Is that in OS X or OS 9 or both? How long term are you talking about? 

Good eye! That is one weird collection of stuff to sell as a lot

Well darn. I'm just using the forum's built-in uploader and it still displays for me for some reason. Here, I've put it on imgur: https://imgur.com/a/FUEH0gk It gets worse at the end of the clip.

No ideas on this one? I noticed that it had the old squirrel cage style fan (which is really is quite loud). Somewhere I heard that these fans could potentially cause screen interference, but I don't know if it's related. I'm kind of stumped about where to start diagnosing this since I don't...

(I posted this to the Vintage Mac subreddit, but I think it's appropriate here. And I can post more photos.) I got this PowerMac G5 locally for $50. It didn’t have a hard disk, but the guy seemed to think that it was otherwise okay. After getting it home, the musty smell inside made it pretty...

I'm not sure it makes a huge difference, but I would avoid the liquid cooled ones since they seem to have issues.

I just got in another Mac SE and it’s got a bit of a weird problem. The screen will periodically flicker and get larger horizontally by about a cm. Supposedly it was working perfectly before I got it, but it wasn’t packaged very well by the seller and I’m thinking that something may have gotten...

What was the problem with the SD cards?

As projects go this one wasn't very hard at all -- I finished everything in a couple of hours. But I've had this Pismo PowerBook since it was new, and I used it a lot even after I had moved on to a 12" PowerBook G4 as my main machine, so it was very good to see it come back to life. I think this...

I guess we'll see. I did preemptively copy anything from the drive that looked remotely interesting. But I do hope that it keeps working, because it is much quieter than the hard disk in the other SE I just got!

I should probably preface this by saying that I am very much a beginner when it comes to compact Macs. I had basically never even used one before a couple of weeks ago (having started as a Mac user with a PowerMac 9600 tower), and I certainly had never disassembled or serviced one. But I've...

For some reason I got the vintage computer collecting bug recently and have bought a few different systems in the last several weeks. This is probably the one that I was most excited about, though. I have always loved the design of the early PowerBooks, but didn't actually buy a Mac until 1997...
