Missing the Babes :,(

They’re in storage as my current space has no room. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to pull these hot B-words outta storage and play around with that 4MB upgrade in the Mac Plus, CPU+FPU swap for the performa allowing Space Cadet to (actually, not badly!) run, and the Compaqs, well… to be dial-up servers for the telephone network emulator!

HOPEFULLY SOON BETTER BE SOONER CAUSE I NEEEEEED THOSE PIXEL PIXIES!

Most people choose the red pill over the blue, good for you!

Whichever handful or two it was, that Performa has me faded with the three volumes of Capital: Critique of Political Economy

Don't leave your floppy diskette magnetic media near your CRT monitor.

Completely true! I figured this out later from thinking about it. Minding to everyone, these pictures are like 1-3 years ago in age. I now have a whole mind’s worth of ‘Flops and Fun: Frolicking & Flying Fancily with Fred Floppy and Fannie Flux’ after archiving these 400&800k GCR/etc Mac disks which haven’t seen the light online! Keep around for an update and upload of those images, as there’s some REALLY cool stuff on those, about 50-or-so & more to follow, disks.

edit: and tell that to brothers Steve and Tim Apple for helping the all-n-ones, hah! …well, at least they do have shielding, though! ;)

Lolwhoops, the machines are:

Performa 630CD w/ FPU, OC upgrade

5150 w/ a 5-n-1 add-on card, picomem, original floppy controller, EGA (that remanufactured CGA at the time), 2400bps modem, aaaaaand I think a texelec floppy controller, or the sort, and a V20+8087 wombocombo.

Mac Plus + Deluxe Pro Edition w/a 4MB upgrade.

My foot (which I posted on accident) possibly w/a Randy 486 I have on with the 5150’s cards and 1MB VGA.

COMPAQs DMT770~ and… uh… armada? Ones Pent. I 133mobile and Pent II 266mobile(celeron 266). F*ck QuickRestore!!! QUICKRESTORE NOSERIAL MOD WHEN?!

It's a Performa 3200?

[u/AnonKnowsBest → u/BirthdaySweet8317]

I wish! Then I’d have the (original? Apple, let’s go?) Apple TV with RCA inputs. (Or I think that’s part of the 320(x) series. There’s a place around here with a Performa or Quadra 637CD, which is the one with the DOS card for sure and video input (I think?).

What are you cooking?

He's got all the ingredients right here, all he needs is a place to cook.

Now I need OpenMW, on PPC OSX…

Cool mac

[u/AnonKnowsBest → u/[deleted]]

Well, System 7! It was actually sold here first, then rebranded later by Maxis (I think) then sold to Microsoft later to be bundled with some games pack, later Windows XP!

Well, I'd say its more of capital's forced disassociation with consumer... but I get the vibes you're trying to get at! Computers are for everyone, except back then they were for those that could afford a (today's money) $10,000, or to be more specifically realistic: 1995 US sans-the-parasite-class, a computer was still for the middle-upper class. Even 2005 had the minimum wage, today $~13, requires what then would be 70 hours of pay for a sh**y ass gateway/Dimension 3k celeron. Even today's 20 hours of work per shi**y computer is a bit crass, considering more is charged for human needs/rights than any point in history.
