I was at my wife's friends house and while we were there she asked me why she can't get stuff off of her iPhone so I asked her to show me what she means

She brought me to her iMac and plugged in her phone. It opened up iTunes which said iTunes had to be updated to continue. When it brought you to apple's iTunes page, it said the computer was too old to accept the upgrade.

I tried for over 30 minutes and there absolutely was no way to get anything off her phone onto her iMac. Yeah it was a fairly old iMac but it ran things just fine and used to have zero issue with her doing that. I honestly don't know how anybody puts up with bullshit like that.

i had one but lacked the adc connection on my old g3 and didnt want to buy an obscenely pricey adapter. i ended up using the electron gun case for a small project case and scrapping the rest :sigh:. in my defense, i had no way of knowing if it even worked since it was in a recycle pile with a bunch of other old college lab equipment like g3 pizza boxes (that did work and someone even xpostfacto put 10.3 on it)

I have this with my MAME cabinet but ONLY if the back door of the cabinet is removed. Maybe you can get some sort of wooden enclosure that can help?

there might be benefits to having more lithium inside of you

but you probably need therapy and legitimate coping skills instead of shuffling from chemical crutch to chemical crutch

well, the point is that it is preinstalled chrome not from a notorious advertising tracking company (microsoft not innocent there, but a browser from google is only a small step up from running a browser made by facebook really), but that's the argument for people on windows. the argument to have it on osx is that it is good for sync and such for the people who started off on windows.

yes, some people feel high on lithium. psychoactive drugs rarely have the exact same effect from one person to the next. it's part of why psychiatry is so hard.
