    Starting tech meetups in your own area

    If your metro has a million people, I'd recommend putting feelers out on the local subreddit and Craigslist. That's how I scraped enough people together to start Albuquerque Retro Computers.

    Vintage Compact Macs in TV & Movies

    Not only does The Net have Macs, it has clones and possibly the best footage of the MacWorld floor from that year.

    Yet another dead(?) Power Mac 9600/300

    For what it's worth, my Tsunami 9600 always needed a "running start" no matter what media I used. Had to Power On > Chime > Power Off > Power On again and it would come up correctly.

    PC Compatibility Card freezing during Win 95 install

    I've tried a few more times since my last post. Each hanging around the same time towards the end of install. I'll try another 95 disk in the next week.

    PC Compatibility Card freezing during Win 95 install

    Hey all, I picked up a 12" Pc Compatibility Card a little while ago and I'm trying to install Win 95 on it. It'll install DOS 6.2.2 without issue from floppy, but any method I've tried to install 95 has failed. When trying to use an original CD, I get a "not High Sierra/ISO-9660" error. Using a...
