so i bought a couple Quadra 700's

a couple are missing programmers switch, but they all work.

love me some Quadra 700!

Been visiting Isla Nublar?

Thats like $2k in boxes there. And I thought I was a hoarder! Any cool finds on the insides?

Source(s)? One does not simply stumble upon these at a yard sale (in this era at least)!

Wow! Congratulations.

Damn! The Q700 is the one Q that I want to complete the IIcx/IIci/Q700 series. Well, I would not mind two. But this is a great find - Uniserver! I'm jealous! LOL!

Well nothing super cool like a PPC card, but some have 20megs of ram

Hold on to your butts...

Uni,

If you find you have too many, let me know what you are looking for in cash or trades...

I still want to make this program as a "mac demo"..... 

Just for kicks, here's a 1080p capture of Nedry at his desk. Definitely another Q700 with a SuperMac 17" CRT. There are actually two monitors plugged into the Quadra... or, if there's another Mac there, we can't see it.

The other computer is a Silicon Graphics workstation. The black & white photo of the man smoking the pipe is J. Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb. In other screen grabs, you can see the top right post-it on Oppenheimer's picture reads "BEGINNING OF THE BABY BOOM". The other one is a thought bubble of a sketched nuclear explosion/mushroom cloud. Interesting.

"Nedry" is an anagram of "nerdy." Might have something to do with the words on the yellow pad, which read ""NERD ENTER OF...<hidden>".

Here's what I found about the gray tablet-looking device next to his elbow: It's the design mock up from the final presentation to Motorola for the iRadio (name later changed to Envoy). It was designed by frogdesign in California. The head of frogdesign, Hartmut Esslinger, met Spielberg on a plane and showed him this mockup. Steven asked if it could be used as a prop in the film, and Hartmut gave it to him. There were three configurations proposed, and this one was the one that Motorola had chosen to pursue. An antenna was added later.

The little orange alien-looking thing is a "Panic Pete," a squeezable stress-relieving toy.

There was $875,000 worth of Silicone Graphics hardware, $350,000 from Apple, and $500,000 in additional hardware and software to equip and run the control room.

Dennis is drinking Jolt.

The pinup girl on the screen when Samuel L. Jackson is trying to get the power back on is called zebragirl.



This picture shows the 2nd Mac monitor. The resolution isn't very high, which suggests there's a video card in that Quadra that supports 2 screens.

The "security cam feed" is actually a pre-recorded QuickTime video, since there was no streaming video in 1993. QuickTime had just come out about a year and a half earlier.

The red LEDs in the background are actually part of a Thinking Machines CM-5 supercomputer.

The animated image with Nedry's big head on it that taunts Samuel L. Jackson ("ah, ah, ah, you didn't say the magic word!") is a cartoon of a chunky Elvis Presley in his famous white outfit with the word "King" in red script across his chest. 

It's 2 separate Macs. When a Mac uses a second monitor, the Menu Bar is only on one of the screen. Here both monitors have menu bars.

Well they have everything gone off the menu bar, and you would have to do that programatically. So the running program would have to do that. 

Kick A$$  

It's an OctoQuadra.

Puts my three to shame  .  .  .  niiiiiice, uni!  :quadra:

As for more movie trivia, watch the scene where Arnold is describing whtrbt.obj, and look at the Quadra; they unhooked it and placed it on its face so you didn't see the back of it. So, most likely, they're staring at a blank monitor.

The black & white photo of the man smoking the pipe is J. Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb. In other screen grabs, you can see the top right post-it on Oppenheimer's picture reads "BEGINNING OF THE BABY BOOM". The other one is a thought bubble of a sketched nuclear explosion/mushroom cloud.

I've had that stuck to one of my monitors for years.[
