This will be the first brand new Mac that I’ve purchased in 20-years. Granted it’s not for me as it’s a Christmas gift for the wife but it will be interesting to see their new M1 chips in action and the 4.5k Retina display.

I just hope she loves it, Apple made it incredibly difficult being back ordered. Anyone else have first hand experience with the new M1 Macs?

It's been a week or so, time to fire the Kanga up and try and finish this Photoshop project I've been working on.... the Bryce render finished after only 19 hours lol

It's self aware

Huh, what's this do

Here we go again.....

Hot Rods!

Fighting with a cranky iMac G3 - might be a long day!

Early AM Bryce rendering time on the PowerBook Kanga! Correct me if I’m wrong in that we tend take today’s available processing speeds completely for granted...

Spent the afternoon refurbing and testing Disk ][ drives... so easy to work on! Two not quite happy, new caps and IC's on the way. With these and a funky //c drive and a troubled Lobo Disk ][ clone, I'm drowning in 5.25" drives needing repair! *happy sounds*

I’ve been spending time with software instead of hardware recently. I’m preparing a detailed blog post on the history of a 30+ year game franchise. Even if no one reads it, I’m having fun.

Now that the Kanga has been successfully setup with its 8GB CF card, I’m forced down the path of reinstalling all the important software again. This will surely take all day... but it’s a beautiful day to do it!

Don’t forget to call me on the QuickTake help line, let’s get those photos converted to JPG!

Guys, I just need a Macintosh Performa 600, a StyleWriter II and a blank check. Life would be, well... more than grand, am I right?!

Both 1400c and now Kanga G3 finally updated with modern CF cards!


Really wanted to use the mSATA SSD to ATA adapter but the Kanga simply wasn’t having it. Thankfully the spare CF adapter and card I had did the trick.
