    Macintosh 128k, but...

    I'm sure it's not nearly as bad as trying to find a Lisa who's owner didn't take Apple up on the free Lisa 2 upgrade.

    PowerBook G4 5,2 - suddenly slow surfing!

    If it's simply networking, you can run a traceroute to see where the slowdown is. It could be as boring as a bad route at your provider.

    My Latest ...

    My conquests are so few a far these days but I fell into a Grape iMac with keyboard. Looks like I need the grape puck and the IO door, though. Don't even know if it works yet. Also picked up a VST SuperDisk drive and a DVD-ROM for PowerBook G3 for $3 each.

    Woo Hoooo! just bought a HAKKO 808!

    I hate to say "I told you so" but ... nah, I love saying it. Keep it clean and it will serve you well.

    I've done maybe five recaps on LCDs and it fixed two of them.

    the best web browser for 68kmacs

    Unless you're only accessing pages made prior to 2003, I'm unsure how snappy a 68k-powered browser is going to be.

    Powerbook 160 coming today!

    I've had LCDs that still exhibited the contrast issue even after recapping so I think there is more to it than the capacitors.

    Woo Hoooo! just bought a HAKKO 808!

    You run into issue when one of those layers is the ground layer. I've adopted a hold-then-rotate method when dealing with those. That and using a good amount of fresh solder to tin the desoldering gun.

    the best web browser for 68kmacs

    Seems to me that a 68k would be dead slow in processing anything modern. I don't even want to think of SSL encrypted connections.

    I remember seeing one of these at the local Apple reseller in the mid 80s.

    Mine already had the upgrade in it but I don't keep the AA batteries installed.
