Hello! I go by vivi and I'm an avid computer fan, especially of late '90s to mid '00s Apple. I've been a semi-active collector since last year (and far less active since 2020, when I got an iPod Mini second generation from my mom) and at the moment have a heavy gravitation towards PowerPC/early Intel, with some iPod stuffs for good measure.
Aside from Applestuffs, I'm also a massive fan of 2nd-generation console gaming, and have the beginnings of a hardware collection in that field as well (currently an Atari VCS/2600 and a Fairchild VES "Channel F", first model). I also have a fascination with mid '00s "Wintel" stuffs, and at some point plan on getting a WinXP or WinVista machine for some lightweight work.
Admittedly I'm not very tech-savvy, but I've been slowly learning and plan on getting an at least adequate knowledge when it comes to repair/mod-work, but either way I apologise if I get stuff wrong or show an absurd level of lack of knowledge on the subject of repair.
Outside of the main topics of this forum, I am an independent multimedia artist, mainly working in the fields of music and graphic design, with a heavy leaning in netart and sample culture. As well, while I am currently living in Minneapolis, I was born in Philadelphia and spent most of my life around the Philly tri-state area, and the Twin Cities have only since the beginning of last year been the place I can call home. I hope to have fun and informative discussions with the rest of y'all during my times on these forums!
