Had never heard of the Tojan before today. Very cool! As a former (short time) Westy owner, the idea of air conditioning sounds very appealing :)

I recently came into an OLPC XO-1. I'm really trying hard to like it, but it's so un-intuitive to use, I can't imagine handing to to someone who's fairly "computer illiterate" and expecting them to be successful with it. Not to mention that it's dog slow at doing anything you can figure out. If...

That's actually not a bad idea! Guess that's why you're the famous Internet Mac guru and I'm....not. :)

I just came into a nice Quadra 605, and the case tabs that hold on the top cover have not broken...yet! I know this is a problem with many of this generation of Mac. Has anyone had success with reinforcing these tabs before they break to avoid the inevitable? I was thinking of roughing up the...

A fun little pick up thanks to an eagle-eyed friend at a recycle center. Works perfectly, though I’ll get after the caps…

Hmm - was not aware there was a IIgs/IIe optimized version...

I have one that was handed on to me but doesn't have the video out cable or a modded composite cable. Need to make one, but that's "on the list" and who knows when I will ever get there.... Once that's done, who knows what I will actually do with it, except folks tell me that Parsec is a fairly...

I've never seen a "deposit" like that before! (thankfully)

Do you mean the machines like the TAM that use the square battery? If so, this is good to know!

This came in as a donation today, from the original owner. It's beautiful. @This Does Not Compute shot some video I'm sure he'll put up on YT later. He says he has more good stuff to share!

It was a real thing back in the day. I remember seeing ads for it in mags like Macuser and Macworld.

Does it work after reassembly? If yes, then no problem! :)

That looks great. I've got a "bruised" CC emblem and now I have a way to address it!

If you just work the keys in question (bang on them continuously like a wild monkey) for a while they should start to work again. You can pull the caps and use a drop of alcohol or contact cleaner, but I've only found that to be rarely necessary. They should come back their own after a while...

Very nice!

Go search on eBay for "prison TV". You will find many options. I picked one up for my clear Apple IIe.

I wish - 2014 Subaru Legacy! Sitting behind a 1948 International Harvester 😀

This one doesn't work - yet. Severely needs caps. Big bad tuna smell. Hope things aren't too corroded in there.

Well, you get one LaserWriter to work and then this happens... wife was unimpressed!

You don't _have_ to replace the RIFAs, but chances are they will go soon - if it hasn't already. Other than making a stinky mess, it shouldn't take out anything important inside the power supply or the machine in general. Machine should still run with it in a failed state. If it were me, I'd...
