https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY2kWyqdxOI LOL @ Mac clones nearly killing Apple. LOL @ pre-Jobs-return Apple CEOs trying to cargo cult the PC's success. Just LOL my loving rear end off at 1990-1998 Apple. (I typed this on my 2011 iMac that is still suiting the hell out of my needs 3.5 years later, thx Steve Jobs, Timmy Cook, and Jonnnnnny Ive) Doc Block fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Jan 13, 2015 |

You misunderstand me. My first Mac was a Mac SE/30. I used a bunch of Macs throughout the 90s. Personal computers in general were pretty lovely up until the late 90s/early 2000s.

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:could you set up some sort of proxy that read the page then mashes it into something that would render in IE 3? http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/?p=3910 it's pretty much that, proxy service that renders web pages into GIF images associated with a clickable imagemap of the original web links. if ur compute is hella old render to something other than .gif

my first internet and IRC experiences were on a friend's mom's powermac in the mid-90sDoc Block posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY2kWyqdxOI what's even more lol than the fixation on CISC is that, if you look in the right (wrong) places, there are still nerds who are incredibly bitter about how that played out like i ran into a guy about two years ago who still literally thought Apple should have stuck with PowerPC.

remember when jobs announced 1Ghz G4s at macworld then motorola couldn't actually deliver and everyone got 800Mhz versions instead for like 6 months that's when you knew apple/motorola was gonna end. making jobs look like a fool onstage.

ironically enough IBM got the g3 series (750 and later) down to some ultra low power versions at around 1 ghz that were great for embedded solutions

im watchin "kate and leopold", a sort of cute meg ryan movie that is like every other meg ryan movie, anyway it is totally full of pre-9/11 mac references like seriously loaded the guy talks about "a hacker friend here for the mac expo at the javitz center" and then meg ryan asks as a trick question "how my ram do i need in my g5 to run mac os 9.6?" (this is before g5s existed) and at meg ryan's office i have spotted a shitload of g4 towers w/ original cinema displays and gumdrop imacs and at least one titanium powerbook, and it's only 33 minutes in e: dude has a performa or something? maybe a pre-jonny power mac g3? e: and an older tek oscilloscope that he leaves running on his shelf for some reason, and he has a minox camera. lotsa neat technology Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Jan 21, 2015 |

Old Macs are loving worthless junk. They sucked rear end back then, and they suck rear end now. Gas this thread - and also every Old Mac should be tossed into the gas chamber too - but get this - with their little bitch boy aficionados still attached to their keyboards
