Jeff GeerlingI don't know how many more rabbit holes I can go down, but I'm about to become a retro Mac 'Tuber lol
Lando@geerlingguy we all end up with a surplus eMac or three. It happens
Ozzelot 
@geerlingguy I feel this haha stabbing my very soul
Justin Derrick@geerlingguy Those eMacs will very likely need new caps... They were affected by the capacitor plague...
Otherwise they can run Leopard and (I think) Snow Leopard -- even if they're the slower G4 CPU variant, there's an OpenFirmware (Opt-Cmd-O-F) trick that tricks the installer into thinking it's an 867Mhz CPU rather than the 700 Mhz CPU.
Otherwise, they're great vintage machines if they don't have atrocious burn-in.
BigBadBiologist@geerlingguy it’s ok, you’ve learned from the best. No, not me. I’m talking about the great @mac84tv

Madagascar_SkyHey, that is some nice plastic! How come the new-ish apple stuff didn't turn yellow? Looks very pretty from here, especially the mouse (mouses or mice?).
@Madagascar_Sky I'm guessing better material science as they matured—a lot of old tech in the beige era turns similar shades of ugly yellow!
The TiBooks were also notoriously poor-wearing over time.

@geerlingguy My first Apple was a G5 Mac Pro I got like two or three years ago, just so I finally know how it would have been buying a 5000 Dollar machine in 2005 I was not impressed tbh even though one thing I have to admit the engineering of the hardware it self was darn cool sad PowerPC in consumer products died with the G5.
Mœllus ⁂@geerlingguy Wott spieks against it?
