Do they ever wish that I have a law degree from Harvard? But they know that a law degree is not required to see that this is not about different sense of value. This is all about being territorial and paranoid. Some got berzerk as if I stepped on their genitalia. I tried to spice up the threads...

JDW. Apparently you anticipated all from your closing remarks and you have nerve to wonder why. Truth is I'm also not upset but simply be on your seat. What is more revealing than incriminating your motive by saying that my harsh reply only *reinforced* your *negative suspicions.* You are right...

I didn't realize a few keystrokes of the word eBay would cause people such hoo-hah to jab on my personal life style, the educational background or the level of salary. I'm an enthusiast on many things and it truly doesn't stun me that there are always something that ticks someone anywhere you...

Wow, the 10,000 RPM HD upgrade in a Mac SE/30 alone must have boost the speed more than the Daystar accelerator itself could ever do.

When is it a good time to sell your Mac for an auction? Is it the year's end?

Are they electrolytic surface mount capacitors? I do have more than decades of experience in soldering but the surface mount cap is something I've never done before. Although working Mac is preferred to a dead one, will the replacement of caps lower the value of the authenticity? Mine is...

By the way, I didn't realize that the difference between a QuickSilver to a Mac 9500 with G3 card is like 12-cylinder Jaguar engine to a 1974 Pinto.

Thanks. The reason I wanted the USB/Firewire combo in a first place is to sell them off quick so that whoever bought it won't complain about not being able to tranfer files to an ubs drive. Also what I like about the Power Tower Pro is that its board is ATA format so that I can fit them on an...

Does it mean I need to wipe out everything on the hard drive?

Thanks I didn't realize that the IIfx has it's own SIMM standard among different Macs. It must be really hard to find them especially the 16MB stick than the 30-pin one.

Is it possible to add a USB/Firewire Combo PCI card on Mac 9500 (Power Tower Pro with NewerTech G3)? Bear with me, it's been more than ten years since I brought my Mac out of the closet so I forgot everything about the OS9 system management. The three USB and two Firewire combo card I just got...

I have a Powe Tower Pro (Mac 9500) running the NewerTech G3 processor card. Is it worth to replace the G3 with G4 CPU if there is an option? How much gain do you really get from G3 to G4 anyway? Will mine be able to run OSX just as good as the Quick Silver G4? Thanks

I have a Power Tower Pro (Mac 9500) with *NewerTech G3 processor* card in it. It's running OS9. The good thing about the old system is that you have quite a few PC slots to fill in. How much power and benefits do you get from the Quick silver G4 compared to mine? Is that a substaintial...

How much is 16MB IIfx SIMM goes nowaday? Is there any other Mac that use the same SIMM as the IIfx other than the one that shares same motherboard?

Is it really the cap? For some reason, the "SimasiMac" effect" does go away when I put the original ROM back in. But only when I put in the IIfx ROM, the effect comes back for about two seconds before the smily Mac icon apprears. I don't know if it was you but remember someone saying that...
