Nerdvana Pt. 2

I went to Sam’s Club today on a lark, and saw the exact same monitor that I had been eyeing at Best Buy earlier that day, for $75 cheaper. Couldn’t not pick it up. My desk is now 24″ more awesome. Watching the Front Row on it looks fantastic. I gotta say I’m happy with it.

Elsewhere… I got my Mac Classic to run. There’s not much to do on it, but maybe I should look into making it useful. It’s still pretty keen.

The banding on the screen isn’t normally visible, that’s just the camera’s image sensor picking up on the refresh rate.

    What in the hell are you going to do on that Mac Classic? Can you play Global Thermal Nuclear War on it?

    I kid!

    I was hoping for some SkiFree or some Oregon Trail. Instead I got PrintSmith which doesn’t even work because it’s a client version that requires a network master version to run. So I deleted it. I think there are some spreadsheets with old customer information though. They should really delete that sort of stuff before they throw these things out.

    I’m seriously considering getting a USB floppy drive for my Mac so I can hunt down ROMs of old games and play ‘em on my classic. Monochrome gaming goodness.

    Sweeet!

    For the classic, I’d put linux on it. If you can. then turn it into a little intranet server. That would be awesome.

    And, can’t get over the overall awesomeness of your new layout. It’s so awesome it’s awesome!
