Well, they are used to some extent as the Super key in GNOME and KDE (and possibly in other X11 GUI environments). It's used for other functionality, although I've only seen it myself in terms of Compiz effects. I only wish I could take out the Microsoft Windows trademarked logo from those keys...

Oh bummer man. I'd hate to see my Quadra 650 to bite the dust in such a way.....'twould make me sad. :'( Have you tried checking the SCSI cables along with any termination on the drives? Capacitors as well, maybe?

Thank you. Don't forget to tip your waitress, but make sure she lands gently. ;) That is true, but remember that the Prophet 600 was the first analog synth to have MIDI. Unfortunately, it was also had stability issues compared to other synths of the time. Anyway, back to the topic. I have...

I was going to post that my favorite keyboard as being the EML ElectroComp 101 synth along with my Kawai K4 and Yamaha S08, but I then realized this was about computer keyboards.... ...Umm.....doh! :lol:

Almost looks like a bad Photoshop job. :?: EDIT: I wonder...could it possible be a glare screen of some sort on the front of the Classic? Or maybe some sort of touch screen? Just throwing out ideas here...

I don't understand the point of posting this, especially when Apple makes the full 7.5.3 and update to 7.5.5 available on its own website without resorting to torrents. :?:

As far as I have read, the only difference between the Centris 650 and the Quadra 650 (aside from the CPU speed) was the name. The IIvx was an 030 I believe. The IIvx, Centris 650, and Quadra 650 shared the same case design.

I do agree with you. I was just making a funny at the time. :p Still, even the first-gen Intel Mac Pros and iMacs tend to be quite pricey compared to the G5 Macs. But yes, if Classic is a must then a G5 would probably be best. Then again, a late-model G4 Power Mac would serve you just as...

Me thinks someone missed out on the subtlety seminar... :p

I tried to see if Mr. Clean Magic Eraser would take it off as I know it does great with permanent markers (was able to remove a marker nick that my youngest did to the LCD of my iMac G5 with ease), but it wouldn't remove the permanent marker....probably because it had been marked when it was new...

8-o :O xx( :p Nice find! I have an eMate 300 that I picked up from a school a couple of years ago. Love the thing, but the only thing that irks me is the black marker that was used on the back of the LCD display. Thankfully the markings have faded some and they seem to blend in with...

Very, very nice (and I would say enviable :p ) liberation! Enjoy them fully. :)

I saw go with the Intel Mac. As mentioned by others, the G5 Macs do have reliability problems. The iMac G5s were all affected by the capacitor plague, despite Apple's repair extension program claiming that it's only the 1st-gen and some 2nd-gen models. Mine was actually not in the list of...

Well, you could run the "newer" versions of NeXTSTEP. I hear it's called "Mac OS X." ;) }:) :lol:

Yes, it is a bit steep. I remember that same feeling when I installed NetBSD 3.1 on my Quadra 650. With all my years of experience in GNU/Linux (especially Slackware), I was a bit overwhelmed at how much you still had to do back then. I had followed Matthew Theobald's tutorial at that time...

I've already mentioned what I run in the first page, but it's due for an update. Ubuntu 8.10 was working fabulously on my work laptop (Dell Latitude D630), except for the fact that it wouldn't connect to the enterprise WPA2 config that I've set up for wireless at one of the schools I work for...

If I may, the Quadra 650 is a great all-around Quadra. Mine has yet to fail me in any way in terms of performance.

You know, I was thinking the same thing right after I posted my post, MacMan. I'm wondering if this is only temporary as the default since the forum was just upgraded today. I wonder how much more flexible phpBB3 is when it comes to theming. I'd definitely love to see a more "System 6/7" look...

Welcome! Though you might not have a genuine classic Mac in your arsenal, you can play around with some emulators. Mini vMac is a great one to start with.

Welcome back, 68KMLA! Love the new look (especially the logo), but as others mentioned, it will take a bit to get used to. That said, I welcome the change. :)
