With the LCII I have been working on to give to someone, I had to leave it plugged in for a while and then it would finally work for me. I'm going to be doing some more work on it now that I've picked up my old IBM B&W monitor from work.

Guru Meditation for you, sir. :p

Not if I'm feeling frisky. ;)

That's exactly where my parents got it too!!!! ROFL! I have to say as rudimentary as that system was, I did love it and wish it hadn't crapped out. If I ever find one again, I'm definitely buying it (I still have a few of the carts that go with it! LOL).

OK, maybe a cuddle....I don't spoon so soon. :p

Sure...just don't expect me to spoon. :p

Definitely not. I've done it as a kid on a Commodore CBM (don't remember if it was a 8032 or 8096....probably the former) in Catholic grade school and when I had a Mattel Aquarius. I even had the chintzy thermal printer that was available for the Aquarius. So nyah! :p EDIT: I remember it...

Folks, I don't think you can get any geekier than this. Retro reverse engineering: Reconstructing Apple I BASIC from a Cassette Tape If my wife ever found out that I found this SO sexy, she'd divorce me in a heartbeat and take the kids. :lol:

That's exactly what I thought. Maybe we should let them know?

That is true about the price without a plan, but Jobs made it sound like it was SO much cheaper than the previous model during the WWDC keynote.

This seems like a typo if you ask me, but who knows.... http://lowendmac.com/ppc/performa-6360.html is it just me? :?:

I was always under the impression that the 6360 was the desktop model, while the 6400 and 6500 were both towers.

It's $199 and $299 with a 2 year contract. And when you total out the amount you pay with the contract, it ends up being a lot more. Consider that by itself, it's priced at $599 and $699. So no, it's not that cheap. It's the plan that's subsidizing most the cost of the phone.

If you add "non-free" to the repositories in /etc/apt/source.list, I believe you can.

I noticed that when I looked at your signature in trying to determine more about your Beige G3, but when I posted that particular comment I didn't...I just assumed you were talking about an iMac G3. :p

Put Debian Etch on that with XFCE and you'll be plenty happy. I did an installation of Debian Etch on a REALLY old Compaq Presario just for kicks. The specs? AMD K6 at 300 MHz 64 MB RAM S3 Virge video 4 GB hard drive. I did a basic installation and then added XFCE along with Xorg. I was...

The Xorg open source driver has always been slower than the proprietary Windows ATI driver, part of the reason Xorg developers keep clamoring for more support from the video card manufacturers. Instead, ATI (and nVIDIA) would rather make a faster proprietary driver for one platform than help...

Well, glxgears does show you whether you are getting decent hardware acceleration or not. I've used it to see how the card is rendering 3D and if it's being done by software instead of the hardware. According to the site, your card should do hardware rendering with the open source driver. Not...

Really? I thought my 9600XT card from Sapphire Tech wasn't supported well either until I found this page to help me tweak my particular card. http://www.free3d.org Just check for your chipset and set the xorg.conf file to those settings.

Unknown_K provides the reason for this not working on Macs in his post above yours. :)
