@Unixbigot https://accelerando.com.au/ seems to be broken (at least on Firefox on Linux)

The Power Mac lives! The hard disk sounds like it’s toast though and it will only boot from CD. #VintageMac

Cleaned the keyboard that came with Power Mac today… it sure needed it! #VintageMac #Cleaning

Sick of those annoying Sign in with Google pop-ups (I never want to sign in with Google)? Here is some Stylus #CSS to hide them.

Note that it uses the :has selector, which is not on by default in Firefox yet. Enable by toggling layout.css.has-selector.enabled (the usual caveats about poking around in about:config apply). #degoogle

Gave the Power Mac a wash with PCB cleaner followed by a rinse in deionised water, isopropyl alcohol, and a lot of air duster to blow the water out from under things. Check out the colour of that water! I’ll be putting up a video of the process on my YouTube channel when it’s done.

Apparently ¼ of the motherboard is RAM slots—those were the days

Took a look inside the Power Mac this morning… it's going to need a good clean and corrosion protection. Looks like it was in a corrosive environment at some point. The backside of the PCB seems to be worse than inside. It doesn't look like it's penetrated the protective coating over the PCB and the PRAM battery seems intact too (although I'll be aiming to replace it).

Seems it was made after Jan 1996 as the CD drive has a manufacture date of then. The HD is 4Gb. #RetroComputing #VintageMac

Went for a little 3 hour road trip this morning to pick up my new Mac… a 1995 Power Macintosh 9500/150 supposedly in working order! 16” display, keyboard, mouse, and Zip drive included. RAM and HD info currently unknown. They’re all in need of a good clean and some retrobrite to restore that platinum exterior to its former glory. According to MacTracker this machine cost US$4699 when new, or about $8669 in todays money.
