I'm thinking the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi would be prefect to drive this. On the plus side you'd have enough horsepower left over to ran an Apple II emulator on it.

Wow I had never seen a CRT catch on fire. I never had a 21" Studio display, but I had a Sony 21" FD Trinitron and a 19" Trinitron. They were great displays. The main thing I did not like about them is they put out a lot of heat. Baside the great contrast they had, I liked them because they...

It is amazing how expensive how expensive the apps were. Looks like most were $40. Now most mobile apps are just a few bucks. I wonder if the Newton would have more successful with there were more low cost apps for it.

I had started researching this years ago. One of my goals was to use commodity so that it would be easy for anyone to build. At the time I was looking at using an Ardunino. That never really panned out as it just did not have the horse power. I've been thinking about the Raspberry PI. It has...

Can you flash the card?

About six months ago I found a first gen MacPro for $180. I have 32GB of RAM in mine. I lucked out and got the ram in trade for some work. I don't use it much for 2 reasons. One it pulls a lot of power. According to my PDU it pulls about 220 Watts at idle. The other thing is that the CPUs...

I wish I had never sold my Q700. I just wish I remembered who I sold it to. It had to be someone on here.

My Grandmother (Who grew up in the Great Depression), used to save old calendars. Because they would be good again in 28 years. I found this out when I ask her why she had a calendar from 1958 up in 1986. I really should write a book with all of the money saving things she would do. There where...

Nice. I was at the Apple store today have the hard drive replaced on my work MBP. While I was waiting for the repair I was looking at the 13" Air. It was nice and with the SSD it is very snappy. I didn't realize the Air had a 1440x900 display. That is nice.

If you decide to sell let me know. I am planning to catch a Canucks game this fall. I wonder what customs would say trying to bing a Q700 back into the US? :lol:

Wow I can't believe that they are still that expensive. I used to have a 1.5GHz 15" Powerbook G4. It was a pretty good machine. I gave it to friend a few years ago. He still uses it.

I miss my Q700. The worst part that that I for the life of me can't remember what I did with it. I'm thinking that I sold it to someone on here.

Woah a 120GB SSD for $140. The prices have really dropped. Might be time to pick up one.

Got the system running last night before I left for vacation. Unrelated to *BSD but the first USB stick I tried to install to did not work. I've had pretty poor lucking booting from USB flash drives. I'd say only about 50% of the drives I have tried with work.

A sed joke, I love it. :lol: I loath using optical media to install systems. I much prefer to use netboot or USB media. However there is not a nice USB install image for OpenBSD. I tired unetbootin, but it did not work. I found a real easy method. I created a VM in VMware fusion and...

Yeah Theo de Raadt can be an ass at times. That is for sure. NetBSD is an option also. Think I'll download it and take it for a spin.

Yeah you're right. I need to think think this over. I thinking of moving cross country. So it is not like I need to be getting more stuff right now.

For the past week I have been experimenting with OpenBSD. I really like it. It is what Linux used to be. I like that the Install CD with everything is 233MB, compared to the CentOS 6 netinstall CD which is 237MB. I think I am going to am going to move my DNS and DHCP servers over to OpenBSD. I...

I would suggest looking for some of the documents for the Color Classic "Takky" upgrade. Most of the links I have are dead, but I recall seeing a pinout for the motherboard edge connector. ANother option if you pull the analog board and edge connector out of the case, you should be able to...
