    How do you pronounce “LIDO?”

    I'm with @fehervaria. As evidence I reference the aformentiond "Lido Shuffle" by Boz Scaggs, as well as on "The Love Boat", shuffleboard was always announced as being on the "lee doe" deck, not the "liddo" deck or "lie doe" deck :) I realize I'm dating myself with this, but whatever...

    Source for brightness pot for SE analog board?

    If you find a good solution - or if anyone has otherwise munged up boards and can spare them - I could use a couple as well! @polpo should get first dibs, though!

    My favorite thing about Lisa is the saving of the machine state. There's no "shutdown" command. Right in mid document, you just hit the power button, and the state of your desktop is saved and the machine shuts off. When you power up the next time, you get right back to the same desktop - any...

    Lisa Frame for 2nd board set swapping

    I may have one; can't remember if I passed it on to a friend or not. If I do, I'll let you know. Feel free to bug me about it if you don't hear in a couple days :)

    I received mine yesterday, and they look great! I will get around to plugging some in this weekend.

    Not only vintage Computers

    Had never heard of the Tojan before today. Very cool! As a former (short time) Westy owner, the idea of air conditioning sounds very appealing :)

    Member Bio - Eric Miller (_SDGOL_)

    I recently came into an OLPC XO-1. I'm really trying hard to like it, but it's so un-intuitive to use, I can't imagine handing to to someone who's fairly "computer illiterate" and expecting them to be successful with it. Not to mention that it's dog slow at doing anything you can figure out. If...

    Reinforce case tabs

    That's actually not a bad idea! Guess that's why you're the famous Internet Mac guru and I'm....not. :)

    Reinforce case tabs

    I just came into a nice Quadra 605, and the case tabs that hold on the top cover have not broken...yet! I know this is a problem with many of this generation of Mac. Has anyone had success with reinforcing these tabs before they break to avoid the inevitable? I was thinking of roughing up the...

    Q605

    A fun little pick up thanks to an eagle-eyed friend at a recycle center. Works perfectly, though I’ll get after the caps…

    TI-99/4A

    I have one that was handed on to me but doesn't have the video out cable or a modded composite cable. Need to make one, but that's "on the list" and who knows when I will ever get there.... Once that's done, who knows what I will actually do with it, except folks tell me that Parsec is a fairly...

    I've never seen a "deposit" like that before! (thankfully)

    Macintosh II & IIx replacement battery holders

    Do you mean the machines like the TAM that use the square battery? If so, this is good to know!

    Most excellent donation at Free Geek Twin Cities today!

    This came in as a donation today, from the original owner. It's beautiful. @This Does Not Compute shot some video I'm sure he'll put up on YT later. He says he has more good stuff to share!

    Macchimey?

    It was a real thing back in the day. I remember seeing ads for it in mags like Macuser and Macworld.

    Does it work after reassembly? If yes, then no problem! :)
