      And I'm gonna play "War Eternal",  the song by Cirith Ungol... (I really like that guitar lick that plays right after he says "War Eternal"  :)

  6. Check out this freebie I got.

    I don't know if it works. 

    I'm having a hard time finding a charger for it.

    I think it will make a good little DOS gaming machine.

      Sorry. Bad joke.

      Some of those old Computer Chronicles episodes can be "fun". Partial to the Amiga episodes myself. 🙂

  8. On your IMac, don't use the USB ports on your keyboard to try installing Ubuntu on it. I figured this out after spending hours trying to troubleshoot the problem...

    ...use the USB ports on the back of the machine.

    1. save2600

      save2600

      Yep, older keyboard ports are usb v1.1. Newer are v2.0, but still may not deliver the power needed. Mostly there as a convenience for plugging in a mouse is all. 

  9. I never knew there was a Mega Man cartoon!

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      There is?    I guess it shouldn't surprise me.

  10. I can't figure this out. This is in the intro to the Napoleon Dynamite movie. What exactly is this?

      GoldLeader

      IDK,  A spaceship drawing,..Maybe some old arcade games, (purple Computer Space?), claw game, or mini games...And label maker labels...

       

      I think the drawing is just because he was bad at drawing but thought he was good at it,  as if he's still seeing the world like a little kid sometimes... but just because it's funny.

  11. I miss Gamespy.

  12. Snapple? Do they taste as bad as they used to? I just don't get Snapple.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      For sweetened stuff,  I used to love the peach tea and also the raspberry tea...Granted that was decades ago.

    2. GoldLeader

      I can't remember when I just started drinking plain Iced Tea, no sugar...Somewhere in the early - mid 90's I guess.

  13. Got a Sega Genesis mini. I'm probably going to sell it. It's CIB and in great condition. I'm not sure what it's worth.

  14. I got gas.

  15. My Macbook and my dads have this mounting point on the battery. Both his and mine are cracked in the same place. Does this mean the battery is swelling? Should I replace the battery?

      Wow, they must be really old, I haven't seen a replaceable battery on Mac Book's in a looong time.

      They're not old...just classic. ?

  16. My new DOS gaming machine! It has a PII 450 and 512MB of RAM. It also has a Voodoo 3 graphics card installed.

    All I need now is a full version of Windows 98 SE. ?

      You could adapt this Billy Joel song and sing those words you posted instead of the original words:

      Depends where.  My office, where the dog isn't allowed?  Five second rule is safe.  The living room carpet?  No, the hot pocket has enough fur on it that it looks like a tiny dog.

      Yeh High Sierra is good for security updates through November.   Current computer I'm using has Sierra on it (and I have others).   Getting information on a Performa to get new files?   Hmmm...   immediately I would take the hard drive out and use a IDE to USB adaptor to load the drive up with files from another computer.  But that would have to be another Mac ... which you have with the iMac! 

       

      Long term for that type 2 slot in the 6400 there were apparently USB and Firewire cards which would run fine under System 9.   I found a "6400 Zone" of all things!

      Thanks! I'll give that a shot. Are there reputable sites to get games like Wolf3d?

       

       

    4. doctorclu

      doctorclu

      To get Wolf3D?   Not that I'm aware of.   Last site was more a way to get a card to get USB working on the 6400.   No, would like to get Wolf 3D working again myself.   I had a disc of Mac games once, but they were for 68030/68040 Macs.   Might work on PowerPC 603 Macs. 

       

      As for where on the internet, not sure off hand.

  22. Deciding whether to get an Mac mini or not.

  23. I've been bitten by the Apple bug.

      You won't be satisfied until every piece of technology you own is an Apple product, or at least, they won't be compatible with anything else anyway.
