I've been into PowerComputing clones mainly, but that's mostly because I just happened to acquire one – a PowerBase 200 – way back in 2005. It was my only clone for years until I found a PowerTower Pro/225 a few years ago (I'm fairly sure it was pre-COVID). I've never really paid much...

Even worse! c

Well, maybe not zero, but it is indeed some infinitely small number. in 1991, about the time of the A/UX 3.0 release, Apple had announced a PPC-compatible release, referred to as A/UX 4.0, which would've been re-based on AIX (a variant of which shipped with the ANS). Of course A/UX 4 never saw...

Ah, I see. British slang strikes again? At any rate, the post makes sense now. I agree that it is indeed a very unpleasant sounding activity. Anyone is so inflicted is likely suffering from an excessive accumulation of said items, and are in need of serious help. c

I have a ton of stuff I'm sure you'd enjoy cramming your garage full with, but I'm on the wrong side of the wrong continent. Then there's all this sordid nonsense about tariffs and inflation, else I'd have it shipped to you! What does "chunder" mean? My dictionary came up empty and thought I...

Indeed! c

OK. Basically, I think a third column for post stats would be useful (something like, last post by $USER in $THREAD at $TIME), but I guess just an overall refinement of the look of the layout would be nice. Maybe make the fonts a point or two smaller, make the frame a bit wider (but not so...

The Lounge and Trading Post show up as empty with no explanation as to why. Perhaps it would be useful to add a message saying something to the effect of "this forum is only available by logging into the modern site." Make sense? Also, I know we're aiming for the lowest common denominator...

Indeed! It makes sense that prices for the newest RAM are being blown into outer space, but it would make no sense whatever for AI farms to demand vintage RAM! Especially as old as PC66/100/133! @Unknown_K's assessment makes more sense. c

Why is all RAM suddenly so expensive? c

That could work. So could some sort of proxy, but that can complicate stuff and potentially introduce extra security risks, so your proposed solution is probably cleaner and safer. I'm not a web design expert, though. Anyone have any other ideas? c

Absolutely! c

There are many, I'm sure, but one in particular I remember is the Williams-Sonoma Guide To Good Cooking, which again was bundled with early iMacs. Link: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/williams-sonoma-guide-good-cooking It appears there's also a PC version. I never knew that. c

Just a little hairsplitting here: ClarisWorks 5 was released shortly before the Claris subsidiary was reabsorbed back into Apple proper, so an update (5.0.3, I think) was released that rebranded it AppleWorks, and all subsequent releases (boxed and bundled with machines) were known as...

Ooo, Firewire networking on OS 9 is actually a thing? I thought that was only available in Mac OS X, and only fairly late versions at that (10.4 and up for sure have FW networking; not sure about 10.3 and earlier). c

I somehow ended up with two of them. One works, but the plastics got a bit banged up while in transit. The other doesn't work, but it has better (a relative term with almost 30 year old computer) plastics. I'd been meaning to swap the working innards into the better looking case, but never...

You're not the first, and you won't be the last.... :) c

I'm lucky, in that so far, none of my iMacs' inner bezels seem to be damaged. I'm sure it won't be too long before that changes, of course, so it's good to know there's a solution. c

Maybe the idea could be retooled as a versatile client that can integrate existing services into a single "dashboard" with a friendly Mac GUI? Maybe such a thing already exists? c

Oops, I misunderstood! Sorry! c
