Lingraphica PowerBook 180

"A Lingraphica branded Powerbook 180 gifted to my unofficial vintage Apple support collection at UW-Madison. The Lingraphica app uses pictograms to create speech for people with communications difficulties. This laptop was not used very much, as the…"

"Whoa. That's kinda cool and creepy at the same time! The face reminds me of the autopilot from "Airplane!". :D"

Photo Zeitgeist

The number of available gigabytes on my Mac keeps dwindling thanks to how easy it is to process photos on a Mac. I had to spring for an external NAS (1 terabyte mirrored RAID), but I still hover around 20gb on my main machine.

An abandoned Ford truck found in a barn in La Grange, Wisconsin. A coworker gave me a tip on how to find…

I Heart iPhoto

I invested in a Canon XSi in early January. The investment has proven productive, as I have already snapped as many photos in two months as I did all of 2009. I have been using iPhoto more intensely too. It may be time to make the switch to Aperture soon.

I volunteer two hours a week at a local no-kill cat shelter called…

Urban Exploration - Another Hobby I'm Passionate About

I love Macs. You love Macs. Everyone here at the RMC website loves Macs as a hobby. One of my other favorite hobbies is Urban Exploration... or Urbex for short. If you aren't familiar with the activity it can best be described as such. The infiltration of abandoned buildings. In early 2007 when RMC was still ironing the kinks of producing a high quality podcast I was living in Marburg an der Lahn, about an hour north of Frankfurt, Germany. In between Frankfurt and Marburg was a small town… Continue

The Job Search

Over the past three months I've been toiling in vain to find a job. The closest jobs that I could apply to with my teaching license meant a 100 mile commute to work. As the months ticked by I started applying to anywhere with an opening - US Cellular, Verizon, Veritas Security and other chain stores. Not a single one of them ever called back.

Three weeks ago I was invited to a barbeque and met an individual who manages the computer technology on UW Whitewater's campus. We got to… Continue

IIgs Remote Boot - Success!

Last week I managed to get a copy of AppleShare Server 3.0. This version has the ability to remote boot an Apple IIgs or IIe with a Workstation Card. I installed it onto my Macintosh Classic with 4mb of RAM running System 7.0.1.

The install process was not entirely smooth. The server software installed without a hitch. The included "Apple II Setup" v2.2 disk did not want to play nice. Luckily Apple has version 3.0 on their Older Software… Continue

Who needs friends when you have a Macintosh?

At 7:40am on December 13, 2007, Ken said…: Spotlight + ("Jimmy Hoffa" + "Body") = Problem Solved

At 11:57am on December 13, 2007, Ken said…: Q: Why do you still use an Apple II?
A: I'm safe from anything involving two females and a drinking device.

At 8:35pm on December 13, 2007, James said…: So what is that thing you're wielding in your photo?

At 2:18pm on December 17, 2007, Ken said…: WHY is there a bottle of poisonous Iodine from a school district 15 miles from here in the Mac lab I take care of?!

At 12:00pm on December 18, 2007, John said…: It is not Apple?

At 9:14am on December 25, 2007, John said…: This is about the only day of the year that I miss the snow in Wisconsin. A very Merry Christmas to you as well!

At 9:38pm on January 9, 2008, April said…: Hello Domo! I love your picture!

At 8:24am on April 12, 2008, Josh said…: Ken! Thank you for coming to see WTM in Wisconsin! So what parts did you find interesting or funny? We would be lying if we said we did not intend to make it as humorous and light hearted as possible. We would love the feedback! Thanks again! - Josh
