Mac II, Quadra & Centris

Just think, having a Quadra 950 in 1992 would be like having a Mac Pro today… except with more slots, more expandability, and on-board SCSI!

Just realised how bad I am at explaining things 😂
Hello from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 P-Brick. I'm running EV3DEV (Debian linux) and w3m to access 68kmla. The EV3 brick has ~512MB of RAM last I checked, and w3m can even display 4-color greyscale images on the tiny, tiny EV3 screen.

My TiBook just managed last night to pull a 2 hour uptime out of it's previously near dead battery. Oh, and the BMS glitched and set the capacity to near the 16-bit integer limit...

So I noticed a few days ago the awesome thread from that Hare Krishna person was deleted. Luckily, I made a copy of that thread's page soon after it was originally posted. Probably should have sent it to archive.org, too... Maybe someone viewing this forum decades from now will be surprised with what we dealt with back in the day.
