@ActionRetro Oh no, Sean is becoming a sysadmin. Run, Sean. Save yourself! It's too late for me...

@NanoRaptor The real winner here is that logo – which would give even Neptune himself pause.

Hey retro-Macs hivemind!Evaluating my Blue and White G3 case and remembering this ridiculous piece of plastic which acts as a spring-and-latches to keep the case closed. Both the tabs on mine are snapped, so the case can't stay closed.This seems like a common problem that's easily solved with a 3D-printed part. But not only do I have zero experience designing 3D files, but since my part is damaged I don't have reference for what the part looks like. Has anyone ever dealt with this before?

After letting the original design lay fallow for a respectful period, Black Friday seemed like the perfect day to sink my teeth in and launch the re-jigged version: "I 🦷 Molar Mac".I'd be really happy if you bought some of my shirts, and that's the tooth! #PowerMac #MolarMac #UglyComputers #YearnsForDeathhttps://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/53622539-i-tooth-molar-mac

If like me, you were a child of the '90s, you might remember "ReBoot" – a pioneering 3D animated kids series created by Vancouver's own Mainframe Entertainment.These documentarians have gotten a hold of the original, uncompressed digital masters. The problem is, they're in the D-1 format.If anyone in the #retrotech community has access to a Bosch BTS D1, or a comparable D1 player/decoder, I urge you to reach out to @ReBootReWind (on Twitter) to help preserve #ReBoot!https://globalnews.ca/news/10194517/reboot-documentary-digital-master/

@ActionRetro It almost feels more (but not quite) like this turns the Apple II into a terminal for a mainframe which is running in one of the Apple II's own card slots.But as a video title, that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

@ActionRetro I've got four retired 2010 Mac Minis (that were servers in a previous life), as well as a load of spare SATA SSDs. New DDR3 is cheap and plentiful. Now that you've done all that, you've got me thinking of what else I could do with a stack of four fully-upgraded mid-2010s... 🤔
