The Last Pismo

[Dan 7.1]

So i've got this 500MHz Pismo which I decided to start using around campus just to show up all these mac noobs who think they know something because they bought a MacBook.

Nuh-uh. I am old-school apple fanatic, i've had to deal with extension resource conflicts and manually adjusting RAM allocations, i've got Kaliedoscope and Tiger Lights all up on this piece. Don't mess with my OS9, bitch!

even better, we have to register our machine's MAC Addresses on our campus network with a name (bobsmac.nomads.etc), and i was able to name it Pismo. So i now have the officially, network-wide recognized UTK Pismo.

And i am so going to enjoy explaining it to people. i'm going to the library this afternoon to do some research, be interesting to see what kinds of questions arise.

I should get my iBook clamshell's working before I go to college in a year or so.

My favorite thing about my pismo on campus earlier this year and last year was the battery life. I had one (and at one time two) practically new high-mAh batteries, which means 5 hours of runtime doing average things in OS X, and a good seven hours if I booted into OS 9 and entered super-conservative writing mode. (I kind of wish I had a CF card to replace the hdd with.)

When I had two batteries, it was about 10 hours of normal use under OS X, and I could get something like seventeen hours of super conservative writing mode.

I frequently used my PowerBook 1400 at Uni a year or two ago and it occasionally attracted a couple of interested onlookers.

That's what I loved about that Pismo too. I could go all day on a charge. It was pure awesome.

I'm familiar with Kaleidoscope, but what is Tiger Lights?

I am happily running Tiger on one Lombard, and OS 9.04 on the other. I really enjoy using OS 9, and I'm on the Wacom browser right now typing this. The battery life, and bays are killer (I still use floppies, so it is nice to slide out my DVD and slide in the VST floppy drive in the bay).

I want to upgrade...but I'm not happy with the form factors of the MacBook Pro. Now, the MacBook Air is a different matter...but these Lombards are so darn good!

Tiger lights puts christmas lights around your desktop.

Durned thing made me run off to the internet and download over 200 screen savers. Just lost track of time and how many I installed. Wow.
