it's so weird how ephemeral these artefacts are. i was just watching a video about Minoan pottery, statues, frescoes, that have lasted over 4000 years. you could theoretically still use those pots. but we have a hard time using these machines from 20 years ago. it takes time and specialized knowledge and spare parts. in order to be profitable the companies that make these things almost instantly discard everything about them. as though they were making any other fad based consumer product like a mcdonalds happy meal toy , except these machines required tens of billions of dollars of infrastructure and supply chain involving hundreds of thousands of people. but the other strange thing is how nostalgic it makes me feel to watch them, almost as though a Minoan religious artefact could summon some kind of out of body experience for a Minoan viewer, when i watch these i can remember things from childhood, my Mother who is passed away, like reaching back in time.

MacAddict was freakin' great when it started. Funny, honest, entertaining. Full of hidden jokes and easter eggs on their discs each month. Weird projects (they made a web controlled motorized webcam out of random crap), plus before I had an internet connection it was the only way I could get game demos. I remember in the "write to us" section one guy wrote in saying his magazines kept coming under the name "Ch4is" and he'd like in changed. They published the request in the magazine with a cartoon of him as some kind of freakish monster with a "My name is Ch4is" name tag. They became a lot more generic as the years went on. By the time they turned into MacLife it was so generic it could have been an AI spitting out that crap.

MacAddict is my counter to that. Come to think of it, Power Computing’s marketing campaigns feel like MacAddict articles.

I am very glad to see love for the StyleWriter 1. My gramma paid for a Mac Classic II and that StyleWriter so I had a computer for uni. Both lasted me the whole four years and some extra time afterward. I ran mine with the StyleWriter II's printer drivers (CDEVs, eh?) because they sped up printing -- half the time! You had to grab another CDEV that disabled the nozzle reset button in software, because hitting that would brick the v1. This also allowed some level of backgrounding, so I could finish the last couple pages of a ten-page paper while printing the first eight, then run from my dorm to class. Gee, I think I still have similar habits. Oh dear. I just found out about your channel from Action Retro (in late April 2024). I hope the new traffic treats you well. I'd better find your Patreon.

There was corrosion from the ink powder that'd leaked over the years on the motor, other parts beneath it. I also pulled it's logic board and it's caps had badly leaked as well. I tried recapping/cleaning it in case that'd be the problem, but it didn't help. Bummed I didn't get it working - I'm hesitant to attempt to disassemble the whole carriage section as there's so many gears/springs/etc I'm sure it'll likely break it more.

Very interested!

Last time I saw a Mac that could run System 7 was almost twenty years ago. People in my country throw everything away as soon as they can. Can't even find a VCR these days, let a lone a classic Mac.

I was looking for someone to blame for the views being low on this video ;) Thanks for the good intentions, Scott!

Great video! If only I wasn't so poor so I could afford the Patreon, but oh well.

No worries. Messages of support are just as good to me. I will probably bring the whole 'Hoard' series out as one video soon enough so everyone can see Part 1.

- Cliff-hanger ending. Part 4 will pick-up where Part 3 left off, so there's more Marathon on the way. - I'm glad you finally watched the video, because I knew I could count on you to give a concise answer on the HDI-30 adapter. Thanks for that! - I'm glad I'm not alone with that number of computers. The video making fun of how I could not reasonably take proper care of 170 computers, but I keep collecting. - I'm glad to hear you liked the video. It means even more when it passes muster with a subject matter expert.

@@65scribe I like to share my knowledge the best I can, and I hope that you try out your HDI-30 adapter with the switch. Remember to shut down your computer before switching, as SCSI doesn't like hot swapping - I learnt the hard way with the hot swapping of SCSI cables. I don't like to call myself an 'expert' in any way, because that means I know everything! There is a lot I don't know!

Hope you can get a Japan excluseive 550c to complete the 500 series collection, its look great I think.

Hey J.D! Yeah, a bit of an unintentional mind game. The identities of parts 1 & 2 are explained in the description. In the end, I’ll splice all the parts together in one big video.

i do wonder, what do you think of the apple silicon macs and such?

@65scribe

Жыл бұрын

I can’t say I’m an expert on modern Macs since I still use 2008-2010 Mac Pros. I think it’s great they finally control the Silicon. They seemed to be falling behind the curve with Intel due to lack of upgrades. Not sure how much of that was Apple and how much was intel? Anyway, they did a nice job with the iMac but the Mac Studio missed a great opportunity to do an aluminum 7.7” cube, giving better heat dissipation and honouring Steve Jobs. The Mac Pro 2023 should be interesting. Let me know your thoughts on Apple Silicon.

@@65scribe I feel them going with ARM as their architecture was an inevitability due to their work on the iphone's processors, and their focus on efficiency as a base is probably a good thing considering how apple is about cooling fans and generally what happened with the later powerpc processors.
