Hello members of System 7 today! I originally joined in late 2006 but have only just made a post start posting now (Yes, I've been lurking the forums from time to time) I like this fourms because this is the mac forum is more focused on the macs that I like to use. I am also a member of macdomain.net, but that site has very little activity since it got resurrected in 2006. I can't remember exactly how I found this site, but I was really impressed with the content upon first impression. Needless to say it went straight into my bookmarks. These are the macs I own: PowerMac 5500/250 (Director's Edition) This is 100% original (minus the addition of a generic PC PCI usb card and had the original black keyboard replaced once) I've owned this since day one (mid 1997 when OS 8 just hit the shelves). Well to be more accurate my parents bought it as our first family computer. Was different being a mac owner back all those years ago. If it wasn't for this machine, I wouldn't have been a mac fan and i certainly wouldn't be posting here as I am today. Dad wanted to throw this out several years back and if it wasn't for me intervening at the right time it would have been landfill. Quadra 950 I got off eBay in very good condition with the exception of a faulty floppy drive. It's got a 33Mhz '040, 40Mb RAM, 1Gb SCSI HDD This cost me alot more than it should for what it is, (I won't mention a price) but I figure there aren't too many of these left and I for one would love on in my collection. (Picture) LCIII mac liberated from my old primary school. They employed me on a short contract to do some network administration for them in 2006. I saw this mac sitting on a shelf in a dark room. The machine had not been turned on in about 5 years. The hard drive still span up ok and even had some of the old games from primary school on there! (Picture) It should be noted that this very machine is one of the first macs I ever used. The first was a mac classic in 1993/4. Unfortunately, the classics along with some BBC micros and Acorn Archimedes which I miss dearly had been given the old heave-ho into the skip bin the previous year. Like the Q950, it has a busted floppy drive  I did manage to get the 13" monitor that came with it! They also handed me all of their mac stuff which is in their store room! What a bonus!In that same libration I acquired a PowerBook 140c, 3 PowerBook 230 Duos one of which had water damage to the screen & keyboard, 1 is working perfect and the other has a damaged keyboard. And now for me to introduce my main Mac workhorse! PowerMac 8600/250 (currently being built up w/ all the goodies!) I have done the following modifications:
12" iBook G3 Snowbook 2002 model (700MHz G3,256MB RAM, 20 GB HDD,32MB VRAM - soon to be maxed out) (No picture as of yet) G4 digital audio tower. Yet another project of mine. I intend to put a 1.4GHz Sonnet G4 processor and max out the RAM. (Picture) And of course to satisfy my music collection I own a 30gb 5th Gen iPod Video. (No picture as of yet) You know, even With all these fancy intel 'mac pro' & 'imacs' gadgets around today, it still makes me happy to fire up the old mac classic machine  .Anyway, hope to have a good time with you all on System7Today! --CM |
