    Can I share a Pre-G4 Technician System Recovery Disk?

    Hello all, long-time reader, first time poster. I was cleaning out some old Mac stuff when I came across something I'd completely forgotten about for decades.

    iM 4,1-14,4 Diary of a freebie A1224 iMac7,1: a project to improve it to its outer limits

    After a mess of posts in The Freebies Thread in the PowerPC Macs forum — post #77 and posts #99 through #125 — I felt it was probably appropriate to give this freebie iMac its own thread and due in its own thread, rather than to monopolize a clearinghouse post (for the variety of free stuff the...

I saw the iPod Hifi a couple years ago in person and became slightly obsessed, both with the design and the sound quality. I went on a...

    Help me troubleshoot a LaserWriter 4/600 PS

    Hello MacRumors community, I am having an issue with a LaserWriter 4/600 that I have managed to keep working all these years until about a month ago.
