Retro: Apple Extended Keyboard II or IBM Model M Modern: Das Keyboard Professional. There is simply no other.

You're not harming anyone by downloading old software, no. But at the same time, illegal is still illegal. Its a bit like how I can't drive out into the country, find a long straight stretch of road and put the pedal to the metal. I'm out in the middle of nowhere, in perfect conditions...

Its beautiful! :O

I was really quite lucky...my first computer was actually a 68k - my LCIII! :) (the one in my avatar) That was really the machine that got me interested in computers...lots of good memories of that machine. :)

*says in his best Keanu Reeves voice* Arizona Wildcats.... (i'm sorry - I saw that and immediately thought of that scene in the movie "Speed")

I wouldn't be so quick to say that...while it wasn't a true 1xx series, the 190 beats it in just about every single way. Choice of mono or colour FSTN in stock form, upgradable to a TFT from a 5300, doesn't require an adaptor made of pure unobtanium to upgrade the RAM, ADB port, the ability to...

Another vote for the Classic. Really though, the best time to get Compacts for free was 10 years ago, when everyone was throwing them out. Mac 128k, 512k/e, Plus, SE, SE/30, Classic II....they're all, for the most part, being recognised as the collectables that they are and are either being held...

Maybe sell them either here, or seperately on eBay. Or give them away here. As for the G3, it will take 8.1 minimum, hence why your 7.1 floppy didn't work, I bet if you put an 8.1 -> 10.2 disc in it'd boot straight up.

MacBook heels? Meh - I like my Macs with FEETS! :D

I'm pretty sure they were - our own Dana had one for a number of years, furthermore - back when I was in high school I did work experience at an AASP, and we had a Quadra 900/950 come in that had had a WGS9150 logic board upgrade. Either way...nice score. The WGS9150's never been a common...

No, not unless you have your profile set to public.

Worse still...is when they "run out" of ink when they still have some left...some are even half full when they "run out"!

It should make a boot chime, but no beeps, a "bong" sound is the Mac equivalent to the beep that a PC makes when it passes the POST.

My guess is that that would be the original Apple Colour OneScanner. There was the Apple OneScanner (greyscale), the Apple Colour OneScanner, and then the few that followed with individual model numbers.

Yep, I'd say that there's something up with the CD-ROM drive. Try another disc or drive if you can. Also, is the OS 9 CD a real one or a burnt copy? Just wondering - I've had trouble booting old Macs from CD-Rs in the past, especially if they're more than a couple of years old. Also, its not...

I can confirm that the answer is "no". I've tried my Rev. D with a Macintosh Colour Display, and it didn't give me an image. As mentioned before however, VGA Multisync displays work fine, and even Multisync Apple displays with the old-style DB15 connector just plug straight in. During Summer I...

Yep, I still have all mine. Still watch the staff videos on occasion. And I still think the best one by far, was "Its a Wonderful Mac" :D

Yep, in fact here's the Grassroots, the MacAddict Forum threads that started it all. I miss MacAddict. Back when it was MacAddict and it was Freakin' Awesome! MacLife is Blech!

Eventually, it will die...lets face it - these machines were never known for their outstanding display components. However its hard to say exactly how long it will last...like any other vintage hardware, it could die tomorrow, or you could get another 20 years out of it.

They came with the black Apple Pro Mouse and Apple Pro Keyboard - the white peripherals didn't come out until the iMac G4.
