Not to mention the fact that it's not so great for the environment.... I wonder how modern plastics will fare 25-30 years from now? Something I find interesting is that plastics from 50-80 years ago (vinyl records, for example), are about as flexible and solid as the day they were pressed...

I came back here to say that Cory5412 actually still exists! He's made his first post in almost a year, and explained that it was due to life things beyond his control, basically (If interested, his post has all the details*). So, is this a turning point, where we'll see the site pulled back...

Confirmed! c

@mac27 We were recently discussing the software packets for Rev. A-D iMacs, weren't we? Alas, you're probably right, and I second your encouragement. Anyone who's a member there and has been relatively active (especially since the Crash of Summer '21) should save, at the least, their own...

Shoot. Has anyone managed to back up anything from there since the last outage? It looks like it might be getting dangerously close to disappearing permanently, despite what things to the contrary the admins say. c

@jmacz Nice to see you over here! I'm expanding my territory a bit, as you can see. After the last outage interrupted an important conversation, I decided it might be a good idea to diversify. So you'll start seeing more of me here hopefully :) c EDIT: Hey! I can do this here!! Come back...

They're OK if you accept them for what they are, but they cannot compete with modern trackpads. Beware fakes! They're everywhere! Finding a genuine 68040 is quite difficult, from what I've read, and many so-called 66/33 '040s with FPUs are actually fraudulently remarked 25/50 68LC040s. Many...

How timely! This thread is a few weeks old, but it just happens that I finally got my NuPower 167 back from Europe this past weekend, after 6 long years! If there's any information from it that might be useful to document (which can't be found in those photos), please let me know. c

Well, the other forum is back online, so I was able to get in touch with him. I don't know how much longer it will exist at this rate. The problems caused by neglect are beginning to show more overtly. c

Yeah, it's back. But for how long I can't say. With that in mind, it's probably about time I start moving some of my activity over here. I'm feeling less inclined to contribute anything if it's going to get lost or become inaccessible due to bit rot caused by the admins' negligence. c

The other forum seems to be offline, and I was in midst of an important conversation with Daniël from The Netherlands. So, if you are here, please PM me here so we can continue! Thanks! c

That's good! c

I concur with @Kai Robinson : recap time! I'm not looking forward to when my iMac G5 does that. As it is, it needs a new LCD (multicolored lines everywhere!) c

Hey there! How've you been? Making good progress on the clone SE logic board, I hope? c

First Apple: Enhanced Apple //e (acquired sometime around 2013-2014?) First Mac: Rev. C Tangerine iMac G3 (bought new very late 1998-early 1999) Favorite Mac: Too many to list Strengths: Worrying Weaknesses: Food, organizing my collection, coming up with strengths... Mod Rating: Irrelevant to...

Well, I'm not an A+ folk, but I have occasionally thought about becoming one, but - aside from the fairly high cost, even with a voucher - when they stopped being perpetual (take it once and it's good for life), that kind of turned me off, because I don't really want to have to retest or do...

My first post at TinkerDifferent! I'd formally introduce myself, but since most of you probably know me from 68k MLA already, a simple hello would be enough, I think :) Anyway, I was fortunate to get a functional original cable to replace the one that had torn in the backlit Portable I bought...
