    USB Mouse for iBook?

    I am generally speaking a fan of logitech gaming mice because of high sensitivity, comparative quality, and very long cords. While mine do not aesthetically match the white snow plastics of that era mac, Logitech does have some very nice $30-50 wireless usb dongle mice (like a g305 for example)...

    Next Station Turbo Repair

    Same. No one in my local mac/retro pc group has one either unfortunately. A Next Cube would be legit. Nice work.

    Ultimate Bolognese Sauce

    I absolutely adore French cuisine. My initial (90's) professional culinary education's focus was of the French discipline ie: Careme, Escoffier brigade etc. You see that influence all over European cuisines.

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    That is a great idea. Off to the pool right now but will investigate this idea later in the day. That is quite industrial/masculine, so unsure if the better half will approve but I personally like the idea. I did get the electrical socket/switch covers on - opted for a brushed aluminum to match...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Quick update - I finished the tile. I like how it looks & am a fan of keeping everything neutral - shows off the counter top wood grain. So while completing the tile job I realized that the light over the sink is not perfectly centered lol. Uhhhhhh SO, if I cannot find an a-symmetric light...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I don't have one at the moment that I can photo but did start with one (I think wifey has it in her office). If I can dig it out, I will attach it. So the tile will go to the ceiling above the sink. I am puting two magnetic strips to hold/display my nice kitchen knives. Over the stainless prep...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Actually I’m using the cut out from the butcher block counter which has great contrast against a stainless prep table from my local restaurant supply. Being a chef/food service businessman for 25+ years, I have an affinity for stainless - easy to clean & wears like iron w/o the rust. I actually...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Finally got to the subway tile backsplash. This isn’t a terribly bad job but is slow going and very easy to make a huge mess, so having tarps taped off and all your meez in place is key to completing each section with relative speed and cleanly. In the past I’ve used tile adhesive that you...

    How were the PowerBook 1xx bags?

    Great idea for a tutorial thread. If it were me, I'd mash it up with a creative mid 80's thrash metal rocker theme because sewing in 2022 is totally metal \m/ \m/

    iMac G5 The ultimate Retro Gaming PC

    Suuure, It’s your kids Powermac G5 gaming station 🙂 I did similar with a 17” white intel iMac for my boys. Granted, it was more to transition them off my actual retro consoles and onto various retro 8bit & 16bit console emus. + it looks cool in their room. Of course my wife looks at me sideways...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    I can confirm this. I picked one up for a tenner a few years back as not working and this was the issue. Pulled it apart and re soldered the jack and all was well- easy, straight forward fix.

    Installing SSD in first gen. G5 (dual 2.0 GHz) - not booting

    Man, that is wild. Thank you for puting the data set together. Odd thing is that I have Netac 128gb drives in my pmg4 quicksilver & PMG5 a1117 running Sorbet & 10.5.8. How random that it does not work in your a1047 or the others you noted. I would have guessed otherwise. I should buy more of...

    Satanic Mac Club T-Shirt

    WTH. I go to buy a shirt and there are no fatty sizes? What sort of fat shaming hipster nonsense is this? and to think I was going to wear your shirt to the donut shop. Whatevs

    Satanic Mac Club T-Shirt

    I think Drake misspelled it. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be little satanimacs jumping out of a B&W of DOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

    Installing SSD in first gen. G5 (dual 2.0 GHz) - not booting

    Is your G5 the A1047 PCIX model? With the SATA SSD, maybe a compatibility issue or perhaps the SSD is bad? Sounds like the port works ok with a spinner on the end but when you stick the SSD on, it gets grumpy. I'd test the SSD in another box and see if it boots fine into the restored image of...

    New G4 Cube picked up as part of package deal with Studio CRT (ADC)

    I think I would have left mine broken just for ease of access :) Trying to get that thing off without breaking a tab seems like an almost impossible feat but I can see per wottles reply that you might be able to fish a piece of wire around the clip and then pull back on it enough to release it...
