    I find that the newer style silver & white Apple USB keyboard looks great with the old silver and white G5 iMac. Found a used one at a thrift shop, but a lot of the media keys and other functions don't work. Wondering if anyone has had success getting the special function, volume, and media keys...

    Project request - Duo battery case 3d print

    Hi there. I'm no good with 3d printing or CAD (or even taking measurements for that matter). But if YOU are, would you be interested in designing a Duo battery case for AA or AAA batteries? Has anyone already done this? It might make a good project for anyone around here with a youtube channel...
