Old tech

This chunky boy is just a random I saved to post when Macstack came back, so here it is

Also, just contributing a new topic to get this place going

Yikes, that really is a chunky boi. Funnily enough I’ve temporarily taken my old PowerBook 1400 (the one I had in the early days of the MAF) out of retirement. I’m using it to write my memoir

The CHUNKIEST boi

[LCGuy]

Ahhh yes, the G3 AIO, aka the ugliest Mac ever. That said as an Aussie if I had the opportunity I’d still pick one up given they were only sold in US/Canada, and only to education customers

I was cleaning out my office tonight and went back in to snap this pic of old tech. I am not close to done sorting. In this corner I have a 2015 iMac running Bunsen labs Linux a bondi blue iMac with original OS a Molar Mac (G3 AIO) some random CRT monitor and a Apple IIe. I can't bear to toss this stuff but feel so bad its just around doing nothing.

I really miss how cool those iMacs looked. Not like modern computers, which look like tools.

I’ve taken to vintage stuff recently. I recapped/revived two Mac Plusses that I had in my basement, then repaired a pair of IIsi’s that needed some work.

I ended up setting up and maxing out a QS G4 tower my dad had, which is a very nice OS9 machine. Especially after you add a SATA card and m.2 SSD, etc. I actually use it for Adobe Illustrator and Finale.

I’m in the middle of building a Plus/ITX project right now, but it’s competing for time with a couple other projects I’m working on.
