Thanks!

What we can't control: I just want to add that a good focus is to figure out what you can control, what you can impact, and what you have no control over. Discord, etc. exists and people use it. Can't control the first part. MAYBE our actions can impact whether people prefer to use it or not...

Maybe something from iFixit?

I think anything I do right now and might report on would seem uneventful and mundane to the more experienced here. I am that guy who never really opened his computer before other than to may be install some extra RAM once or twice. So re-capping, replacing CPU'S, installing IDE or SCSI...

Is there a basic kit one can get for computer and electronics repair with the most likely Torx heads, good spludgers, other prying type tools, etc.? I think I saw an iFixit kit mentioned somewhere, but wondered if there was a suggested one to buy or a list of individual tools one typically...

Ok, sourced at a somewhat reasonable price a Buffalo G3 Accelerator 500MHz PowerPC750 1 MB L2 Cache card to install and try out. Just got it and will need a few days to get to installing it, and plan on researching doing that sort of thing first before risking breaking anything. It will be my...

Yeah, that is not me, I joined the other one about the same time as this one. But yeah, glad to see folks on both platforms.

Seems like it works better to communicate more locally like the local Boise area vintage club. Probably less so as an encyclopedia of knowledge and lasting discussion platform.

There you are! Was looking to see if you were here. Will DM on our stuff! Folks, this was one of the deals that got lost for a minute, that I was in the middle of when things went down.

I wanted to give shout outs to a couple folks in particular, and I know I am missing a few more. @Volvo242GT has given me helpful advice and help on both forums, and his presence here helped cement my wanting to hang around, @JDW has been super helpful here and on Youtube via...

Presuming I am still active the next time it comes around, as I am short several months now, I will consider it! Noob that I am, but I will grow.

Well, that's a fun idea! Now we need a Picard "Data, make it so." smiley!

Ok, understand your opinion. I still like fun smiley like options! Cheers! :alien::poop:;)

Hmm. I would disagree. I don't want to clog up a thread where someone is trying to scroll though and find something with a "Cool!" if I have nothing else really to add that propels the conversation. I like the fun little compact Mac smileys here. I would guess the difference in traffic is...

On that second point, I hear you. I tend to find that on all my vintage related or enthusiast related forums or forum-like experiences. Audio (Audiokarma, anyone? I have experienced that there), photography, music (as opposed to gear), skiing, waterskiing (WATERSKIING!!!! talk about some...

I am just getting started, and have no plan yet. But will look over what folks are doing and figure out what works for me. Too complicated and I won't use it. To easy and disposable and I will lose it. So will figure out something relatively simple that will work across most all my machines...

Subscribed to this now and will read and watch through. I have bought a bunch of MIDI stuff to use with my new and vintage Macs, and can make some of it work but mostly through trial and error and don't really know what I am doing yet, so this thread looks really useful. Thank you.

I should head that I like the logo here, and also like that I can figure out how to use the Dark Mode and like the look of the Dark Mode here. I really dislike the look (and effect on my eyes) of primary white background forums. Same. On a couple things. I was able to connect with one of...

Ok, makes sense

I am new to vintage mac forums and joined both, and post similar things in both places. from a noob’s perspective the other place seems a bit more active but I also love this place and its vibe. AND actually I was in the middle of two deals. Will have to see if I can find the folks over here.
