Cool! First LegoMac I haven't seen from the 'Fritter, which is ALWAYS a good thing.

COOL!!!
Once I tried to convince my parents to get me a Duo from Sun Remarketing (yeah.. bad idea huh?) so that I could dissect it and put it back together somewhat backwards in a case of LEGOs.....

An EMACHINE?????? What do you mean an EMACHINE?????? Anyone with half a brain knows that a Duo is better than an EMACHINE!

it was just a comparison to note how overpriced the Duo was... (and the eMachine)

Either way

I was NOT about to get an eMachine at that time... If they even existed yet but i'm sure it was the ORIGINAl eMachine with the 266MHz Cyrix M6-2 or whatever...

Who DIDN'T want a B&W G3? Those were sweet machines back in the day! I just LOVED it's case. After a while the B&W case makes the G4 case look dull and boring...but then again it's probbaly because i haven't seen a B&W IRL for ages.

.ME remembers the ppc emulation thread....

I like USB hard drives

Bring back the JAZZ and the SyQyest (thingies)

I wanted one of those Castlewood ORB thingies... USB, IDE and SCSI 2.2 GB cartriges were like only $30 each


that was when a 4 GB HDD was $200

good deal considering one of those was more than my whole HDD back then (first 7300 owning)

I don't know... it was like... Castlewood systems or something....

I should look into that because IIRC there was a firewireversion sometime soon or something... I'd gladly get a few of those for all my macs if they still existed and were cheap...

2.2 GB!!!!!
