I've needed shelves for my old wedge shaped computers as most them were stacked on top of one another or on top of boxes. One of my neighbours was throwing out some shelves, however the issue was the shelves were broken into quarters, not flat horizontal shelves. So my meagre carpentry skills came in to make it suit my requirements and here's the results:  Going from top to bottom are: Amiga 1200 Commodore C64C Atari 800XL Atari 1040STe Missing is my C128 as a friend is borrowing it at the moment to trouble shoot his 128.

infernal machines posted:the switched lamp cord is a nice touch Yeah, the previous owner did that since Philips were completely incompetent at making a power switch Sweevo posted:door over the controls broken in the same way mine and every other 1084 is? Strangely enough, no. It is still complete. Stiff as all heck to open though, so it feels like it could break at any moment.

the best part about that is complete idiots selling 2004 (In this case a G5) "Pro Tools Digital Audio Workstations" for a grand on up. they think computers hold value the same as other audio tech and lol

apple has been making a concerted effort to gently caress over pro tools users for nearly a decade now and a confirmed stable pro tools setup is not easy to maintain a G5 is definitely pushing it in 2020 but i wouldn't be surprised to see pre-trashcan mac pros selling for exorbitant amounts especially after the arm transition

about a year ago someone locally was giving away ~25 old SCSI drives, and I ended up making the best part of a grand selling them on because it turns out that 5.25" hard drives that sounds like a jet engine and take 30 seconds to spin up were used in some mid-90s rack mount samplers and video editors and people got into bidding wars over them.

let’s say you have some really performance/timing sensitive software where small changes in system configuration can have a huge impact on its behavior, especially since it interfaces with real-time hardware beta releases of an upcoming OS have just become available do you: a. start testing your current software for compatibility, accommodating behavior changes and adopting new mechanisms to streamline performance further; or, b. make a note to start testing the next version of your software with the upcoming OS when the final shipping version of that OS becomes available, tell your customers to hold off on upgrading while you do so, and publicly blame the OS vendor for any incompatibility your customers do encounter

Penguissimo posted:apple has been making a concerted effort to gently caress over pro tools users for nearly a decade now and a confirmed stable pro tools setup is not easy to maintain I was using Pro Tools during the transition to Intel and I'm sure modern computers are quite a lot faster, but there wasn't anything particularly that slow about using those machines. The only thing they kind of sucked at was keeping your projects not broken and you could get weirdness on longer projects like for film/TV. If you're making music I imagine it would be extremely needs-suiting, and iirc, I think Pro Tools had support for hardware-accelerated audio. So I'm not surprised there would be some demand for those machines from musicians. Edit: oh poo poo, had not realized this thread was from 2 years ago. Don't get old, folks. It sucks rear end.

maybe today I’ll bring up my AT&T UNIX PC 68010, runs AT&T UNIX System V Release 3 with its own window system and some productivity apps mine has the StarLAN card installed so I either need a StarLAN to Ethernet bridge or an Ethernet card to get it on the network if I want to actually transfer anything to it easily
