I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of which are mine. :) But I'm going to be out of here soon, and hopefully a 68k PowerBook will be in my future. If not...

The G3 iMacs will never truly become collectors items. After all, they are awfully hard to stack a hundred and twenty to a pallette. }:) If anything from the PPC onwards has lasting value to collectors, it will be because of the physical design of the machine. So the G3 iMac will be a...

If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning a half a dozen 9.1 machines. Maybe some version of Mac OS 7 would interest me, but I'd rather do that on a 68k Mac...

Actually, I'm fairly certain that I've seen the artwork from the cover of the book and not the original piece. Which means I've either seen that book before (unlikely, but I will kick myself for missing the opportunity to buy the book if I did), or they reused the artwork for another title.

Not that I should be advocating this, but it would be sweet if someone sacrificed their copy to a document scanner for all to see. I recently used one at my school, and it's pretty sweet how some of them can scan directly to a PDF file on a USB stick that you plug into the machine itself. As...

Who the hell said that Mac was a "great humanitarian cause" and that Apple was selfless? All that I implied was that thousands of man hours of work was flushed down the toilet because Microsoft supposedly threatened to not renew the license for Applesoft BASIC if Apple released Mac BASIC. If...

It looks like a book from a third-party publisher, so thousands (if not tens of thousands) of copies may have been printed. That being said, it does offer credence to the existence of the product. It also makes me wonder how many thousands of man hours were lost due to Microsoft's...

A few of notes: - CD Sunrise will only support HFS CDs. So ensure that you are creating HFS CDs if you are using a CD drive to transfer files onto the SE. - Apple's CD driver will support ISO CDs, but it only supports Apple branded drives IIRC. It is the drive that matters, not the...

I'm the type of person who thinks that a 2 line signature is more than too much. But it doesn't really matter on this forum anymore: if you don't like long signatures you can simply turn them off. (Same for avatars of questionable taste.)

I have often heard the claim that the Apple /// was intentionally crippled, usually for marketing reasons and always with the implication that it did not have to be done. But is there anything to substantiate that? Here's my thoughts: The original Apple II had a rather quirky design...

The DIPs are historical artifacts. Until the early or mid 1990s, most monitors used a fixed frequency. For all intents and purposes, this meant that a monitor ran at particular horizontal and vertical resolutions. If you wanted to use a higher resolution, or have a higher refresh rate, you...

PM a mod about this. There is no reason to have another rambling thread amongst the users of the forums because this is not our decision. Rather it is the decision of the people who maintain and sustain this place.

While we are on the topic, what are the limitations of using an old X server with new X clients? We are, after all, talking about an X server that implements (moderately?) different standards.

Wowa there, you are the one who is way out of line. First of all, I was pointing out that we have a turf war between at least two camps. They probably aren't organised per se, but the attitudes are there. Second, I don't subscribe to either camp, even though you seem to be painting me as the...

I'm going to suggest something that a few of you seem to be missing: It's not about the Lounge, stupid. Look, some of the members of one camp (let's call them camp A) positively hate some of the members of the other camp (let's call them camp B) . Perhaps the felling is mutual. I don't...

My aplogies for going Scott on you, but trading "abandonware" is illegal. End of story. In reality, I could care less what goes through your open TCP/IP ports. That's your decision. What goes on in these forums though, that needs to be on the up and up. There is some potential for the...

Just as I posted a URL to exclude the Lounge while searching for new posts, I will post a URL to include the Lounge: http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?search_id=newposts There is no need to burden the administrators by demanding such a feature when you could easily toss that link in your URL...

That new new posts link should be checked. I'm getting 9 results with the old new posts link, only one of which is in the Lounge, and three results with the new new posts link. I don't know about that. Behaviour usually seems to change with these pronouncements, so the people around here are...

Bad things happen to all of us all of the time. Thing is, very few of them are tragedies. If we lose our job, we look for a new job. If we lose a friend, we try to make amends or look for new friends. If our vehicle breaks down, we try to fix it. If our Mac breaks down, well, that is a true...
