Retro Computing Enthusiasts are Masochists

torvan:
Nah, we are not Masochists. We are instead tinkers. It is not painful to use our PPC Macs, it is instead a joy.
aBc:
Where have you been torvan? Napping?
A bit of light-hearted mirth, always appreciated.
And thanks PT5LEG! Kinda fun video - but we're “masochistic”?
(Well maybe just a wee bit of self-flagellation, on occasion.)😉
We might have noticed zero references to MacOS9Lives
but it’s nice to see one’s work, however briefly on screen.
@eight minutes and 6 seconds in. (Don’t blink, you’ll miss it.)
Another lost, site bookmark https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=4088.msg28011#msg28011 covering capacitor replacement in an MDD AcBel PSU from 2017. And of course, someone just posted to the BadCaps.net’s PSU eight page thread, looking for a schematic.
*Page one begins here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-power-supplies-and-power-supply-design/12980-suspect-bad-ps-apple-acbel-api-1pc36?t=14077 So get out your cat o' nine tails and strap yourself up.
Macintosh Garden did however receive a mention:
Maybe a little blurb over on Macintosh Garden’s opening page would steer more traffic here and to System 7 Today?
AND perhaps similar on the header / footer here for System 7 Today & Macintosh Garden… as we’re all one big happy family now? ::)
Bolkonskij:
Wait, did I get it right that they took your work (with permission?) but didn't mention where it came from? :-(
aBc:
The video? Yes. No permission.
(However briefly.) I’m not bothered, really. But always hope for reference back to MacOS9Lives.
Badcaps.com? No.
I posted the line art there after original work done & posted here.
But below, this is kinda funny / bizarre… original images first appeared here & over on MacRumors.
It’s always nice to see our images or other work used elsewhere (even sans attribution?).
But for something that you really can’t quite understand?
Whatever they’re trying to sell above appears to be a great bargain,
- marked down from $56.00 to $28.00!
Half-price! Hurry, Add-To-Cart. ;D
