Search street signs on eBay.

There are a lot of places that make customized street signs for no additional charges.

Make sure they're empressed like the one pictured and not printed on.

Best of luck.

Finally got around to taking pictures with my Mom's Kodak EasyShare 3.1MP camera.

lol I couldn't help posting these photos I took of some of my old Macs. This thread brought back memories of my Mac days. I still have Mac ties, administrating the basicically entirely Mac network at the local primary school.

I don't see how anyone could cope with those one-button mice. That's one thing Apple got wrong IMO.

Last time I checked, owning a Mac or a Dell didn't mean you have to use the included Mac or Dell mouse :rolleyes:

I put a PCI USB card in the PowerMac 6500 (It has ADB only) just so I could use a decent USB Microsoft mouse :p

That was before I discovered Logitech! MX700 :D

Heck I even felt a great sense of achievement when I got OS X running on the thing (It only has a PPC 603e processor), damn it was slow :p Although I still love old Macs, Apple has certainly come a long way in the past few years!

loving Macs doesn't mean we hate Microsoft.

btw i use Logitech. ;)

most people here love Windows XP so much, yet a lot of them try so hard to make their Windows looks like OSX. do you find that hilarious too? :unsure:

HAHAHA our school is full of mac classics all the teachers like them, my english teacher calls hers old reliable hahahahahha she says its the best thing since sliced bread

our school uses SOME macs, our teachers hate them, not the macs fault though, we use old outdated software running on OS9. Still DECENT, but it sure is not OSX. We are upgrading, but knowing our cheap school it will probably be to like OS 10.2 or something

I have been looking for a bluetooth mouse for my powerbook. All the ones that logitech and MS make are just plain butt-ugly IMO. So I decided to go to the apple retailer and check out their bluetooth mouse. I was actually quite impressed with it and am pretty sure I could get used to only one button. I mean my trackpad only has one button on it and I get along with it fine. I think that I might pick it up unless I can find any other bt mouse that looks good.

BTW, has anyone else with an apple notebook wished there was a cntrl button on the right side of they keyboard instead of enter so you could right-click easier? Wait, I just had a though, isn't there programs where you can change that stuff around I thought. Or is it built in to OS X???

    • It's become a central place at my workplace. I use it for meetings, general chatting between employees, and the teams for storing of files to share between people at work. 
    • It's a Dell color laser printer. Back when Microsoft kept having these security flaws with the print spooler and recommending you disable it I just got in the habit of it, and I use it so rarely now I just leave it disabled in case another flaw pops up.
    • KDE makes progress toward full Wayland session restore in Plasma 6.5 by David Uzondu In the latest issue of This Week in Plasma, the development team, as usual, brings news of ongoing work for the desktop environment. While KDE continues to polish the recently released Plasma 6.4, work has already taken off on the next major version of Plasma, 6.5. A significant step forward is being made on Wayland session restoration; the xx-session-management-v1 restore protocol has been implemented in Qt 6.10, which means KDE applications and Plasma itself can soon start using it to finally bring proper session restore to Wayland. For more immediate user-facing changes in Plasma 6.5, the Welcome Center application now teaches you about the many available keyboard shortcuts, as well as "what the heck the 'Meta' key is." For those who frequently work remotely, Plasma's built-in RDP server now supports syncing clipboard text between the client and server. The clipboard also received another useful feature, letting you copy the QR code for an item, not just view it. The team is also addressing smaller usability issues across the desktop, including fixes that will land in point releases for Plasma 6.4. Spectacle, for example, will no longer show a ghostly semi-transparent version of its menus in screenshots. The New! badge, which was introduced in Plasma 6.4 is now easier to read with better colors. Other notable UI improvements include: A new button on the "missed notifications" pop-up that lets you view what you actually missed. The Networks widget is now much better at telling you what it is doing, like when it is "looking for wireless networks". Inertial scrolling with touchpads is now active in all QtQuick-based KDE software. As always, the KDE team spent the week squashing bugs across various versions of Plasma and related software. Plasma 6.4.1, which went live this Tuesday, addressed several crashes in the desktop portal implementations and patched the open/save dialog, where apps could insert extra UI elements in the wrong places. It also resolved a recent performance regression affecting some games and fixed a strange issue with drawing tablets where the pointer could disappear when two were connected in different modes. 6.4.1 tackled a particularly odd hardware-specific problem with Samsung Odyssey G5 monitors endlessly turning on and off because of a faulty DDC implementation. KDE responded by blacklisting the device. In addition to that, the update fixed an accessibility regression in Discover, corrected an issue where deleting a favorited app left behind a ghost item you couldn't un-favorite, and restored the Window List widget's ability to minimize windows. As for fixes planned for 6.4.2, here's the full list as outlined by the Plasma team: Fixed a case where System Settings' Flatpak App Permissions page could cause the whole app to crash. Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause Plasma to go back to sleep again right after waking up, when the "Sleep then hibernate" setting is in use. The appearance of text labels in Folder View pop-ups is once again correct. You're no longer erroneously prompted to authenticate for a Wireguard VPN whose credentials are already stored in KWallet, and the wallet is set up to automatically open at login. Fixed an issue in the KDE desktop portal's screenshot implementation that prevented the delay setting from taking effect. Missing app backends listed in Discover's Settings page once again show the correct names. The brightness level shown on System Settings' Display & Monitor page now matches the one shown in Plasma. Fixed an issue that caused the panel to have too much space in it until restarting Plasma if you stop displaying the date on a horizontally-laid-out Digital Clock widget. The older Plasma 6.3.6 fixed video stuttering on variable-refresh-rate screens and patched the Weather Report widget after Environment Canada changed its data format. You can check out the full update on the official KDE Blog.
    • I'm happy with my setup. I have a raid 1 two drive Synology setup that I backup with Time Machine to every so often. What is your setup at home? 
    • Enterprise support (ex. Premier Support) is a bit different cup of coffee. I am not saying it is great, but they have SLAs and I have received solution within hours and even patches within 3 days.
