@kefkafloyd haha that’s awesome! I worked with his daughter a while back to rescue some former lab bunnies 🐇

Star Trek TNG on the Apple IIgs! 💾

This HyperStudio (think HyperCard) stack from 1991 was distributed as shareware and created by Scott Everts.

It covers the first 4 seasons of the show. Check it out and boldly go where no fan has gone... since 1991!

Be sure to subscribe too, I can't wait to see what they do with the place! 💾

How your support lets me archive cool stuff:

I just picked up this used large format 36-inch wide scanner. I've wanted one since 2017.

Now my vintage posters, advertisements, and flyers can be properly preserved and archived! (and of course shared) 😍

My friend from MacEffects sent me this Mac SE/30 board to look at. I owed him a favor so I agreed, plus it's New Old Stock, how bad can it be? 😅

This AT&T VHS tape from 1994 is a hell of a thing!🫣

It was on the free pile of a local thrift shop. I had no clue on the backstory until now.

The link below details the big controversy that this video was responding to, along with a PDF with more info.

@Random_Seed ouch! That looks pretty rough. It’ll work without the plastic, I’d say try and clean it up and see if it works before worrying too much about the plastics 😅

@NanoRaptor happiest of belated birthday wishes to you!! 🎂

I've wanted to explore a Pippin for ages... and now I have a prototype one?! Let's see what this is all about... 🧐https://youtube.com/live/LJ7HrORFYMk

@jmahlman haha, awesome!! So glad you enjoy it ❤️

@lori Nice SE/30! I did a video recently talking about first steps on inspecting new-to-you vintage Macs, this may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXpl-DDyhUo

The SE/30 can be a beast to repair. I'd certainly not make it your first recap job!

1st thing I'd do is get a looong Torx 15 screwdriver and open it up to assess any battery/cap damage. Don't power it on!

Bruce and I have plenty of videos covering recapping this particular Mac. LMK if you have any questions and share photos once you crack it open! 🙂

🎬Seventh time's the charm!🤞

@mausmalone okey dokey. Thankfully most IDE “PC” drives will just work, however burning discs via iTunes of iDVD may throw errors or warnings on non-Apple drives on a stock install. Adaptec/Roxio Toast or Disk Utility should burn discs okay though. (You can always burn them elsewhere too obviously).

Have fun with it!

@mausmalone FYI - Mac OS 9 can be installed as a bootable option on _most/all_MDD systems and offers full graphics acceleration. It can also be installed as sort of a VM (Classic Environment) where it may struggle to play anything too fancy. If your G4 has a FireWire 800 port on it you may need a modified MacOS9Lives install disc.

USB booting is kinda hacky on these PowerPC Macs, so when possible burn a CD to make your life easier. Have fun!

@mausmalone I would say browse MacintoshGarden.org and explore. You can also install Mac OS 9 and find loads of other titles: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-922-powermac-g4-mdd

Specific recommendations for games would depend on what they’re into.

However, there are loads of educational titles and non-violent games, Cro-mag Rally, Bugdom, The Sims, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Kid Pix are a few that come to mind.
