Hello all! Quick question for you all; I have an Apple Monitor IIc that works wonderfully, and I have been using it with my Raspberry Pi for a while now, running a couple of Apple II emulators when I don't feel like bringing out my IIc Plus. The only issue that I have with it is that the left...

...but still pretty nifty! I love repurposing old Apple tech, and this little project made me quite happy :) I've had a first-gen Apple TV since late 2007, and I've been absolutely in love with it. Despite its age, it is still a wonderful little set-top box. Recently, though, my fiancé has...

I rescued a trio of old iPods from the depths of my girlfriend's parent's cabinet this weekend! When I asked about them, they said "Oh, yeah, those old things haven't worked in years; they're yours if you want them." I wound up with two original 4GB minis (green and blue), and a 10GB 3rd gen...

Just wanted to share with you all my most recent new-to-me Mac :) My girlfriend has an aunt that is extremely obsessive about taking care of her things. Her house is frightening levels of immaculate. Anyway, we were out at dinner a week or so ago when she mentioned something about her...

Poking through the local Craigslist, I came across an iMac G4 being advertised for $20. Looking at the crappy picture, it looked to be in decent enough shape. The brief description said that it turned on and showed a grey screen, and that the owner didn't have enough time to put into finding out...

I just got what I consider one of the most attractive Macs Apple has ever made - the graphite iMac. Mine's a 600MHz Summer 2001 model, decked out with 512 megs of RAM and a CD burner - and all for $20! It's going on my deskbench to be a small work machine over on that end of my room...

So I was poking around craigslist yesterday, when I came across "First Gen iPod - $20." Interested, I clicked to find what appeared indeed to be a 1G iPod! E-mailed the girl, and we met up today on campus. I give her $20, she gives me a rather dirty-looking 2G 10gig iPod :D I cleaned it up a...

I just scored myself an early-90s HP UNIX box! There's this hallway in the basement of one of the engineering buildings on campus where a few of the oddball engineering labs that only a few people use are stuck, and at the end of it, waaaaaay in the back of the building, there's a large pile of...

My little 12" AlBook seems to be having some issues with its superdrive. Any disk that I insert is sucked in, pondered for a few seconds, then immediately spat back out. Blank CDs and DVDs, Music and data CDs, Movie DVDs, everything is just rejected. Any ideas why it's doing this? It worked...

Just another one of those curiosity threads, but who has actually managed to use all the ports on their 'Book? I just managed it a little earlier, and things got a little scrambled-looking :p http://gallery.me.com/multifinder17/100014/photo1231716253864/web.jpg They are: Power - All...

I just got myself a 12" PowerBook G4! It's part of my plan to redo my computer setup here; right now I have a dual 500 G4 tower as my main desktop, and a MacBook as my main laptop and power machine. Since I really don't need a powerful computer when out and about, but I do need one at home, plus...

I realize this is a bit of a stretch, but does anybody know if there's any Java compiler available for 68k Macs? I love my little compact for writing, and typing up my homework code would be the perfect job for it. Unfortunately, it's rather a bother to type it up, transfer it over, compile, get...

Yessiree, an SE has recently come into my possession! I got it from an old family friend. She's an amazing old lady. She lives in the home her grandfather built in 1886. My dad tunes her pianos and we monitor the lake on her property for her. Anywho, seems she got her little SE in '87 and used...

Just an FYI, the link in the post writing window that links to how to use bbcode redirects to the main page of the 68kMLA Wiki that has no mention of bbcode whatsoever. I rarely use it, so the few times I do, I used to go to that page. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to exist, and it's not on the...

Okay, so as you may know, I've upgraded this bugger a bit. Here's its specs now: G3/500, 512 megs RAM, 30 gig HDD, OS X 10.4.11 It's a very happy machine, except for one thing; it won't play quicktime movies. When Tiger installed, it played the intro movie fine without any hiccups, so I *know*...

Well, I've found issue number two; the pismo seems to be fine with DVDs, but it refuses to do anything with CDs, kinda obliterating my hopes of Jaguar. Has anybody experienced one of these that will read DVDs fine, but not do a damn thing with CDs? It makes no sense to me :?:

I just got myself a Pismo (poke around conquests :D ), and my only problem with it is that the battery is flat as a board. It shows up as empty and fully charged; if I pull it out and shove it back in, it shows the lightningbolt charging symbol, then goes back to fully charged (but still quite...

A professor I know at my school, who also happens to be a machead and Mac user since 1984, let me borrow his projector yesterday for a club meeting. When he pulled it out of the drawer, I saw a PowerBook G3 underneath, and so I asked him about it. He said that it had stopped working some time...

I just got myself a DA G4/466 with 384 megs 'o RAM for $20. Came with the original box and packaging, which is always nifty to get :) Got it to set up for a friend as her first experience with the Mac :)
