    It would come down to how one defines COOL, but I know cool when I see it, and even though I ceased all public posting at the MLA starting in July 2021 and while I don't sneak around in the forum over there either, when I become aware of a significant post about a new product announcement by a...

    I’m terribly sorry to hear that. And you can know I feel that from the heart based upon what I wrote earlier in this thread. I’m going be repeating myself yet again, but I don’t want my previous words to be overlooked… Our board is comprised of people “elected“ from the community, who also...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    Oh I agree that there is a distinction. I wrote all that only because @NiziMac also lives in Japan, and extreme adherence to RULES (spoken or otherwise) is dominant in the culture here. It was my way of saying, "Let's ease up on beating that Legal Beagle drum." :)

    And just when you thought I was done talking... 🤪 Seriously, I really cannot emphasize enough the importance of our Board. I know full well there are people from that other forum lurking in this thread when that forum goes down, so I wish to drive that point home especially for them to...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    Striving to obey mankind's endlessly growing rules, laws and regulations is important to avoid trouble in life, but here lies the irony. Had there been no illegitimate BLUE BOXES, Apple would never had existed and you and I wouldn't be talking about logos today as a result: “Experiences like...

    @Trash80toG4 I respect you and your option greatly. Please know that. And thank you for making time to express your thoughts in detail here. I read everything you wrote and appreciate your having shared that. My own opinion is that smilies and emojis have so little to do with the problem that...

    Great to hear that. And so... What is the technical reason I am not having the same great experience, being hit with reCAPCHA? Because I am located in Japan? As mention in my earlier post here, on the search results page, rather than see any search results, it tells me that there is "unusual...

    It's been around since 2002 while Tinker Different was founded in the summer of 2021. A lot of forum veterans (whatever that forum may be) tend to remain on their preferred forum regardless of new forums popping up. So that would go a long way to explain more traffic over there (despite the...

    @ClassicHasClass & @Jazzzny When either of you use the latest version on a G4 and when you type MacintoshGarden into the search field, do you get reCAPCHA, and if so, does it hang for you like it does for me on my G4 Cube running 10.4.11 Tiger?

    While I'd love to see folks use our vastly more reliable forum instead, I do understand why people like the other forum while also liking ours. It might be good to tell your friends and associates to become member of TinkerDifferent so that when the inevitable happens to that other forum, you...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    This guy shows the benefits of realism when it comes to reproductions… Suffice it to say, nobody would want a rainbow X logo on that. We want the genuine Apple logo and authentic decals. It makes the reproduction much more special.

    When you use the search field like I did (see my previous post) do you have the same reCAPCHA problem?

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    Based on what Apple legal did to 1-bit Rainbow (Pico Mac Nano), I would guess they did something. Because reproducing a Mac WELL involves accuracy and that goes down to the logos. Do I personally want a rainbow X on a small Mac reproduction or the original rainbow Apple logo? ANSWER: the...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    Knowing they are a Chinese company, it's probably unlikely they had that reasoning, but it's something I might have done if I were in their shoes. :-) Apple is pretty aggressive about silly things. Remember the guy in the UK who created the tiny Macintosh 128K? Apple Legal told him he could...

    I confirmed just now that the 7450/7447 build of 26.2.2 works on a G4 Cube with Sonnet 1.7GHz 7447A running OS X Tiger 10.4.11. Great! But the main problem I have is that if you use the Start Page and type Wikipedia into the Search field and hit return, you are given an "unusual traffic"...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    I think it’s quite obvious they simply said to themselves, “with our original stickers, we were just a sitting duck for Apple lawyers to come and get us.“ So they changed the sticker to that sitting duck and the rest of history. Such thinking isn’t without historical president. Remember the...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    LOL. I read it as MAC LOCK, not MA CLOCK. Funny. Yes, I've seen that gizmo before. Never knew about a sticker though. But it raises the question why the sticker is an X. In any case, the gap in the colors could easily be explained as a Chinese manufacturer saying something like, "See. We...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    I'm afraid we need to start from the beginning... What is Maclock? And why do they have a sticker?

    Color Classic 640x480 mod sense line issues

    @lilmul123 To begin, your entire Analog Board needs to be recapped. You made no mention about that, so I need to make mention of it. Not likely to cause a switching between 60 and 67Hz, but still a very important thing that must be done to avoid unexplainable problems. Next, your photos show...

    I confirmed today that the ATI Rage 128 Pro used in the G4 Cube has 16MB of VRAM.
