    Hey all! I am glad the other place is back up, but I wanted to say how in this experience, I am coming to prefer this place, and hope the discussions here continue to grow and strengthen. 1. Dark mode and look. I, and my older eyes with too much screen time on them, prefer the design, look...

    Using Vintage Macs for Productivity and Document Drafting

    I will likely be in either a version of 8 or 9 on a G3 processor in my Beige G3, or Blue and White, or Kanga, or 603e chip if on my 3400c. Considering Office 98 or 2001, for forward capability. Or maybe 5.1a, based on a recommendation I just read, for work product and having 2001 on hand as an...

    For now, moving in the MS Word direction. Will explore the Clarisworks to Pages route as well down the road.

    Using Vintage Macs for Productivity and Document Drafting

    It’s truly a thing!! From back when I actually became a really good student by the time I started law school, I have scheduled and managed my day to take advantage of when my brain wanted to do certain things. Such as after classes and initial study, doing exercise or something physical when I...

    Using Vintage Macs for Productivity and Document Drafting

    Starting this thread to get feedback from the crew, and also share my research and experience, in using some of my recently acquired Macs for productive time drafting docs that can be shared via ethernet, or otherwise to my modern machines for finalizing and filing via things like eFiling for...

    Help me learn to build a backup/storage server out of a 2015 i5 iMac (now using 2014 Mac mini)

    Yeah, now I just need to figure out what storage I want to connect to it, some sort of NAS thing, or just some SSD.

    Help me learn to build a backup/storage server out of a 2015 i5 iMac (now using 2014 Mac mini)

    Ok, that sounds easier than I thought. Now I just will figure out my storage, and try to set it up.

    Help me learn to build a backup/storage server out of a 2015 i5 iMac (now using 2014 Mac mini)

    I thought about getting a 5,1 or something and see some on Facebook marketplace, but I also was reading that they consume a lot of energy and create a lot of heat and also was trying to use stuff that I have as much as possible. But thank you for those suggestions. I probably do have extra Apple...

    Help me learn to build a backup/storage server out of a 2015 i5 iMac (now using 2014 Mac mini)

    I want to try to limit or eliminate my cloud reliance. Not completely for streaming media, and I won't probably try to stream 4K video hosted on it or attached storage or anything, but for back ups of business and work related documents, photos, videos mostly from phone, audio (Lossless, ALAC...

    What I received lately, changes to collection, starting from Zed.

    Hi all! Relatively new guy here, joining only this last January, as I started to shop and acquire the beginnings of my vintage collection. Kinda went all out for a while, and now am slowing down and considering what stays and what goes long run. So the purpose of this thread, inspired by...

    Boise Area of Idaho - Meet up/exhibition 4-18-26 and new club: TVVCC.ORG

    PS, I will be exhibiting an Apple IIe collection, with various drives and peripherals, playing Oregon Trail, my SE/30 doing MIDI music stuff with a connected keyboard, and my Beige G3 playing Myst and various Launch CD-ROM mags focusing on the CD-ROM aspects by that point in time. I may also...

    Boise Area of Idaho - Meet up/exhibition 4-18-26 and new club: TVVCC.ORG

    Not ONLY Mac but Apple will be well represented. TVVCC.org which is fairly new, and replaces former defunct vintage computing clubs that included Apple, is full of some nice folks, and cool machines. I will be promoting this forum as well of course. And yes, they do have a discord. LOL! The...

    Basic tool kit for computer repair (not soldering tools)?

    Cool. I got the long Torx t15 from Amazon. and did get the iFixit more complete kit. I am personally trying to go eBay or other vendors instead, and they are available, but that is only my choice, and sometimes I cross that line. I am going to need to open up my working SE modded to SE/30 to...

    Basic tool kit for computer repair (not soldering tools)?

    Yeah, I bought some initial stuff at iFixit but stopped grabbing everything, as I thought I might be able to reuse some things and not buy new. I did get the magnetic mat thing, and will want to get a magnetic cup also. I am super bad about knocking cups of screws and things over when I work...
