    Run a Color Classic without an analog board or tube?

    Closest I can imagine is "yet to be determined"... There are crt oscilloscopes from the early 1920's that still work, just as just about every crt I "have ever met" still worked when they were trashed. The crt worked. Imagine how many crt's have been scrapped because ONE. SINGLE. $0.10 capacitor...

    Components. They're everywhere!

    I'm not organized at all, hence the need for as many drawers and some kind of unified sorting method for at least the smallest stuff. Otherwise it would soon end up as a big pile of everything in the middle of the floor. :ROFLMAO:

    Components. They're everywhere!

    Excuse the mess on the floor, we're redoing the upstairs hall way and needed a place to temporarily store stuff.

    Components. They're everywhere!

    And so I have to find a reasonable way to store them. Resistors, diodes, ICs... all sorts of crap that you might need and that's handy to have at...well, at hand. So I built this: 10 drawers that each can contain anywhere from 60 to 300 of these little buggers, depending on size: So all in...

    Xserve1,1 gives me the nope, nopity nope treatment

    You'd almost suspect I had asked it on a date or something. I feel rejected! ... *Hrm* Anyway, I got my XServe 1.1 2x 3.0GHZ 2006 Xserve home yesterday, after a month or so of waiting so what better way to kill a few hours than to start it up and see what's what? I starts right up, but since...

    Is still Hotline a thing?

    I installed Hotline on my G5 1.8, but I can't connect to macintoshgarden.org or misfire.applefritter.com. They're both timing out for me. I get in to other hotline servers though, so the client is working...

    Is still Hotline a thing?

    I... I don't believe it. But I guess I have to, I am looking at it!

    Is still Hotline a thing?

    If I remember correctly, Hotline was the "predecessor" to gnutella or some such. Not in use anymore as far as I can tell.

    Well, this is gonna suck....

    .. my "new" DIY fume extractor, that is... This is an old fume extractor from... well, it's from a hair salon, ok? The boom is spring loaded and holds the weight up well, even after 20+ years of use. Folded up: Neatly tucked away, I think. It came with a 5-speed fan box that I need to...

    Dumpster diving is fun

    So, here it is , starting up in all its DOS glory And as I mentioned I got two of these: One seems to be working fine, and the other I've taken apart to see if I can fix the faulty drive(s). Interesting construction on these LaCie disks, and the drives themselves seem to be somewhat...

    Definitely "Other": Wallas 3000D diesel heater

    That would be great. I have a Canon printer/scanner here but the stupid thing refuses to let me scan while connected to my Airport Express... "No scan! Only print!" ... Maybe I can USB connect it to my PMG5 and scan using some old software from there :)
