What's a book?

Wood pulp based storage media, commonly used since Gutenberg popularised it.

So, it's an organic ROM… sorta?

Anyway, does this ↓ count?

Welcome! In case you're not aware, Macintosh Garden is a great place to find old games and software. You can get Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord here if you're happy with a digital copy

Thanks! I haven't started doing anything yet, so that's a good save.

Yes, I was being literal, it is so dusty, but I'll take your advice. I'm digging into it over the weekend. Most of the parts I've ordered won't arrive until Monday/Tuesday anyway, so can't install yet. I've also ordered a DVI-DP cable to use an old monitor I found too.

Cheers

Hey! Just a tip if your post is to be taken literally: Don't use an actual vaccum (hoover?) inside a computer, they give off lots of static electricity which can kill or at least shorten the lifespan of electronics. Use compressed air if you have it or a dry cloth if you don't.

Hello, I've just found a long-stored 1.25GHz Uni MDD (minus HD & RAM) that I hope to vacuum out revive with OS9. I have no real use for it, but I do remember playing Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord, so that's a purchase I hope to make in the future - if I can find one for sale!

I also have some 2011 iMacs (24" & 27") that I rescued from my old business, and have since upgraded to SSD. One of them has OS10.6 and Adobe Creative Suite 4 installed, and the other two have Linux Mint OS, so can do everything that a modern computer can, just a little slower. I have another one that I'm deciding what to do with.

I'd like to put one of the old iMac HDs into the MDD, and reading through the Hardware section here, I found out I needed an adapter board, so I ordered one today. I've also ordered 2Gb of RAM. If I get stuck, I'll post something on one of the forums here.

Cheers!

Sabrina-Online.com was one of the first webcomics I ever read and still works to this day, even with Netscape 4.7.

Great webcomic, one I'm fond of as well and have also read on Mac OS 9! Great characters, art and a lot of late 90s to early 2000s computer tech.

For another, significantly more chaotic and surreal webcomic, the artistic masterpiece that is Pokey the Penguin works too: http://www.yellow5.com/pokey

You can also still browse the RPG Classics shrines via the archived site: http://archive.rpgclassics.com/

Iirc, if you're willing to install Flash, the old Homestar Runner archive also works, but it's been a while since I've tried it, so your mileage may vary. http://old.homestarrunner.com

I picked up reading again last year, for the first time since I was a teenager I think. My main reading project since then has been reading through all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I'm currently up to the 13th book, Small Gods. Pratchett's currently my favourite author; his comedic style that can still be sincere when the story calls for it really clicks with me, and the fact that the individual novels are self contained and not super long makes it easy to jump in and out of the series without feeling lost.

I also occasionally dabble in Japanese light novels (mainly Slayers, since I'm a big fan of the anime and wanted to see the origins of the series), as well as occasionally reading through Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, which is so utterly weird and ridiculous and still weirdly compelling in spite of it all.
