rather than having them in the landfill and mass producing something else that isn't really needed. Click to expan…

I am going to be getting a G4 Sawtooth from MacDan on the forum in a trade. I would like to figure out how for him to find out easily what board revision it has. I kinda need to kn…

Me and a freind liberated a IIe from school and it works great, and is sweet to look at and play with but with no software it is just eyecandy. I was wondering how can I get games …

I would think 486/P1 machines would be of more use then some nintendo clone, and already exist. Click to expand... Yes I'm a bigger fan of shipping existing 386 upwards machine…

Sorry, missed the follow up articles. Most of the teachers I've met don't understand learning. They may understand teaching, but that's not the same thing at all. Clic…

If you think that a $12 computer is going to recreate that "golden age" of technophilia, I would assert that your idea is naive. Click to expand... I don't think any such thing…

If you ever programmed you know that given a task there are a number of ways of doing it. Schools seems to teach the one "good" way to do something, and all others are inferior. Wh…

I learned to program in the 80's because my 1st machine (A timex 2068) was orphaned a year after I got it and had few apps. Kids in the 90's could be creative even with games beca…

That's awesome! Thanks!

This was so cool. Thank you Mr. Richardson!

Kids are treating computers like cell phones and game systems. That has nothing to do with the computers themselves. Rather it has to do with society's attitudes towards computer…

On the subject of constructive discussion, I'd suggest that anyone who is interested should have a look at the real project website and make up their minds from there, ignoring all…

II2II, porter, in a minor way paws: Chill. It is not that important. For those of you who think it's stupid, it won't sell if it's stupid, and it'll die out. For those of you who …
