    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Oh boy, that is righteous. I gotta build me some of that. Something like that would exist in Red Foreman's garage. Love it.

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    Man that is a lot of dough when I see alot of interest but zero guarantee that you will recoup that cost. It is awesome that you have saved these machines and want to provide them at a fair price but I have a hard time with the notion that you'll have to invest another 800 bones for folks to...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    That is a nice idea to install on top, a larger sacrificial desktop - protects the actual unit and gives you more space. I am a fan of L shape benches/desks (I have two). Corner storage by itself can be tough. Since you've bought the bench and are feeling cramped with the compact mac on there...

    Adding the Mac Mini G4 to the collection 😁

    Makes sense to me. I think it would be a fun read.

    Adding the Mac Mini G4 to the collection 😁

    Indeed. I really like trayloader imacg3s for OS8.6-9.2.2. I have OS9 on a dual 1ghz QS w/ 22" ACD that really flies but something about using it on a 233mhz g3 through a curved CRT that feels incredibly nostalgic and appropriate. Anyhow to answer your initial question, yeah, I'd love to have a...

    Adding the Mac Mini G4 to the collection 😁

    Target disk mode. Most of the time, my mini g4 lives on the end of one of my floating book shelves. There's a 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 image on it that I used to TDM onto powerpc ibook/powerbooks as I'd get them. Those have really dried up over the past few years, so it just hangs out on my shelf mostly.

    Adding the Mac Mini G4 to the collection 😁

    They're a handy ppc TDM machine to have around. If I could find a C2duo model, I'd have matching book ends for my book shelf :)

    Saw these black steel shelves at Costco. They remind me of the shelves mac84 Steve installed in his basement. These things look indestructible. Not cheap & could be too industrial for Missus Muon but heck these would last forever I think.

    Looks like the BROR would mesh pretty seamlessly into your existing desk set up and look pretty great. I dont think I would look much farther than that unless BROR is not budget friendly. Anyhow, my workstation is in my garage, away from little hands with plenty of storage and pegboard for tools...

    Extra points if you play Zena, Warrior Princess reruns. :geek:

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    Full disclosure - at first glance of your saw, the first image that popped into my head was Hannibal Lecter fabricating lunch. Tenderloin of human, anyone? :D

    I really like those travel bags as well. Very cool piece of kit. Nice machine (y)

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    I rarely toast anything other than various breads I make ie: sandwich, brioche, Challah etc. in my Dualit. If you're referring to something like a Pillsbury Toaster struedel , no I dont often make sweets anymore as I try to limit highly refined sugars (lol refined AP white flour for breads ... I...

    I am not a topic nazi, so by all means, please share. Mods could think otherwise of course, but I say do it and ask for permission later.

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    I just fixed my Dualit four slice toaster which is a favorite appliance of mine. I've had it for about 15 years at this point with continuous use through that time. I replaced its Mi7 switch which finally burnt out. $40 bucks from GB and it's back together and toasting great. In a world of throw...

    Picked up an Apple Newton eMate 300! 😃

    Sure would be cool if there was an upgrade path to updating the screen to a higher quality color screen. These sure are a neat part of Apple history.

    TinkerDifferent - Gamer Tags & Usernames

    Yeah I am surprised how slowly this is filling up or how few gamers (old or new) there are on TD. Not much time right now to enjoy new titles (an all time fav of mine are the HL series games) as my boys are very young but I figure as they get older, there will be more shared time to game (or...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I agree and I think that can be done. Again for $400+ that expectation is not out of line. I agree with you on the benefits for plexi, but we're not talking about a $20-30 piece of commercial wall art, so I think it is fair to expect glass and proper shipping to preserve it. Really, for that...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I really like the design/breakout concept behind these (and the minimalist frame) but I agree that for that price, there should be zero issues. The generic verbiage & dust would be a big turn off for me when spending $400+ USD. Not having the exact part names is just lazy to me. Through that...
