    Macintosh LC II Recapping and Dishwasher - please don't!

    I've done countless of caps and never lifted a pad by twisting it exactly 180° twist. What people don't realise - the cap leak is actually toxic. What makes me cringe is once you've washed in the dishwasher - you're eating it on your dinner plate and drinking the glasses from your old caps!!! ...

    What is the file extension of Classic Mac OS applications?

    yep that above. If you have windows/DOS disk that you want to use - you'll need PC File Exchange control panel installed on that Mac to recognise file format coming in, it'll convert to whatever needed to be. Cheers AP

    PB190, is it the worst? (Probably).

    Growing up - I had PowerBook 190cs and later upgraded to 5300cs, later found 5300ce sold it all off (regretted!) Last year I obtained two PowerBook 190s and both are working well. About 4 years ago I did obtain PowerBook 5300cs and it just crumbled into pieces - very bad plastics and it had...
