    Macs and Museums. How would you display them, and which models should be there.

    Oh to be clear, I was really annoyed at museum of illusion. its everything I don’t want to be. :). i have big plans, but plans are like the weather, liable to change at a moments notice.

    That’s awesome. So you guys have helped a lot. I’ve got a better idea of where I need to look in terms of Mac models to pick up (the Apple II is a tough find here in Austria, but I have seen a few). And I’m also more certain about the approach I want to take in regard to how best to present old...

    iMac G4 Appreciation Thread

    Yup. he claimed it had just ‘stopped working’. When I got the machine home, I booted it up and found a copy of Apple’s hardware test in the cd drive.

    iMac G4 Appreciation Thread

    This Is Linzey. She's my 700 MHz G4. She was the second machine I bought to add to my then fledgling Mac collection. She was also the first machine that needed repair. I got her for €80 and all that was wrong was that someone had tried to install windows on there! a little disk utility fun...
