Yay!

Oooo, neat. I like that tilt n' swivel design study with the wood accent on the keyboard.

@macinbot That's a good idea. Just a plastic bezel to clip in and hide the rough edges.

@finkmac Nice sleuthing. The .cpt is just a picture, but the executable looks to be correct. :) Too bad it's not a disk image, but it's a start. Should be a bootable floppy disk. Perhaps I can reconstruct it. Thanks!

You know, with the WootSwitch being a branch of the HootSwitch, you sure missed an opportunity to call it a SwitchSwitch. :D

Just my luck. Disk looks like it went through an EMP. :(

If this is the kind of iMac with a magnetic screen that's easily removable with a suction cup, then you can try the RAM trick. On some models of Intel Macs, removing a stick of RAM to change the total amount of RAM and booting it will also remove the firmware lock. Incidentally, I also kept...

I've read that the already premixed "Heavy Hammock" you can get at stores (PPG1027-3) is a very close match to Apple beige. Here it is next to an actual paint sample of Apple beige from a touchup kit direct from Apple.

Has anyone seen this Desk Accessory for System 6 before? It's called DeskScene by PBI Software. It appears to let you set a full picture for your desktop instead of a desktop pattern. I know there are likely many others like it, but I couldn't find much information on this particular one...

@Iesca Here's a Computer Chronicles episode where the have some in clear cases. :)

I had the exact same experience with my LC. It's still awesome, though. :)

The cassowary is also fascinating, and is one freaking mean bird. It's been known to kill people. Even Steve Irwin was said to have never messed around with it, and he messed around with all sorts of dangerous animals. There was also the (now extinct) Haast's eagle. It was originally...

Would be neat to have a run of 3rd party universal IIci/Quadra style case with interchangeable port cover along the bottom. I'd style it like a Quadra 700 so it could sit vertically, but I'd make it so the logo can be rotated (like the Playstation 2) so it's legible in either tower or desktop...

The Hoatzin from South America is one of my favorite birds of all time. Still has little claws that are extremely useful especially as chicks. If a snake or avian predator makes it into the tree, the chicks can use their claws and large feet to climb the branches of the tree. The tree is...

@mizerable I'd recognize a 2012 MacBook Pro with 2010 acrylic white MacBook track pad anywhere. :) But have you swapped the keys into a B&W checkerboard pattern, yet? :D
