As a youngster I remember reading "Build Your Own Macintosh and Save a Bundle" and day dreaming about having my own Computer instead of having to share the family computer. Where I could do whatever i want with it. Another book I liked from that period was The Mac Bathroom Reader by Owen W...

yeah. i was just sharing a memory from 20 years ago for fun. would be cool to meet another person on there anyways nowadays.

even back when it was new i couldn't play on servers. as soon as i spawned into a UT server. i was killed. and my killer just bunny hopped away. didn't even get a chance to run. it was not fun... ( i later learned that person prolly was just camping spawn points) lol

I ended up getting sick the day i was planing on traveling to kfest. So I ended up NOT going. I didn't test positive. but i'm pretty sure it was covid because the symptoms seem to match up with it. Heard they had a bad case of covid at this conf.

Yeah. kickstarter is funny. some projects attach some other service that lets people donate more money after a project has been funded through kickstarter....

When I was in my more heavy collecting phase 7 or so years ago. I could often find compact macs with keyboard and mice with them. Now it seems like they never have keyboards and mice..... anecdotally speaking...

is it bad form to ask(ping) @Mac84 and @Action Retro directly?

I think part of it was that a lot of them was sold with the mac plus mouse. that is just a wild assumption i'm making. but when the inventory was sold to a 3rd party to sale teh remaining stock. i think they just sold the "Macitnosh XL's" with the Mac plus style mice. So @JustG i would try to...

So apple had their event. New phone, watch. blah blah blah. thats not exciting. what is exciting is the Mac SE/30 they had in the background for the iphone pro segment. it MIGHT be a SE. its pretty blurry too me. but it still looks like the se/30 front. ... unlike prior apple events. i...

congrats! a few things.... getting one one of those serial to wifi adapters could be fun. They will let you dial into BBS's that are online. so using modem software, you tell the adapter to connect to your wifi network and then you can telnet into a BBS. there are a few retro BBS's around...

related but slightly off topic. It is Andy Hertzfeld apologizing for using the bits above 24 when creating the OS. Which created a pattern for other developers to follow. Its a pretty good post that talks about decisions one makes that you don't always fully know the consequences. (in this...

thanks so much for this writeup. those of us in this group buy had a small taste of what you were going through. But for the most part you kept the complexity of the logistics hidden from us. I appreciate knowing how hard a project like this can be. But also, that it CAN be done. thats great !

i would be surprised if we get disagreement on car interfaces. Touch screens in cars are pretty bad. I just want to say I like Apple's new hardware and software. some things I don't like. but in general I like the work they are doing. Really the bits i didn't like was like the 2015-2019 era...

I know somebody (via kfest) who uses his Apple IIgs as his only computer. (maybe he has a cell phone idk) But like at home, the only computer he has is his apple IIgs. and he's used it sense it first came out. ... so its doable. for me, i fear maybe yes. I can learn the new things and will...

i would also like to make clear that i totally get this position. Learning new skills is hard work. it takes time and energy to do it. And none of us have an unlimited amount of that. We all have to pick our battles on what new things we should spend trying to learn. It is an individual's...

@Webecedarian has stated they went to use the computer as a typewriter. So going off that, i would also suggest to stay away from modern computers. In this case i'm including computers that can run windows 10 like the dell computers that have been mentioned so far in this thread. (basically...

Nice, a CRT. monitors are def harder to ship. so not great via ebay and the like.

@Mu0n He doesn't currently have a computer with USB. in the other thread he is asking for help on getting a computer that HAS usb.
