Hello supporters! Today, we're installing Sorbet Leopard on the Big Chungus Cube to try and get the best possible Minecraft performance for VCF East next week.

Hello Patreon friends! Lets get the TAM ready for VCF East by fixing a few remaining issues - new install of BeOS so Doom works right, and we'll get the DosDude1 card working! Oh, and we'll install some silly stuff on there.

I was at VCF East this weekend - absolutely amazing. World famous soldering wizard Colin Mistr (aka DosDude1) was there too, and performed a world-first upgrade to a very special Macintosh. Full story coming soon, but see if you can guess what exactly is going on here ???? (I know I saw a lot of you there - no cheating!!)

Hi Patreon friends! I picked up a really neat terminal at VCF East... but it doesn't work. Let's fix it! Also, Sol-20 update. It was so awesome seeing some of you there!!

Let's try to get an OS X installer booting on the G3 TAM. I'm sure it's probably super easy.

Hello Patreon friends! I found a Rev B iMac G3, which is PERFECT for a super secret upgrade that I might spoiler in this here bonus video... It's not totally happy though. Let's check it out!

Hello Patreon friends! I found a tiny potato of a computer - a Psion 5mx with 16mb of RAM and 32 whole megahertz! Let's check it out, have some fun with it, and of course - run DOOM.

Hello Patreon friends! I recently picked up way too many Zenith Supersport laptops. Like, an unreasonable amount. And boy howdy are they ever in a state. Will we ever get any of them to run ELKS Linux?!

Hello Patreon Friends! Today, let's solve that flickery iMac screen once and for all with a BRAND NEW flyback transformer! Plus, we'll test out the HARMONi in a different revision iMac, to see if it really won't work - or if that's just an old time urban legend. Flyback link: https://t.co/QficJW8062

Hello Patreon friends! Remember that funny Hand386 we were messing around with? Well, it grenaded itself. Come watch my ill-fated experiments, and my attempts to resuscitate it.

Hello Patreon friends! Time to break out some SGI goodness. I've had an Indigo2 for a while, and I just recently picked up another from a friend. It's slightly faster! Let's crack them open and check 'em out.

Hello Patreon friends! Holy cow did I find some cool stuff at the VCF East June 2023 swap meet. Let's check it out together!

Hello Patreon friends! I just got an SGI Indigo2 10000 IMPACT, a nearly top-of-the-line machine. However, it was sold as "untested" - which we all know means "definitely doesn't work". Let's tear into it, and see if we can find any shenanigans lurking inside!

Hello supporters! My Libretto started chewing through SD cards, so I want to replace that with the perfect bootable CF card adapter. Plus, let's goof around with my new full size dock!

Hello Patreon friends! I recently got wind of an IPS display that's supposedly a drop in replacement for the Hand386. So, let's drop it in!

I found an iMac G3 with a touch screen! Come join me mid-tinkering and let's see what's up with this thing!

An old high school friend contacted me about another old friend, who was clearing out his grandfather's workshop. What I found was incredible...

Hello Patreon friends! Steve and I fixed BOTH of the dead Macintosh TVs I recently found! Ok well fine... STEVE fixed them and I hung around and cracked jokes.

Hello Patreon friends! Let's check out the cool stuff I picked up at the VCF East Swap Meet 2023!

Hello Patreon friends! Today I've got something goofy for you - I've been hanging on to an ancient South Park fan "game" I wrote as a young angsty high school junior! Let's walk through it in excruciating, cringey detail.

I went with Mac84 to a house in Philly, which had an absolute hoard of late 90's NEC and Zenith systems that had been sitting in the basement since probably the very early 2000s. These apparently had been purchased as government surplus by someone who then passed away shortly after. Let's test the four very cool machines I picked up!
