I remember! It's amazing that it was almost 12 years ago! My how time flies! I still have a bunch of SE/30 and Fat Mac parts floating around from back then. I managed to sell maybe one or two as I recall, and I've been sitting on the rest. And then I had to I move it, at least twice, and...

@Xero I won't go into too many details (because politics), but I agree with you. The thing that's most disappointing to me is the higher bar to get in. Every upper level job that I know of requires, in addition to a college degree, some kind of experience, which is usually gained at an entry...

I've already established how I feel about this, but I will repeat in somewhat different (and hopefully not contradictory) terms: I wouldn't use AI for anything myself, but so long as @Xero is honest and transparent about how he uses Claude (or whatever his chatbot of choice is), what he's using...

ApriTosh! MacinGust! MacinTune! JuliTosh! c

I have a Brother MFC-L3770CDW, and it prints to all my modern stuff fine (via ethernet). for fun, I tried to see about making it work on Windows 98 once (yes, Windows 98), and I couldn't. I'd imagine the problem would be similar for Classic Mac OS. Anyone here know? That aside, I'm sure it...

Tie-grr! c

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: This is interesting. Even though it's pretty much a solved problem nowadays, this sort of device could potentially be useful for backing up or recovering old SCSI drives from the comfort of a modern-ish computer (Firewire is essentially dead, and indeed recent...

Well, technically this is possible if one uses Virtual PC, I suppose. c

How wonderfully obtuse! On my 2013 rMBP running Sequoia via OCLP, my autocorrect doesn't actually work at all in places like Mail and Messages, so I'm probably better off. And to that end, I actually turn it off altogether on my other machines, so I can spell things however I like and it won't...

I'm only going to say this once: I find the unrelenting vitriol toward @Xero over his use of AI quite disheartening, especially given his honesty and transparency. And although I don't feel comfortable with AI, I do feel that in the proper context and with adequate guardrails, it can be a...

Gosh! This is a very sinister form of planned obsolescence, isn't it? It's one thing for software to expire (one can always find different, unexpired software (or software for which expiration is no issue) to install in it's place), but it's another altogether for the computer itself to expire...

They're also why so many Dells were unreliable junk from ~2002 through 2006 or so (roughly the same time period as the aforementioned eMacs and iMac G5s). c

Ah, OK! c

HAM mode? c

Oops! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be rude or condescending!! I don't have a clue how he used it or the impact he made with it, but I'm sure the information's out there somewhere.... It would be interesting to know! c
