Same for music CDs, which I have started collecting as most of them are really cheap. |

Yeah, thankfully I only paid £120 for mine. |

I use a Humanscale Diffrient World chair -- they cost a small fortune new, but I found a used one for a bargain. Pretty comfy. |

Hardware / Re: Getting a Mac SE/30 a good idea?
October 05, 2023, 15:29 |
It depends what you are looking for. The SE/30 is not the best 68k Mac. That would probably be something like the Performa 475, or Quadra 650. But if you want a charming B&W Mac that can also be powerful (with some upgrades), then an SE/30 is the way to go. |

I have a MessagePad 2000, with the keyboard, leather case, other accessories. I don't use it much at all, but it's a neat device. It was ahead of its time. Some of the UI/UX in the software is really cool, small portions of it made their way to iOS but there are neat things in there that still can't be found in iOS or macOS. The software is what makes Newtons charming, in my opinion. They are a neat companion for old and new Macs. You can still sync Newtons with newer Macs with a serial to USB adapter, I haven't tried that yet but the software for it exists. |

They should be - the site works over HTTP and the PDFs are hosted on a HTML3.2 page that renders great on 68k machines. The PDFs should open up fine in something like Acrobat 3.0. |

Thanks for the kind words about Mac Hut and SE/30 Forever. The goal is certainly to keep things as simple as possible, really just to provide people with the information and files they need. I am posting semi-regular updates about Mac Hut here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-hut-is-back.16637/post-503638 |

Hello everyone. I'm a regular poster on the 68kMLA forum since ~2007 or so. Before that, I was on AppleFritter under a different nickname. I've been collecting old Macs on and off since 2003 or so. I've been through more Macs than I really want to remember. I run the website Mac Hut (machut.net). My current collection (including a modern daily Mac) includes 21 computers. My favourites are my 650 (inside a modified IIci case), clear case SE/40 (SE/30 with crazy upgrades), 45MHz 475, my 1.6GHz Sonnet Sawtooth G4 and my IIfx. My favourite Mac OS? 7.1, of course. |
