That's typical behaviour when the PRAM battery's dead.

My 400Mhz graphite came with the kiddie keyboard and puck mouse... which were eventually replaced. It's still a good little machine and I'd say $25 is well worth it. Runs Tiger just fine, too.

After careful deliberation and having allowed several days for cajoling and bribery, I've arbitrarily picked the winners' names out of a hat... winners will receive a splendid commemorative RetroChallenge T-shirt and an equally splendid RC mouse pad – though what any true retrocomputist would...

Consider it done!

I have no idea why you're getting that, it's working as expected from here... Anyway, I've changed the link on the RC page just to be safe.

That's right, geeks... everyone's favourite open-ended, semi-competitive retrocomputing free-for-all is just around the corner. Do you have what it takes to go head-to-head with the hardest-core RetroGeeks in the whole wide world? Me neither, but I do have a bit of time to kill in July... Those...

I have a couple of strategies that seem to work: 1) Set your goals so low that success is guaranteed. 2) Set your goals so high that success is impossible and then adjust your definition of success to include whatever small steps you did accomplish. ;-)

If sound quality is a concern you'd be better off starting with uncompressed audio files... resampling mp3 files will tend to exaggerate compression artefacts.

Now you're reviewing your own publication... have you no shame?

It's okay... that's the Apple II equivalent of killing a bear with a jack-knife – you'll be able to impress the heck out of people with that story for years to come ;-)

I can say with some degree of certainty that we won't be doing paper reprints – it's just too labour intensive to print off one or two copies at a time. Number 2 is coming along nicely (in spite of wgoodf's pessimism – my chaotic workflow and inconsistent demands are going to kill him) and...

Why not just switch the key caps? Presumably you don't have to look at them if you're touch typing...

Same could be said for pretty much the entire 68K line, yet here we are ;-)

Here's another idea: build a card that replaces the HDD with a CF or SD card, wifi and bluetooth... and then send me two of them for testing purposes ;-) There are cards like that being developed for the Apple II, so doing something similar on a 68K should be a cakewalk (says the guy with no...

I don't mean to unnecessarily steer this discussion back on topic, but it's worth noting that most decent surge protectors have a ground indicator built-in... might be a worthwhile investment.

All of my Duos have suffered from keyboard issues... though mostly a slow death rather than everything going at once. So I'd guess it's more likely a connection problem as H3NRY suggest rather than just the inherent crappiness of the Duo keyboard. They may not be the lightest thing going, but I...

It's fully functional, I believe... How old is your PB, anyway? The only versions still available from the developer are PPC, so the 68K version may well be free/abandonware by now.

I'd like to be the first to complain that having the new smilies buried behind the "View more smilies" link makes it far too much work to use the new smilies! I predict 68kmla membership will drop by 90% as a result of this! Also, why can't we have an iPhone smiley? :) :( :wink: :-p :-/...

True, but there's nothing in the 68kmla rules about the abolition of private ownership and redistribution of resources – that's the People's Liberation Army... down the hall; second door on the left. ;-)

SyncTerm is worth checking out for OS X, but if you're committed to Classic then I guess ZTerm would be the best choice. If you're using it regularly then paying the $20 shareware seems reasonable... or you can just take your time evaluating it ;-)
