Joshing aside, I thoroughly enjoy the PowerPC challenges/Marchintosh each year. I first ran into these years back on the MacRumors PPC forum. Between all the fantastic content that is put out there, celebrating all the enthusiasts who maintain/update and create current software for these elderly...

Well the sciency folks all agree that PPC rules & 68k drools, so we all know how that will go 😄

Oh wow, you have some room to get that big girl up on a dolly (Like one of these $10 jobs) . I had mine set up that way so I didn’t bust a gut or scratch my floor when I had to get at the I/o. I sure miss my old crt (very, very similar to yours) but definitely don’t miss the 100# weight. That...

My parents had a few so I grew up with Trinitrons. In fact I kept my parents Trinitron from the 80's - it had the matching wood grain stand with smoked black/gray glass magnetic doors. With marriage came the great purge lol and away it all went along with a flat screen Sony Trinitron I was...

Now that 30” is begging for a friend. Get a second 30” if you have the space or maybe push one using dual-link DVI with your 3,1. That would be pretty cool. a 30" aluminum cinema display has always been on my bucket list. I would love love love one of those for my garage bench. I dont care if my...

Build a emu retro gaming console with it and give it to your grandkids. Let em stick Super Mario Bros. Metroid and Sonic the Hedgehog stickers all over it. They’d be the coolest kids on the block.

An adjustable speed knob would be neat. I also like the idea of keeping the original designs pass through but is not critical, The name is great. My perverse mind finds subtle humor in either parlance.

Welcome!

This is true. I recall moderating multiple gaming forums in the late 90s and it could get pretty rambunctious back then between individuals and clans just as it does now. The difference now that I perceive anyhow is how interconnected & digitized everything has become. An attack on an individual...

You run into it everywhere. I have experienced numerous attempts at censorship on a number of social platforms from macrumors to discord channels life macyak to facebarf to Youtube to others over the years. Whether it be vindictive users lashing out with weaponized victimhood culture when they...

Voyage Home is one of my favs & Bones is a personal favorite of mine. Loved the cameo on TNG & the hospital scene is epic. Karl Urban reprised the role really well I think. I get it being built around an episode concept, just a ST fan being obnoxious is all. I agree on the work spaces we create...

You'd think the TNG folks could've gotten more creative with something like bioengineered nano robots that would repair/regenerate the heart tissues through a hypospray or some other fantastical awesomeness but no, we get some goofy mechanical heart for Sexiest Man of the Year 1992. Surprisingly...

I can tell you that my wife finds what we do absolutely ridiculous lol. Now, me maintaining my daily drivers and her vdub, she sees pragmatic value there - time and money saved. Anyhow, I tinker with so many different things, I appreciate nice spaces to do work regardless of the discipline and...

Another one of my favorite TV/Movie garages is Clint Eastwoods garage in the Gran Torino. Very cool, pegboard garage. Subsequently both characters Red Forman and Walt Kowalski are retired Marines.

Oh boy, that is righteous. I gotta build me some of that. Something like that would exist in Red Foreman's garage. Love it.

Man that is a lot of dough when I see alot of interest but zero guarantee that you will recoup that cost. It is awesome that you have saved these machines and want to provide them at a fair price but I have a hard time with the notion that you'll have to invest another 800 bones for folks to...

That is a nice idea to install on top, a larger sacrificial desktop - protects the actual unit and gives you more space. I am a fan of L shape benches/desks (I have two). Corner storage by itself can be tough. Since you've bought the bench and are feeling cramped with the compact mac on there...

Makes sense to me. I think it would be a fun read.

Indeed. I really like trayloader imacg3s for OS8.6-9.2.2. I have OS9 on a dual 1ghz QS w/ 22" ACD that really flies but something about using it on a 233mhz g3 through a curved CRT that feels incredibly nostalgic and appropriate. Anyhow to answer your initial question, yeah, I'd love to have a...

Target disk mode. Most of the time, my mini g4 lives on the end of one of my floating book shelves. There's a 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 image on it that I used to TDM onto powerpc ibook/powerbooks as I'd get them. Those have really dried up over the past few years, so it just hangs out on my shelf mostly.
