Regarding what could be done for the site & pages, I think that this site could severely benefit from having it's own custom software. There's a number of advantages you could take into account with that: Data export not only from the current site, but also from the stitz archives A LoFi...

Nice find, hard to beat the price! I dig the plaid desktop pattern. ;D

This site is golden: http://www.cc.ic.ac.uk/helpdesk/apriori/73.2292.html (archive.org link) According to that, it's a software error. But you mention reinstalling 7.6 had no effect, I might suspect either: Your installation media (can you do a different version of Mac OS and see how it...

I was just thinking, it couldn't hurt to have a retr0bright FAQ on the wiki. It seems questions about it come up a lot around here.

Clicked this thread thinking it was the opposite (a Tiger theme for Sierra)... You might be one of the few Tiger users who wants a different theme. Who wants their Finder logo looking as childish as this?

IIRC, the last version of Python that will work in Mac OS 9 is 2.3. If you want modern Python, there's always MacSSH. Or you could just install Mac OS X (and compile Python yourself... maybe this will work?) or Linux (which definitely would support 3.6).

I wouldn't be surprised if an OS reinstall fixed that, there's always the possibility that a few bits were flipped on the graphics card driver and that's what resulted.

I've got two clamshells: the first one is in pretty nice condition, the second one has a broken CD drive and only 24 MB of RAM. The nice one gets used as a portable Mac OS 9 machine for me, I use my Indigo iMac G3 for most my OS 9 needs, but I like having the clamshell on the go. The second...

Looks like my Mac Plus. I've got a 128K upgraded to a Plus, with all the original 128K accessories. It's a pretty zippy 128K looking machine with 4MB of RAM. I do believe this upgrade was quite common.

Nice find. These usuallly go for way more $$$ on eBay, even broken. :)

I'd say go for it if the price does not go too high. I've got a Mac Plus and it's one of my favorite machines. The mice and keyboard are somewhat hard to find, but you might eventually find one. You might even see if there is a forum member who could sell you one.

A LC II from Johnnya101... thanks! A Bondi Blue iMac G3 from craigslist. This is my second iMac G3 (other one is a Indigo one). Even came with original manuals and stickers. There's even a particularly cute "Sorry, no beige." sticker. And in the non-Mac world: A Digital HiNote CT475...

BSD already can do modern things... ;D And if you want to do modern things on a 68k running *nix, you just stick to the lightweight stuff.

I presume it was just cost savings. Why get a new metal sheet designed when you don't need to?

FWIW, the LC II even has a hole in the metal part of the case for a floppy drive, just not the plastic.

falen5, those are some impressive photos. Next time I get a complaint from a friend "you already have too many Macs", I can show them those photos.

Thanks for sharing this... I've got a 520 and if its adapter goes bad, I'll know where to look now!

Just tested on System 6 and the blessing procedures are the same. I had to double click the system folder once I was done for the Macintosh icon to appear. Is there already a Macintosh icon on the system folder? If so, it's already blessed.

A good way to test the speaker on the A/B is to remove the A/B and connect some leads from your favorite audio producing device (Cell Phone, CD player, etc.) to the speaker directly. I think the speaker sound goes through a few other pieces of circuitry on the logic board than the headphone...

Drag the System icon and the Finder icon in the System Folder to the desktop, then open the HD and drag both back to the System Folder. There should be a Mac icon on the system folder once it has been blessed.
