Hello all, Long time no post/upload - but thought I'd share some mid to late 2000s productivity! Firstly a Palm m515 PDA (bought for all of £4 - sadly I've got no idea if it works or even does anything as sadly it didn't come with cables. And secondly a BlackBerry Curve 8520! I remember...

Hello all, It seems I’m breeding PowerBook G3s at the moment. The one on the left has shot hinges. But works. Paid all of £8 on eBay for it thanks for eBay and Nectar vouchers. Rocking a 233MHz CPU and it had 32MB RAM but I quickly upgraded that to 256MB. It’s missing some plates and batteries...

Hello all, not really a post with an issue but more of an observation of my PowerBook G3 PDQ’s ability to send PC Cards flying when ejecting them. If this was a Warp Core ejection Star Fleet Enginneering would be impressed!

Well it seems I’ve inherited a 27” Mid 2010 iMac with the infamous AMD 5xxx GPU which is failing and prevents anything like High Sierra or GPU demanding apps from running. Got the machine for free which is nice. So the big question is what GPU would be best with minimum headaches to...

Hi all, I've got an iMac G3 in Grape (DV edition) which I do rather like but I'm always worried about running it for a long time due to it's age and lack of active cooling. The machine has had new thermal paste applied to the CPU and been dusted out but I would like to keep it cool and running...

Hi all, Looking for some ideas/solutions for this lovely 12" iBook G4 I got recently. The machine works well but ever since I've had it and even before I got it from a friend it never has shut correctly. It'll latch shut but the smallest tap and it'll spring back open. The LCD (1st Photo)...

Hello all! My names Haydon and I'm based in the UK - been using Macs/PCs since I could reach a keyboard and have worked with technology and taught it ever since. Enjoying the fact that time (and eBay) has made it possible for me to finally collect and own all the machines I could dream of...
