    Resurrection of old macintosh g3 333mhz

    Problem is, the most likely problem I'm going to face is not the machine, dying, but having someone break in and steal it, though I think this unlikely at the school I am currently working. The prices people are getting on ebay for jazz and zip stuff reflects it's value. It's not much, but...

    Resurrection of old macintosh g3 333mhz

    You've got a couple very good points. Let's see. DVD-r is a possibility, but not until they drop off the new item ripoff pricing list. When they hit about 100-150, then I'll switch. The other problem is the media needs to be one everyone is using, and often with the parents I have, they...

    Resurrection of old macintosh g3 333mhz

    Well, I have 10 students, and, as they work, I scan in everything they do, and have to save it for 3 years for a portfolio presentation. I suspect that the wisest money would be a safe deposit box, and, as the 36 gigs of storage fill up, burning it to CD, and storing it in the safe deposit box...

    Resurrection of old macintosh g3 333mhz

    I should be more specific. Not scsi vs ide, but Seagate Cheetah's vs. IDE. I still have the 4 cheetahs, puchased in 1997, that were in the box originally. They now reside as infrequently used backups for a raid box, on an old pc. I've also had reasonably good luck with Quantum LM's. Not so...

    Resurrection of old macintosh g3 333mhz

    Mirror 1 The concept of buying a cheap, high capacity, low reliability ide drive for storage just doesn't make sense to me. The only way I could see doing it, is, if the drives are dual, in other words, raid 1. Under softraid, I could raid two drives, each masters, on the tempo card, and...

    Resurrection of old macintosh g3 333mhz

    HI My new school district is all macs. So, to get things going, I brought out my g3, 33hmhz with 9.22, Cheetah 10x on an uw card, using an LVD cable, and termination. I bought a Tempo 3 in one card. It has four fire wire ports, 2 usb external, and, it looks like two ide 133 channels...

    Bush Lays off Congress

    Politicians, as a general rule, are the lowest form of human life. The less influence they have over your life, and the fewer laws, within a couple reasons, the better. Looking to a politican to save a bad situation is like trying to win money in Las Vegas: the odds are seriously against you. gs

    Bush Lays off Congress

    Well, I live in a country, Kalifornia, ravaged by facist-liberals, that, what a shock, destroyed the economy of the 6th largest country in the world, Kalifornia. I really wonder how much control you want your congress to have over your business. While I would not allow people to enter the...

    Getting rid of stuff, really sucks. As a school teacher at a ghetto school, I couldn't get the frigging people that disposed of the computers to give me a call. Most likely, the pricks have their own way of making money on the disposal(Vallejo). I was REALLY good at putting together broken...

    My new toy

    Guys always kid me about my desire for large caliber guns. I like 45 super, which is close to 44 mag. I also know exactly what they are talking about as far as the 454/ 45 colt ripping up, with heavy loads. I'm having my grips redesigned to take the recoil a bit better then a plow handle...

    My new toy

    Well, the S&W 500 looks more like a 45-70 opened up to .500, to me. That gun weighs 72 oz, or three pounds more then most handguns. I think that may just be too big for a handgun. 40 oz is a very heavy big gun to carry around. I'm not sure the extra 30 oz, and size, is worth the benefits of...

    My new toy

    Good article. Rifling parameters have always been rather clear as far as twist for caliber, and bullet length. Only our government had problems with that, and they wanted a bullet to be unstable, so on entry, it would tumble, causing more damage then a regular non-expanding bullet. I like...

    My new toy

    It's weird, Clocker, that it's so hard to find a really accurate 9mm. The major problem is usually trigger pull. Brownings are famous for being difficult to get a target trigger. Don't know about CZ's, but what I like about 1911's is so many parts are made for them, that if you need...

    I got to the point that I had spent 3 grand, or, actually, 5500 bucks on their machines, and the POS had crippled PCI bus, and, crippled ide channels, to the tune of half the industry standard, paying nearly twice as much. The dell I bought at the same time, with a 440 BX mobo, is still and 400...

    My new toy

    Clocker: I reloaded, in the 80's, for a number of VERY good shooters. One had a brand new sig 9mm. I remember loading the 115 hps at well over max book specs, trying to give the guy a real handful. Turns out, the rounds didn't even CYCLE his gun. I had to eat the entire batch, replace the...

    My new toy

    Clocker: The truth is, as cheap as 9mm is, it isn't worth reloading, and, when reloading, the damn bullets are too small for my big, fat fingers to easily seat. I might buy a Sig, or CZ 9mm, but just don't see a reason. I like big bullets, and 45 Super is my minimum caliber, other then 22lr...

    My new toy

    Clocker: Hate to say this, but I hate 9mm because I could never find one that shot as well as a Sig Sauer, BDA 45, or, a Detonics, or any, really good, 1911. Roomer has it that Sig 210's used to shoot, and the CZ 75 is supposed to be a great value, and accurate. I'd rather save for a...
