Is he still mostly Wednesdays as far as availability? Definitely would be up for that!! I could bring a few Macs if you wanted a LAN party :)

Oh wow, I had forgotten about that little quirk. I've heard of the museum in New Ken but haven't been there yet. It could be an option for this. We did host David Pogue once at Carnegie Science Center (now Kamin Science Center). He was in the Omnimax theater (now the Rangos Giant Cinema) and...

Will do. I'm trying to think of where I put my Snooper floppy now. It doesn't Sad Mac at all, so I'm wondering if RAM is really the culprit or if it's something that's just an issue with the board itself.

@JDW I know, I was really shocked when it happened...punished for being helpful? For doing what a forum is supposed to do? @Kai Robinson I definitely will put my name in the hat if it happens!! @Certificate of Excellence I have a lot of ideas for the book and mostly just need to find some time...

Yes, I'd imagine me being here is a bit of an issue. There are so many good people on those forums, it's a shame it has to be brought down. As for archiving everything, what I'd love to see is for everything to be compiled into one place. I've actually long thought about writing a general...

I doubt it as well since wwthww sent me the rejection letter. Honestly that one stung harder than any job rejection did back before I was self employed full time.

Rather than risk trying to replace my screen with a compatible model, and to preserve the originality of my computer, I'm looking for someone who can repair a vinegar syndrome affected iBook G3 that I've owned since it was new. It developed the issue early last year and now has the distinct...

Weirdly enough, the original Mac version of Print Shop. I've read through probably every book written on the early Mac and not ONE of them mentions it. There are some early reviews in MacWorld of it, but that's about it. It's like the program never existed in the minds of journalists and...

Welp I wasn't picked for a moderator position. Maybe they're afraid I'll bring competence into the place? I've been there since 2006, pre-crash, already moderate two groups on Facebook, have run a business since 2011, and am willing to bet I was passed over because I don't run software update...

I have a Classic that's being a little temperamental. It was recapped a while ago (circa 2018-2019) and has a RAM card installed. It's worked fine for most of its life save for the clock not taking when it starts up (not a battery issue...it just won't tick past whatever you set it at)...

A few folks and I have talked about the possibility of doing this in Pittsburgh at some point. It's a nice happy medium between Chicago and New Jersey plus we have a lot of Mac folks who seem to be concentrated in the general area (Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh) and it wouldn't be too...

I submitted my exhibit details on June 2 when registration opened and plan to be back. Plus the Pirates and Cubs play at Wrigley on Friday before setup so I'll be coming in a day early this year to catch that before I set the computers up! I've had the lab there the past two years and look...

Having some major Personal LaserWriter NTR woes here!! First, the paper almost ALWAYS jams. I've tried thicker paper (i.e. resume paper) and it works a little better, but I just can't get this to feed nicely. Based on some feedback I've gotten, this is almost certainly the rollers going. I'm...

My Pittsburgh Classic Mac Lab will be exhibited on June 7, 2025 at the McCandless/Northern Allegheny Heritage Center, north of Downtown Pittsburgh on the edge of North Park. This will be open to the public. I'll know the details in a bit, as I'm awaiting some times and other details, but it...

We're a week away from VCF East and frankly, I'm counting down the days. I'll be there with the Pittsburgh Classic Mac Lab. I won't be getting in until very late on Friday night, so I'll be setting up Saturday morning but will be there the rest of the way. There will be networked Oregon Trail...
