    What is this card? It says Tapestry Echo, but I can't find anything.

    Says APPLE SPKR in the upper left. "Tapestry Echo" lower left. It has a little Echo speaker that goes with it and connects with the wire you see on the right.

    I want to try to limit or eliminate my cloud reliance. Not completely for streaming media, and I won't probably try to stream 4K video hosted on it or attached storage or anything, but for back ups of business and work related documents, photos, videos mostly from phone, audio (Lossless, ALAC...

    Choosing a CPU upgrade for my Beige G3 266

    I have decided that I want my beige G3 desktop to be one of my flagship vintage machines. I just love the ugly old form factor, and the incorporation (first time for me) of color and CD-ROM. And that era was when I committed as a solo lawyer, to the Mac environment for my office, though I was...

    Well, this came home with me. I couldn’t help it. I am so rebuilding a collection. Haven’t hooked it up or turned it on yet. I guess we’ll see. Before I do I will open it up and check the battery at at least.

    Got this for 50 bucks from a guy who was given it from a gentleman who used to have a Mac museum somewhere here in the Boise area. This was his working second of this model. Looks pretty clean, but it is freezing. It also keeps saying that the MPEG extension of QuickTime 6.02 want lunch. And...

    Found this first Gen Apple LCD display for cheap. Anyone have one?

    Going to try it out with a period correct (1998) Beige G3 Power PC I just picked up. Got it for only 20 bucks at the local computer recycler. Looks like people try to sell them for silly amounts on line. Anyway, we'll see how it works when the machine gets here. I may sell it, seeing what I...
