They read like a current day evolved version of TOTC corn plastics like the stuff folks use to make biodegradable trash bags for composting etc. Some neat stuff out there. The water soluble stuff is a synthetic polymer but is not technically a plastic I guess. It dissolves in water and came...

I'm no plastics expert but I thought this was an easy & informative read on plastics/polymer behavior. https://www.pslc.ws/mactest/mech.htm#:~:text=In%20short%2C%20rigid%20plastics%20tend,they%20tend%20not%20to%20break. From what I found on the interwebs, the brittle nature of plastic is a...

Pair positioning is: slot 4 slot 3 slot 2 slot 1 ------- slot 1 slot 2 slot 3 slot 4 You install and remove the ram in pairs starting with slot 1.

Hit the affected ram slots with a hot hair dryer for a few minutes, then boot up and see if the full ram is detected. If they are, likely its not the ram and is instead the slot that would need to be reflowed. IIRC the ram has to be in pairs, so you can remove the affected slot/pair and see if...

That would be fun for a lot of folks I think. I wonder if the “museum” could be part of an existing museum; more as an exhibit. That would certainly eliminate a lot of the initial cost and effort allowing one to focus on the curated content vs administrative tasks. I also saw this video last...

Agree. His basement is beautifully designed. His wife let him turn their dining room into an Applestore styled display space as well. He did a nice series of vids on the tables he built for it etc. looks really good. I haven’t seen a video from him recently which is a bummer as his channel was...

I think it depends on the story you want to tell. I think for most novices, chronological groupings makes sense but for others the conversation could be centered around cpu and the transitions between 68k, ppc, Intel etc. Conversely it could be a conversation around the evolution of design...

I have had quite a few crts that would make a sound/whine at start up and then stop after a few seconds. I assumed it was the flyback but that is a sweeping generalization I know without actually opening it up and testing it.

I’d try and plastic weld the cracks back together. Fun weekend project.

I am unsure who on the board is point for the forum/website but if you know, loop them in and see if it can be worked in or discussed at the next meeting. I mean cars still have reverse. Who can deny this logic. :geek:

Didn't you hear? reading chronologically backwards is the new forwards. :D I've not found this function either. It seems like it should live under filters (top right) but is absent.

I've never seen imac g4 interior packaging in person. Thanks for sharing :D

Makes sense, however this model only supported mirroring, so Im unable to extend the desktop either way with the 17" unit I was considering. Bummer! :)

The imac in question is a 17" 800mhz, so mirror only. I was thinking extended DT was an option but not yet. Oh well, dems da breaks :D

What I wish I could do is use my ADC cinema displays with the imacg4. I have multiple a1006's but it converts to DVI and when I slap a DVI to VGA adapter on it, I connect that to the video display port to vga adapter I have coming out the back end of the imacg4 and it outputs garbage...

First thing that I noticed was the invalid node error - when I see node kind/structure type errors, that often points to the hard drive where there is an issue with its ability to catalog & retrieve files. You could try repairing the install in disk utility or maybe disk warrior if you have it...

Here’s the 17” I just realized I forgot to reconnect the cdrom drive to the pata cable from when I had this one open last lol. Oops.😅

Here’s the 15 that supervises.

Ugh, I see little hands in the backseat. Hope everyone is ok & everything works out for you (health, insurance etc.) nice Mac!
