I have a miserable rotten cold. I'm taking sudafed. Sudafed has mild psychotropic effects on me and futzes with my sleep cycles.For the past 3 nights I have been having some seriously wierd dreams involving 68k pizza boxen and Springdale, Nevada. (Springdale nevada is a cluster of 5 or so ratty single wide mobile homes about 20 minutes outside Beatty, Nevada. It would actually be kind of pretty, but for the fact that around these homes, filling the adjacent little tiny green meadows, are decades worth of broken down cars, motorcycles, and equipment of any kind -- dishwashers, washing machines, driers, water coolers, water heaters.) For some reason I must get to Springdale with the LC 475 I have tucked under my arm. 68K's liberated: 4

Don't worry...i'm always having weird 68k dreams....last night i dreamt that i found out that i could put a PB5xx series PC Card Cage into my PB145B, so i went to the Shop, and bought theirs. I got back to the dorm, put it in my 145B, as well as a PCMCIA ethernet card. All was going well, until i found out that the ethernet card i was trying to use was actually a CardBus card. I took the PC Card Cage and ethernet card back, and i woke up.-------------------------- "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" - Unkown Warrior maclover5

Hey, I've got an old LC-III + StyleWriter II that I (read my folks) purchased back in '91 for a small fortune. In '95 I officially inherited the piece, and followed thru' with 32MB RAM and a 256k VRAM SIMM (16bit colors). A SyQuest EzFlyer 230 soon followed, as did a 33.6kbps dial-up modem, and an Aiwa ACD-300 external CDD (this is a real kewl CDD, with an LCD screen, digital equalizers, ...). All this was stashed in the attic following my latest acquisition, an iBook. However, almost a year n half later, just out of sheer boredom, I reassembled the LC-III, and hey, my ol' trustworthy companion of the last 10 years, reassured me with the familiar startup smile. I suddenly realised what I'd missed out in the iBook... no longer did I have 3D themes (Kaleidoscope), nor animated icons (Kineticon), nor magnetic windows (Sloop Rudder), nor the bell n whistle sounds (Kaboom), nor the cute robber (UnderWare 2.0)... Just think about it... I had more fun with a 10 year old Mac, than the latest state of the art iBook. Newayz, its earned a permanent place on my desk, with Mac OS 7.6.1 & ClarisWorks 4.0 Is this liberation or what?

It's spreading - I dreamed of an LCIII I was continuously trying to brush the dust off, but it kept re-settling again just as thick as before. I must have been dusting for hours... dana Quadra 605 Obsessions

I had a simillar problem awaiting the arrival of my cube. I now refer to it as "Cube Fever" it's the closest thing I've had to a new computer, as in it hadn't been out of production for over years. I just tried to sleep through the days until it was ready to be collected in an atempt to make time go faster It was unbearable it probably lasted for 10 days or so in the end, my g/f found me particularly difficult to live through during that time. It couldn't say anything without mentioning "The Cube"

<Attempts to apply pseudo-Freudian dream analysis to dreams>I fear that the first instance of dreaming, taking an LC475 to somewhere full of scrap and old unwanted stuff might indicate something in your subconcious making you wan to rid yourself of it. Alternatively your depressed state may be seeing yourself surrounded by adversity and neglect with only your Mac as company. As for Dana, this might be a reflection of something in your life that might be frustrating you or becoming tiresomely repetative, perhaps somebody or something you can't get rid of or that won't leave you alone. As for me my most vivid memory is that under times of exam stress I used to have drams about all my teeth falling out. Apparently this is a sign of being very worried about a person or task - no crap Mr. Freud.... --
