    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    What app will allow me to display a graphic FULL SCREEN that works on a Mac SE or Plus (4MB of RAM & 68000 CPU)? Graphic Converter 1.7 won't work and neither will JPEGView 3. SuperPaint won't do it either. Same for Deneba Canvas 3.5. I am talking about full screen with NO MENUBAR -- just...

    FileMaker Pro IWP (database publishing on the web)

    Work related question today. Since I am talking about "vintage" software for Macs, I felt it only reasonable to post my query on TinkerDifferent! :-) Many years ago, my employer paid a web programmer to build a mySQL database for us, such that we could put our car security related vehicle...

    SPEAKER REPLACEMENT for mid-2015 15" MacBook Pro

    My mid-2015 15" MBP Retina is now considered a very low end Mac, but it's still my daily driver. My left speaker has been bad for about a year, and recently I had enough and decided to swap it out. I replaced the other speaker too since you have to teardown the whole machine to replace...

    Speedometer: Merge record files?

    Speedometer experts, perhaps the obvious is eluding me, but how can I easily MERGE separate Results files?

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    Clockometer v2.0.3

    I'm rather surprised I'm the first person to ever make a Macintosh Garden request! Oh well, it must start with someone, right? The Garden currently has versions 1.7 and 1.9 of Clockometer, but Archive.org shows there was a newer version 2.0.3 too...

    Kay Koba converts an LC575 Back Panel for the Color Classic

    This to me is nothing short of fantastic, and I wish to humbly thank @Kay K.M.Mods for so graciously having done the conversion while filming, which is not easy to do. If you are as impressed with his skills as I am, please be sure to let him know what you think!

    Recapping the LC575 "Mystic" motherboard for the Color Classic

    Since it's Thanksgiving in the US today, I should express my thanks for Panasonic's low-ESR OS-CON capacitors. They're the ideal choice when recapping of the LC575 "Mystic" motherboard, especially when you upgrade the CPU and/or overclock. Enjoy that turkey, friends! 🦃

    Is the AMTECH 559 PLUNGER botched?

    I've been using MG Chemicals flux, with built-in syringe and plunger. It has been great. But with so many people constantly raving about AMTECH 559, I decided to give that a try. Sadly, only the Chinese knock-off "559" is sold here in Japan that I can see, so I purchased 559 from Amazon USA...
