dan 💾#Marchintosh may be over, but the #GlobalTalk shenanigans continue…
That’s right, now that the weather is finally nicer, we’ve got the big cables out to have #GlobalTalk running over barbed wire!
Somehow it all worked over the barbed wire on the first try! And the PowerBook 1400cs really wasn’t built to be used outside 😜 #GlobalTalk
vxo@billgoats haha this reminds me of the first time I had a laptop with a display made to be sunlight readable - an Itronix XC6250 series
that thing was POWERFULLY bright
@vxo This thing is the opposite of usable... even when new, these were never any good outside.
@billgoats oh the fix for that is easy, just take one of those big blackout drapes with you like you'd use with a view camera so you can use the ground glass finder
bazzargh@billgoats @vxo an Ikea DRÖNA works well as a sunshade for laptops, looks like it would fit the powerbook. They squish to pack up and are fairly cheap
@bazzargh @billgoats hah I wonder if Porta Brace ever made a case for laptops with the snoot
I have one of their cases that has the shady snoot, it's made to fit an Ikegami / JVC TVM-9 series. It's so cute
