From a previous post, I believe valmag stated that she is a female. Pardon me if I am mistaken. |

An Apple IIgs! That takes me back! When that machine first came out I was working in a software store, and we received a display model to run demo software. In walks this guy who does a double take when he sees it. He asks me "Is that an Apple IIgs?!?" I said yep. He said "Wow! Can get that (points at the monitor) but not that other stuff (points at CPU and external drive) and still do things with it?" I said ummm...no, and thought the guy was some computer newbie. But then he says "Hey! Is that one of those new 3.5" external floppy drives?!?" Truly confused, I said ummm...yes it is. The guys runs over to it, pulls the disk out of the drive hold it up to his nose and says "So that's what they smell like!" That did it. I spent the rest of my shift hiding behind the Commodore 64 software. Sorry for the long story, but whenever I see mention of a IIgs I always think of that guy LOL  I'm glad my retail days are behind me! |

OMG, that's completely freakin' hilarious! LOL! Any more first-hand (ie, not urban legend) freaky stories of techno-idjits? Anyone?

Thanks for making us feel welcome.
I dropped in for some tea and sympathy while dealing with my attbi setup woes. What a relief to find so many active Mac users. I use a Powerbase (upgraded to a G3) at home and lust for latest G4's. At work, I surf dslreports while the boss ain't lookin' and I've been known to pull out a Newton and play a little chess during the occasional business meeting.
Did anyone read the Wall Street Journal article on Friday morning about guerilla wifi networking in Colorado? I'd give you a link but the WSJ online is proprietary content. In short, a scoundrel has hacked together a fairly active 802.b wireless network in Aspen using surplus Russian radio equipment, Pringles chip cans and baling wire. Inspirational reading - even for capitalists like myself! |

Powermac 6100
Back in my first college's newspaper I inherited the use of a PM 6100, the 6100/60 the editor in chief who purchased it just bought it and used it as his base away from home to dip and swap programs on and off, when he left I upgraded her (a her cause the staff months back named her Mother [go figure she was the highest model computer in the newsroom -you can do the math]) past what Apple noted was her max I ended up amazing the campus' Apple tech, (after leaving the campus) I heard through the woodwind she was torn up for her chips by that rep as he claimed there was a virus in her rendering her useless *sigh*

Hell and for nostalgic reasons cool just to keep it period, it still can kick rear if used I'd bet plus chips and so forth are inexpensive, all the best to you and your 6100.

Not sure if I count as a new user or not, but I'm here, anyway. I do software QA work for a company that makes servers, and there aren't any Macs there to speak of, so I'm always happy to come home to my Macs and see computing done the way it should be.
My main machines are:
Cube (450MHz G4)
7500 (400MHz G3 Upgrade)
My wife has an iBook, and it's connected to our network through an AirPort. I'm hooked up to DSL through DIRECTV DSL, and running an Asante Cable/DSL Router that connects all the ethernet machines. The printer is hooked up on a LocalTalk network via an Asante iPrint adapter.
I also have a whole pile of old Macs that I'm going to use to start a musem, hopefully having them hooked up to a LocalTalk network, and plugged into my ethernet network.

Off the date you joined and the number of post you have you are not new but what neat plans you have your old model Apple computers. Like that line the one of the way computing should be, should be in some Apple ad and/or commercial.
