Is it wrong to get excited??
by Joseph Oprysko 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

I just setup a Mac LocalTalk network, and I'm so thrilled and excited about it. Yes, it's only a Mac SE and an SE/30, each with 4mb of ram (the SE/30 originally had 8 and the SE had 1, but I played the great equalizer!). Last year at VCFeX I picked up a couple of LocalTalk adapters, even though at that time, I had no use for them. In '09 at a flea market I had picked up the 25' sealed LocalTalk cable, but finally, it all came together. Would anyone happen to have an ImageWriter ribbon re-inker? I've bought 2 different ones from online and both turned out to be "vintage" aka dry as a bone. I have 2 ribbons and could cheaply pick up some ink. I know Office Depot sells them, they are the last place I can try, but I'd like to have the option of reinking rather than wasting all of that plastic and ribbon -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?

vintagecomputer.net updates

In parallel with the new vcf fed site I updated vintagecomputer.net too, let me know what you think - should be fully responsive. Looks especially good in a phone, which was driving me crazy as this is how I often search for things. This site is my own template design with bootstrap as the underlying CSS. http://www.vintagecomputer.net and if you need any web design...see degnanco.net -- Bill

by James Garland 02 Jan '16

Hello everyone, After much struggle my Apple IIe is up and running! Unfortunately I'm in a software drought. I just have the system utilities and DOS 3.3 at the moment. I'm looking for some games for the system. I'm based in NYC, and am willing to drive within 45mins-1hr. Does anyone have any games they're looking to sell? You can contact me at my email or here, I don't care which. Thanks, James Garland

Workday report
by Evan Koblentz 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Dean, his son Drew, Jeff B., and I had an workday at the museum warehouse today. We were there from about 10:15am until 6:00pm. We got a huge amount of warehouse organizing done! We built and filled six or seven shelving carts. These included units devoted to printers, Epson, Heathkit, and a bunch of other stuff. Now, what we used to call "the messy side" of the warehouse is mostly clean and orderly. We still need another few workdays before the warehouse is fully clutter-free, and then we'll bring up all the stuff neglected in the basement storage room of the main InfoAge "hotel" building. We also stopped at the bank for Brace and I to handle some business stuff, and Tony stopped by to pick up the last of the tables that he loaned to us at Festivus. So it was an extremely productive day. We even took out a big amount of trash. Thanks to those who helped.
