kinda looks like my old StyleWriter II manual box...

:ninja: It is actually a mint-condition Macintosh Classic, with manuals, stickers, all promotional materials, original packaging, and a $590 receipt for a 20 MB hard disk. Only been powered on twice... :ninja:

And finally mine :)

Not that customised, only a wallpaper that came with OS X and some desktop icons, added newest msn (that still doesn't support voice communication :angry:) and some things in bottom bar. (it's a new iBook, almost never used so cannot really have been customised).

that was snatch playing over the irc window on DVD just for you! :p

:ninja: My computer :ninja:

Perhaps I should clean today...

Are all of those monitors connected to the G3? Man, that many video cards (assuming that you are using the ones I see boxes for in the picture) must be putting a heavy strain on the poor power supply in there.

:ninja: Yes they are all hooked up to the same B&W. But I bet you that the 3 disk RAID I have inside it it killing the PSU a lot more than the vidcards LOL :ninja:

B&W G3

900/900/512k

896MB

2xRadeon 7000 PCI 64MB

Radeon 7000 PCI 32MB

Adaptec UW32 SCSI

WD 20 GB IDE

3xWD 4.5GB UW (Striped)

Hitachi 21"

3xCompaq 17"

All monitors in 1280x1024

Peripherals include:

52x Firewire CDRW

Kensington Black Keyboard

Kensington Optical Pro Mouse (worth the $149!)

and, of course, the stereo, which is:

Pioneer VSX-D307 5.1 Surround sound

2xKLH 5.25" 2-way bookshelf (200w)

2xLightning Audio 10" 3-way (250w)

Pioneer 12" downward firing powered subwoofer (250w)

...not to toot my own horn, but I live for my computer...

:ninja: Everyone that loves computers as much as I do should read this book:

Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution

It is all about the history of the Hacker Ethic and how it played a integral role in the development of microcomputers and Apple in particular...and it has done the best job of describing, in plain english, why I spend 18+ hours a day in front of a machine, and why a lot of the people I know do the same thing every day... :ninja:

Get a job in IT. That's the ticket. :D I made more than that every two weeks (NET) when I started out in entry level support 4

years ago. I've been a developer for over 3 years and I won't say what I make now but it's definately worth investing in tuition.

PS. I assume that you were quoting USD.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
