    Wacom Tablet

    I had two SCSI hand scanners a few years ago. Those were very weird devices.

    Wacom Tablet

    Wacom pens are generally not all that interchangeable, so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

    External Drives

    I'm not really concerned, I won't be using OSX with it much at all. Thanks for the info though, kind of a shame to think OSX makes so many invisible files.

    Dual MDD from Surplus

    Basically when state entities such as universities, schools, offices, etc get finished with things like desks, chairs, projectors, computers, and so on they enter the surplus system where they can either go to a central state warehouse or the entities themselves (in this case a local...

    Dual MDD from Surplus

    As of the last few months, my mom's laptop has been dying. Nothing surprising considering it's a $500 toshiba budget machine. Regardless, this morning (thursday morning, the day surplus is open) she wakes me up saying something along the lines of "It's thursday, get dressed and lets go to...

    External Drives

    I came across two external drives today, first is a USB2 CD-RW from goodwill for $6. Normally they have no computer stuff, but I found it in the bottom of a bin with the original cables. It's really speedy and seems to read and write discs with no problem, and the case is rubberized. The other...

    An open letter to the 68kMLA community...

    Though then one has to define what exactly is "abuse" of the time limit. The system is fine as it is. Leave it be.

    iMac G3 Snow

    Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty little iMac.

    iMac G3 Snow

    Thanks all. Yeah - I'm pretty pleased with the situation. I upped it to 512MB RAM and have installed and am currently updating Jaguar. I have tiger discs around somewhere but considering the use of this thing I'm not bothered.

    iMac G3 Snow

    I'm typically not a huge fan of AIO machines. Back in 2001 my father decided he wanted to get a new mac, and decided on an iMac G3/600, which came in Snow and Graphite. I voted for snow, my sister and parents voted graphite. After we all got separate machines the iMac turned into my main...

    Clamshell iBook G3

    Definitely 9.2.2. OSX on 800x600 is horrifying to use.

    Cheese?

    It was a trolling post made by a member who was evading a ban. Such posts get deleted.

    Non-Mac, but apparently within guidelines...

    Very cool, blade 1000s are seemingly really spiffy UNIX workstations.

    Unconquest: Closet space!

    Well... I mean... if you're gonna leave stuff out on the curb (i.e. trash) what do you expect is gonna happen? If you really "cared" about it you wouldn't have trashed it, imo. :p

    Lookee What I Just Got ....

    Looks pretty nice, not too terribly yellowed.. though for $110 I'd want more than a 30MB HDD and 8MB RAM. :p

    OS8.1 in the Apple Store!

    Pair of 840avs

    You could always install netbsd for yourself... it's pretty easy to do on a 68k mac, if a little boring. I've put it on my Centris 650 a handful of times.

    1000 members

    It's too bad most of those members never post. One has to wonder why they register in the first place...

    Mibbit

    Well, it's unfortunate that you were kicked without warning, but it's similarly unfortunate that innocent people get thrown in jail. Similarly, I don't necessarially agree with the "family friendly" policy 100%, but guess what - as MacJunky said - it's not my channel, so I don't get to make up...

    Mibbit

    There are alot of things people can do to get banned, most usually it's either repeated use of foul language (warnings are always given prior to kicks and bans, some users ignore them), harassment in channel (which leads to harassment in PM which is a big no-no), and constantly starting fights...
