Bought myself some knackered old power Macintosh computers to mess with this week. Beige Love! Ha ha
Wondering if anyone else out that has a soft spot for some old system 7.1 or 8.1 use.
I've got myself a crusty 7300/200 and a 7200/90 parts machine to restore. Going to setup back to what I used to have years back and maybe play a few old game on it, maelstrom, lemmings etc. Write a few letters ! ha ha ha
Some history, I used to have a collection of old Macs, before I met my wife and took on a child All good, but the room of Macs and cupboard of spares had to go to make room for a bunkbed and kids clothes and toys etc. Now, that was some 17 years ago now, and my step son is all grown up and living in London at university, finding old emacs and things left on the street to save
So, time to get back some beige wonders and see whats what, 17 years later
I've read recently that certain types of peroxide hair bleach are good for cleaning and restoring yellowed cases (for all sorts of 16 bit retro cases) so will be giving that a go to
Pics to follow when the 'crap' arrives
cheers all
