Thanks; I'll look into it.

It was $95 total, which seems reasonable to me considering that the cells alone cost half that much, and it's a tedious job. They had to use glue to get the battery to stay together after recelling, but it looks good. It makes me wonder how many times I can get away with repeating the process on...

For reasons already mentioned by Cory5412, I have difficulty considering machines running older versions of Mac OS X to be "retro" anything, and I don't find the idea of using it to be particularly challenging or interesting, but I have been putting some thought lately into what is and isn't...

I'm going to respond here in two parts. First I'll go after the OP and describe what I can accomplish on a classic Mac OS machine (more specifically a 68K running System 7) and what I can't. I am probably about as good a candidate as any for this exercise because I don't use streaming media...
