Of course you do, now that he's educated you.

While it works with some, it doesn't work with the majority. I've witnessed it myself. You cannot go wrong with the fixed res shadow mask apple displays on the LC II.

If you saw 7100s in 1992, I can only imagine how surreal 1994 and 1995 were for you.

2 Days ago I received a sweet SE/30. She sports a 230MB HD, 20MB RAM, PDS Ethernet Card, the original apple keyboard and adb mouse that shipped with the SE series, and no case yellowing. This one was really a steal at the price. The only drawback is a bit of screen burn-in. If I can find a...

I think the Quadra/Centris 660av looks great in its pizza box. I recall almost trading a Power Macintosh 6100/60 for a Centris 660av in 1996 for the advanced features the 660av has. It's really an incredible Macintosh, even when stacked against the first generation Power Macintosh computers...

Try turning it on, then immediately recycling the power by turning it off and on again. This usually will kickstart a Quadra 610/660av with a dead clock battery.

Sarcasm, right?

I agree in principle. I was just wondering if it would have been worthwhile to use the 7300 case to prevent yellowing of the 8600, since it's basically my #2. Those bulky, tall 86/9600 towers are imposing and attractive, I must admit. There was a ton of outstanding software on the 7300 HD...

I was walking home from dinner yesterday evening when I happened upon the 7300. No yellowing... what strange luck I have lately. It still had the 2GB SCSI HD, 12x CD-ROM and SuperDrive within it. I'm thinking of putting my 8600/200 board in the 7300 case so that the 8600 case is preserved...

Thanks! I think you mentioned you've been using your 6500 more lately, right? I have actually wanted a 6500 since 1997. Like the 8/9600, I couldn't afford it back then and was stuck on a 6100/60 and 8100/80. Now I have both :p (too bad I was 10 years late...) The sad part is, she was...

That's disappointing, but it does ring a bell about the G3 being the first EIDE Mac. :(

I managed to liberate a sweet Power Macintosh 6500/250 yesterday. I also received the Multiscan 15AV monitor and Color StyleWriter 4100 that often accompanied it in educational purchases for free. It's replaced my 8600/200(G4350) as my primary vintage workstation for now. The 250 603ev is...

Next time you are in 1995, bring me a hemostat :p (joking, of course) Actually, your advice is very sound and useful in this thread. I wish I'd had it back when '040s cost real money. I had tried the butter knife and needle nose pliers, but I just couldn't get them aligned well. I believe...

A bit daft, are we? If that is platinum, then I'm Nelson Rockefeller. The platinum IIe is actually one of my favorite Apple systems. I currently have 1 IIGS Rom 3 with a 5.25" and 3.5" diskette drives. I'm always on the hunt for a pristine platinum IIe.

If you don't like it, you can send it to me. }:)
