Given that modern computers use LCDs, is there REALLY a point for screen-savers?? What am I missing?? :unsure:

When I bought my M3, I was dead set against getting a subscription with Adobe Photoshop. So, I got a copy of Affinity Photo. It's still early days, and I'm in more or less parroting mode. I'm slowly starting to understand the program; there is definitely a learning curve. But it's important to...

Hey folks, So, I'm reading that DiskWarrior isn't compatible with the M3. i'm looking for diagnostic/repair software that is suitable for my new M3 MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

Hey folks. I came across this listing on Facebook marketplace… 30/each bulk of 85 untested MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. https://www.facebook.com/share/qhRCvaP4mMR6nJoh/?mibextid=79PoIi

Hey folks...can anyone recommend a decent keyboard cover for the M3 MacBook Pro?

Well! THAT was an "oops", wasn't it?? 😝 😝 😝 😝

Well, this is a bit of a lesson that I want to pass along to people who want to purchase a Mac off of Apple's refurbished web page, and something I wasn't aware of. See, I thought that when I ordered my M3 MacBook Pro off of Apple's refurbished site, the price I saw listed, along with Apple...

Very interesting video. Let me know what you folks think. (Particularly Mr. Action Retro, Sean ;) )

Hey folks...so, I've been busy installing new software on my M3. I'd like to keep tabs on the internal temperature. What would be a good temperature sensor to install?

One thing about Affinity Photo...the lay-out of the tools is very different than in Photoshop, so that will take some getting used to. It's early days for me, obviously. The image was already blurred to begin with; I was trying to use some brushes as well as the brightness/contrast tool. And...

Due to certain things I needed to do online, I needed an upgrade. My regular workhorses are from 2011 and 2012. While they will continue to be used, of course-I had to get this M3 MacBook Pro. 18 gigs of RAM, 1 TB SSD. However, I absolutely refused to get the cloud versions of MS Office &...

I have to make a recommendation. I bought this Sangean radio at the Vintage Computer Festival East for $20. It was practically in new condition. I’ve seen this radio selling for $60-$70. It is FANTASTIC. For a radio its size, the sound is INCREDIBLY rich and deep, with a LOT of range. I’m...

Hey folks...so, I did a bulk download of old emails off my Gmail account. I can view them fine on my 2011 iMac using Thunderbird, but now I want to view them on the G4. The version of Thunderbird I have on the iMac won't work on the G4. What can I use? Thanks. Edited to add: I found a version...

I got there early, and it's a good thing I did. It was FAR too hot and humid, I'm getting up there in years and this type of weather doesn't do me any good. I picked up this nice Sangean radio for $20. It seems I pick up radios more than anything else at VCF; the last one I got was a weather...

Uhhhhh-huh. I'd sooner believe a chicken has teeth. :rolleyes: Is this an "out of the back of a truck" special?? :rolleyes: :cautious::mad:

Hey folks, Check out the link below. Is this the appropriate Airport Card for my G4 MDD? (It didn't come with one.)...

It's still a bit early, but the weather forecast for the Vintage Computer Federation Swap Meet in Wall Township New Jersey so far is this- Hot and humid, temperatures in the low 90s (32 C) with the chance of thunderstorms. The good thing is that the swap meet starts early, around 8 AM. Wall...

Hey folks...so, this is the first time I'm trying this. The drive was an 80 gig Maxtor external HD, and it bit the dust. I want to convert this to a 250 gig SSD external drive for my G4 MDD. What kind of adapter must I get to hook up the SSD?

Hey folks, So, I'm playing around with the G4 MDD. I'm coming across some odd little problems- 1) After getting the PSU back from repair and installing it in the G4, I booted it up once or twice-then didn't touch it for a week. When I booted the G4 up later, I got a blank screen. After doing...

Hey folks, So, I need to get a USB card for my G4 MDD. But given the age of this machine-should I look on eBay for used cards, or can I get a new card that might be outfitted with USB 3.0 but settle for the slower speeds? Or is the plug-in slot on the G4's motherboard only meant for older PCI...
