I pulled my trusty BookKeepin' 2300c out of mothballs when all my other computers were temporarily belly-up.
It's a nice feelin', all warm-n-fuzzy even, to fire up a trusty companion of many years for backup. Most especially when a pair of more modern Macs are in the process of being upgraded or in the initial stages of setup. And even your almost brand new NetBook's OS is on the fritz (Windows XP H.E.3, if you can imagine such a thing! :
) and can't be booted from ANYTHING, but a generic ubuntu DVD into a live session . . .
. . . and you've spent HOURS & HOURS on the phone with HP Technical Disservice!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >
Enough ranting, it was a GREAT PLEASURE to slide PowerDuo into the DuoDock II, hear that familiar BZZZZT, press the ADB startup button on the Mac Converter box of the KVM setup, see the Happy Mac at 16" resolution pasted across the face of my 23" 1080p LCD and then navigate about her desktop with my wireless KBD-n-Mouse setup!
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
