If PDFs are made available, I'll get one. Interested in the bootstrapping Macs article at the least. Best, John

I think these two last posts are spot on. There was definitely an unresolved itch to scratch with the IIcis, the Powerbook 180s, and the Powerbook 1400c I purchased. As I get on in life, I think that all you end up with are your prides and your regrets. Hopefully the stuff you're proud of is...

I don't have much but a "me too" on the scratching my head on the 128K pricing nonsense. I'm one of the "recent new collectors" that has been mentioned, and as such I'll shed some light on at least one data point of the new collector motivation and some observations fresh to the hobby. Why...

I was looking at that portrait display, too, and though I would like one, I would be worried about its survival and another thing, since I move a lot, weight and bulk is sorta prohibitive. But back in the day, big CRTs were truly lustworthy--I mean, a 1600x1200 screen in the early nineties...

A second 180 arrived today. This one was in similar shape to the first one, minus that the back door was missing and it looks like it broke off sometime in its lifetime because one of the small receivers for the door pin is broken. 12MB of RAM in this one, with the 240MB hard drive. This one...

Picked up a full set of PageMaker 4.0 for a pretty good price--now I know why I guess. If I don't have the registration codes for it, even though I have everything else, I pretty much have a set of docs and some 3.5" floppies that I can use for something else, huh? Best, John

No, of course you're right. Windex wipes is what I meant. Less harsh. Best, John

Received a PB180 today in exchange for $25. I was impressed by how nice it was. Hardly any apparent use at all from the look of the keys. No plastic degradation or anything. When I was opening the package in the garage I had my normal array of clorox wipes and my compressor fired up, but...

Of course that's spot on advice. Is purchasing a PDF file from a seller like this: http://www.smpcshop.com/LaserWriters-Printers-p-1-c-189.html standard practice for getting that document? Best, John

A little thread resurrection, but I'd rather not start a new thread when there's one already up. So, my question, seeing as how I have a Laserwriter 360 in good cosmetic shape but which when turned on blinks the green light at me for a while and then nothing, would be how should I check the...

At least that's what I want it to end up being. I got a bit of a bug lately and have been buying up IIcis from the eBay crapshoot service. I haven't been totally disappointed but I did get one box without a hard drive, a nice complete PageMaker 4.0 without registration code, and a seller...

I happened upon this thread and thought I would add my two cents. Hope this is useful and not a "me too" sort of deal. I have a IIci that I made out of two IIcis, and I was thinking the same thing--I would like to use say a native resolution 1280x1024 Sony model SDM-HS73 TFT LCD with it--it's...
