i did that thing where you cut open the Color Classic and transplant the guts from a power macintosh 5x00 series computer so you can upgrade it to comical specifications and be stuck with the 9" 512x384 display (modded to 640x480 ofc). ahh wasted youth

the first computer i ever owned myself was a Mac SE/30. loved the hell out of that little beige box. next mac i ever owned was a 2008 iMac, which i returned almost immediately because those were the ones with the lovely 6-bit panels with hella bad dithering. next i had a 2009 mac mini.

current computer is a 2011 iMac.

when i was in college i had one of those lovely imac computers, you know, the all in ones with the heavyass crt screen built in

a friend of mine noticed me bitching about it locking up when i'd run photoshop so he was like "well poo poo, put more ram in"

yeah, the only way we could figure out how to put more ram in was to saw it open (we were both dumb and without special screwdrivers)

built a windows pc and never looked back :yayclod:

ps: never had to drive an hour to get software for it again

lol I upgraded the RAM in my iMac by unplugging it, laying it face down on a towel, removing the little plate at the bottom, and putting more RAM in. on the new Retina iMacs there's a little panel on the back that opens up and is there just so you can upgrade the RAM.

it's retard-easy.

too bad they went to soldered-on RAM for the new mac mini :(

new mac mini, yes.

previous macs mini were great little computers.

like, late 2009 mac mini and onward you can upgrade the RAM by just flipping it over and twisting the bottom off, the RAM is right there.

new ones have soldered-on RAM but still have the same form factor and only dual-core CPUs, it's hella shameful.

switched from pasting paper layouts for yearbook to pagemaker on a iici in high school, stories were typed on se/30. then had a performa 6360. i have a iici now because ~nostalgia~, pismo powerbook, and two og imacs with os 9 when my kids were little because mac education software was cheap at places like half price books.

get the max amount of ram when you buy the computer and then you don't have to worry about not having enough ram and not being able to upgrade it like a caveman

we had a mac plus when I was in high school, upgraded to 4 megs of ram and a 20mb SCSI drive, but I think the floppy drive couldn't read 1.44mb disks

also arturia released a couple new synth emulations including the matrix 12 so I grabbed the original manual from 1986 and
