Sometimes conquests or liberations can be a bit expensive. My last conquest is of that kind, though in my opinion it was worth it! For about $140, this is what …
I finally had some free time last night, so I dug out the Q650 that's been in my garage for a year and tried to install A/UX on it. The booter went fine, it sta…
Alright, this conquest actually belongs to a friend of mine, but I thought it was a hoot: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previo…

Well, I was working in OS 9, it crashed and then I heard this horrid Mechanical Fail Noise. I unplugged it. I plug it back in, and it is the WORST failure sound…
I just washed all of my IIe's keys. All of them went back fine except the space bar. I do not know how to put it back on. How do you do it?
So I picked up 3 compacts from the side of the street in Arlington, MA yesterday. Rather I could say my girlfriend grudgingly picked them up for me. I found: } …

I have a Mac Classic II that I've been wanting to do some development on, and I've been trying to track down a good C compiler for System 7 Macs. It sounds like…
Well, I have decided that it is not impossible to fix the IIci. It is clear to me however, that it will need to be recapped, as the sound is gone. Luckily, ther…
