Hi guys, is there a way to add background pictures to a compact mac: a utility or add on? i’m running 7.5.5 on my se/30. Basically its a bit cheesy but i’d like to the same backgrounds on all 3 of my vintage macs, i mocked up my idea in the below picture.  Trimmed picture in photoshop for the...

Thanks Bolle, i thought it would be futile otherwise others would have done so before. I’ll just have work with it. Neal

Ok guys as micron cards are either rarer than hens teeth or more expensive than the Cullinan diamond can you upgrade THE SE/30’s on board 64kb Video RAM, i.e could you replace it with say a 256kb or 512kb chip? I presume this 64kb chip is soldered on the motherboard somewhere, what chip is...

I use same as Jonny. My daughter works at a hair salon and gets me a generic 40% volume peroxide white cream. i have a uv lamp which i have used but sunshine works better. i have heard others having bad results with cling film but its worked perfectly for me with the neat cream. like I...

Hi Dog Cow, sorry to hoodwink this tread, yes i have networked and internet ready se/30, PowerPc and iMac on my home network all with sharing on and still can’t get them to see each other. That said ive never networked old macs so its probably me doing something stupid in my nievity? Any ideas...

I just paint on the peroxide cheam from the bottle and then cling film it in so it doesn’t dry out, then leave it outside for a 1-4 hrs depending on how sunny it is.  I’ve done 3 computers and a few a accessories now and not one has gone wrong or streaky. I do check every hour and rub it to make...

Thats defo an improvement 

Haha yes I thought it would need more, looks like its in great shape bar the colour so i think you got a good one :)

It may need 2 attempts to get it back, mine did but I believe you’re weather is better in us that here in the uk which helps when doing retro brite

Hi Dog Cow, is there any info on how you use file sharing on old macintoshs? As I’m wanting to share my se/30 with my PowerPc and g3 iMac which i have networked. neal

Is this any good radius for se/30 i would like 2 screens on my se/30? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223366492637 its missing bits i think 

It works a treat, i know mine had yellowed a lot and couldn’t believe the outcome.  Yes please post when done :)  

Are you retro brighting it Jonny? Apologies just saw you are after reading your post properly. It deserves it 

I agree with you, if anything they’re probably the best compact for nostalgia classic mac-ing its got a hhd, 1.44mb floppy, MacOS7.1 in rom and cheap to buy, making it easier to setup and just use than any other compact. If you dont want to mod your mac it makes perfect sense. I think the reason...

The classic may not be a great mac but it was the prettiest compact mac and the most iconic in appearance

I have no idea what a drexel is?
