I forgot to mention I just started a new project with the Wally: converting my music tapes into mp3. Actually, it's the only computer I got a the moment that can fulfill this task due to sound-in. Maybe even the 1400 could but I rather don't try. My Windows 7 laptop doesn't have line-in and I...

Something has to be said about the Wallstreet's line of devices, at least the second iteration. I scored a nice one for next to nothing last year and have given it only recently love and attention. The screen is still phenomenal. I've hardly ever enjoyed a screen so much as with this model...

While I do not the upgrade path for a WS, just bumping it up to 300 Mhz from 266 or so doesn't seem the big deal. Sonnet lists a 500 mhz upgrade.

How a little retro mood can get someone into liberating again :D Found a Wallstreet hyped with the following specs: 13.3 inch screen & 300 Mhz G3. Low-end-Mac DOESN'T list a Wallstreet with this configuration. Does it exist? Either it's a 14.1" Wallstreet II with 300 Mhz, or in fact if...

While LaTex sounds interesting, I do need some basic .doc compability when papers are to be turned in electronically. What I did with my Sunday project was to email it from the 1400 to myself, fire up Wordperfect 14, and to be on the safe side, save it as a Word 2003 doc. Then email it to the...

So, got a bit into a retro mood this past weekend and decided to use my 1400er with Word '98 to type an endless paper for school. So far, so good. Neither Word nor OS 8.6 has let me down for the whole 17 hours marathon on Sunday (talk about deadlines and procrastination) ;) Any objections...

I'm such a member who only sporadically logs on and posts a bit until life gets into my way. :D

Thanks everyone for the informatin provided. Esp. the tip with the differently branded names might prove helpful. Anyways, if anyone feels to part with whatever LC model let me know.

I can see your point and certainly I can bog down Panther by running several apps, streaming music, and downloading a dmg while surfing the internet. Still, there is plenty of air until that happens.Then again, OS 9 runs fine and does everything I want it to do. I just thought I couldn't run...

I'm lucky so far with the hinges but can see that they are problematic. Pitty!

From tinkering with my older Macs I got pretty used to doing things the classic Mac way. Naturally, I decided to install OS 9.2.2 on a newly acquired 466 iBook clamshell. It got full RAM (576 MB). While I love the consistency of OS 9 with the older system software, I am slightly irritated with...

I'm wondering how popular the LC III was (or not)? Reason, I don't encounter hardly any of them where I look. Even on ebay they seem scarce. I figured, I want one of those since they fit neatly on the desk I use for my PC (and hence I can hook it up to my monitor with the adapter), and...

Just wanted to let you know that this 520c works like a champ. As cheesy as LCD and keyboard are, there is something about this model that makes me using it now almost daily. As I just mentioned in another post it works great via ethernet on my home network (with a copy of EZ-IP running in the...

Welcome to the forums. Good to see younger folks picking up the same interests. Me, not a frequent poster here but certainly reading along. I got myself into classic Macs some years back when I picked up a Plus with external HD. I assure you, it won't be the only machine you're running right...

Hope I don´t disqualify! :I

Sorry folks, but when I got the Torx screwdriver today, I couldn´t resist. Opened the Mac. Figured how to get out the board. ALL CAPS LEAKING! 8-o I´m washing it clean now! Needs a week or so to dry. You can read about my preparations on my blog. Any constructive comments welcome. Hey, I...

Okay, I did some reading yesterday about the SE. Seems the SE was the improved Plus. It works between 10-20 % faster, option for internal HD, later models with Superdrive, PDS slot, "better" cooling. Improved on almost all aspects. But, why does it only support up to 4 MB like the Plus? Or...

@all: Thanks for the opinions. @Bunsen: yes, you´re right. If it weren´t for the schools and colleges who have been buying Apple for more than two decades.... Thanks for the tipp with the accelerator. If I could find some more RAM, it looks like this can be a 68k power workstation for future...

Okay, I have the opportunity to snag a working 520C for a "donation" to the college. Any opinions of what I should give? Having seen them on Ebay between 45 to 100 $ with Buyitnow. If one is lucky one can get one for less with a bet. Since ebay prices are most likely always inflated, I would...

I was able to connect my SE/30 via Etherwave adapter (connected to the serial port) to the iBook running Panther via Appletalk. To be correct, I can conncet to SE/30´s volume (hard disk) in the Network folder as a guest and then I am able to access all files on the SE or to drag and drop files...
