Cross posting these thoughts over here, also posted in the 68kMIA thread, as a result of the discussion there. Hey all! I am glad the other place is back up, but I wanted to say how in this experience, I am coming to prefer this place, and hope the discussions here continue to grow and...

Starting this thread to get feedback from the crew, and also share my research and experience, in using some of my recently acquired Macs for productive time drafting docs that can be shared via ethernet, or otherwise to my modern machines for finalizing and filing via things like eFiling for...

I want to try to limit or eliminate my cloud reliance. Not completely for streaming media, and I won't probably try to stream 4K video hosted on it or attached storage or anything, but for back ups of business and work related documents, photos, videos mostly from phone, audio (Lossless, ALAC...

Hi all! Relatively new guy here, joining only this last January, as I started to shop and acquire the beginnings of my vintage collection. Kinda went all out for a while, and now am slowing down and considering what stays and what goes long run. So the purpose of this thread, inspired by...

Not ONLY Mac but Apple will be well represented. TVVCC.org which is fairly new, and replaces former defunct vintage computing clubs that included Apple, is full of some nice folks, and cool machines. I will be promoting this forum as well of course. And yes, they do have a discord. LOL! The...

Is there a basic kit one can get for computer and electronics repair with the most likely Torx heads, good spludgers, other prying type tools, etc.? I think I saw an iFixit kit mentioned somewhere, but wondered if there was a suggested one to buy or a list of individual tools one typically...

So, ... I ended up with a Performa 6360 nearly free ($25), along with a purchase of an Apple "Trinitron" CRT and another vintage computer a local seller was offloading very inexpensively before moving. )He even through in a 6116CD with a missing HD for free. I took it because the pizza box case...

Would love anyone's help and/or thoughts in planning out my Mac SE/30 Reloaded build. I purchased from a guy who didn’t’t need it his purple Reloaded board with these additional parts: (6) PLCC 20 sockets, (4) PLCC 68 sockets and (1) CPU socket, I have a NOS MC68030RC33B, 33MHz CPU, and I have...

I think I want my beige G3 desktop to be one of my flagship vintage machines. I just love the ugly old form factor, and the incorporation (first time for me) of color and CD-ROM. And that era was when I committed as a solo lawyer, to the Mac environment for my office, though I was using a '95...

Just finished watching the final final last night, and enjoyed it. I was trying not to be too critical of plot or whatever and just enjoy the characters I came to love over the course of the show. I was a bit older than they were in those years, being in college when the show started, and...

Found this for cheap at the Reuseum computer recycler in Boise that does STEM Education supported by their sales. Was interested in what they might have to start me off on my vintage frolic. found this thing. It turns out people ask a lot for these on eBay. I will use it with the Beige G3...

As I got started into considering vintage, found this monitor at the local computer and electronics recycler which also runs and supports with sales STEM programs in Boise. Seems like it sells, or is at least offered, for a lot as it was the first Apple LCD display. Anyhow, got that for 20...

Just getting into the vintage scene, after using Macs basically my whole life, and the life of that line too. Starting in 1984. I did an intro thread in the appropriate place also! :) Got this machine to start with. It has been recapped and upgraded as listed below. The SE?30 board was...

I am Steve T., living in Hailey, and Boise, Idaho. Found this place after I got the itch to start exploring the Macs of my younger days. I watched some vids on YouTube as I researched why I was considering vintage, what I might want to do, and how. Saw at least one member here who did a vid...
