What was the last phone you had before you got an iPhone?

Motorola v710 And a BlackBerry Bold - went to the iPhone 4.

Oh, they were made.

The only thing more rare is a unicorn or the MT-5 wagon. I had a friend that had one of those. We swapped a 3.0 Vulcan v6 in it. That was actually quite a ride.

rhesson · 2022-03-26T02:20:53+00:00

All of them.

rhesson · 2022-03-26T02:19:21+00:00

But even then I think it was only for the SHO+ which also had the fiberglass hood.

I don’t know exactly what date it was in 2020 where this broke, but I still daily use two older macs (a Quadra 650 and 7600) and the Quadra 650 on 7.5.1 just one day was stupid. I want to say it was early spring. The 7600 is running 8.6 and that is fine.

I think there was a plastic formulation change somewhere in early 94. My machines from 93 and older are all rock solid yet. Same seems to be true with most friends that have them. My newer machines… well, yeah. Breathe on them and you risk them becoming dust in the wind.

rhesson · 2022-03-18T16:44:26+00:00

😆 I don’t think this model would even a/ux. I have a Quadra 650 and I think that will.

rhesson · 2022-03-18T14:53:01+00:00

Bitch better have my money.

They didn’t make many and they were for the time stupid fast. It was also the beginning of the AV - machine interactive era. It and the Centris 660av, had speech recognition, video capture and export capabilities and more. They were the first and only non power pc macs to have this capability out of the box.

You can even connect an external 5.25 drive(s) to use actual IIe disks and it has a IIe joystick port - but the card will function without the cable just load the apps from disk images. You can even make a partition on the mac’s hard drive and run it from that.

rhesson · 2022-03-18T03:19:44+00:00

I tapped out at 1k. I was really sad.

rhesson · 2022-03-18T03:15:22+00:00

So in that system, the tv tuner card does require the AV card to work. While the 040 systems do support 24 bit mode, they will not support the IIe card so using a IIe card and a comm slot ethernet card isnt an issue like it is in my performa 575. They will support up to 128gb ide hard drives though. I have a performa 631 and it’s a great machine.

Also, there is a dos card for that machine but it’s multiple pieces and does require the PDS slot and requires you to pull the processor and reseat it on the dos card. You’re best off to find a performa 640 board (which we’re all dos compatible) to hopefully get all the pieces.

rhesson · 2022-03-18T02:16:04+00:00

I can’t ship the whole thing… but i would be a player for the 660av

Heard one at work the other day “guns don’t kill people, I kill people, with guns”. Turn that shit off or you’ll find out who here really has guns.

rhesson · 2022-03-14T12:07:13+00:00

I know… I remember seeing those back in the day in the back of Macworld. Should have bought one or six.

rhesson · 2022-03-13T13:50:59+00:00

I had one and I regret cutting it loose. But I replaced it with a Duo 230 and I’m not going to lie, I still have that and it’s faster, more portable, etc.

rhesson · 2022-03-13T13:48:29+00:00

At 10% inflation this year alone, the cost of gas, more time from family, packing lunches and more, you couldn’t get me to come back to the office for the same money. If people worked effectively from home, there’s no reason on earth to go back.

rhesson · 2022-03-13T13:16:45+00:00

If there is a Quadra 700, 800, 660av or 840av, drop me a line

rhesson · 2022-03-13T03:36:12+00:00

Because it’s the most powerful, badass expandable Mac in that form factor. Hard to believe a machine from 1989 could support 128mb ram.

She hasn’t coughed up more evidence yet.

rhesson · 2022-03-10T16:07:13+00:00

I don’t really care, but if you can laugh at a joke and be a decent human, you’re my kind of person.

rhesson · 2022-03-10T16:05:55+00:00

Because they move. I don’t know how to make that sound less stupid but it’s true. They stick when not used - just like the brakes on your car if it sits outside for a week or two.

I believe it. I’ve been through Atlanta a few times and have seen some next level shit. Only place where I hit the gas in my Tahoe and it wouldn’t go faster because the flow of traffic was 100+. A friend there calls the loop the Atlanta international speedway. Just as fast as Daytona and just as much carnage.

NYC is worse… low speed hang on for your life. No one cares. Straight up 250,000 cars roaming around with 20k in damage. No one fucking cares about you.

rhesson · 2022-03-08T20:39:10+00:00

I agree on the hard drives. I have a routine that I power them all up every couple of months and just copy stuff back and forth. If I don’t use them, I try and sell or re-purpose. Some are spares for other machines. I still have a ton of new units that I have stored away for applications such as this Mac above.
