Congratulations on this 3rd b-day. Hope you will rock the podcast on for many years to come.
The clear eMate is really cool...
Phat row !
That was my first Mac in 1990 when I entered College in the USA.
Right now, I have two, but one is a MacAquarium.
I love playing PT 109 and ShufflePuck on the SE.
I'm bookmarking this one!
Thanks
Wow! What an awesome resource. It's going to be fun delving into the past by reading those old posts.

That's exactly what I meant - you brought it to the point.
Don't dream it, do it.
And yours is a nice collection anyway.
Trust me, I'm no chemist :D
If I was able to do it, anyone else can pull it off.
Put the stuff in a mixer, brush it on, let the sun shine on, then admire and smile.
The chemistry behind this is of the easier kind,
but you don't have to understand it.
You put it on, wait a while, use a lot of water then - that's all.
I have seen the discussion on Retr0bright. Looks complicated to me, I failed Chemistry by a long way! LOL
There were standard functions installed, like copying and inserting, deleting and saving, not too useful IMO.
For Photoshop and many more applications, the usual shortcuts do the same.
These overlays are an interesting part of computer history.
I ha…
You used to be able to get plastic overlays that showed what the function keys did. I remember using one for QuarkXPress.
I've never gotten what the plastic nubs next to the esc and power buttons were there for.........
Some of us collectors have rooming problems sooner or later,
so the collected items must be smaller, here is my starting effort:

All my Macs are treated by Retr0bright. It's amazing. Yellowing goes away, and plastic looks brand new.
It's even an obsession now. As soon as I get a new Mac, I can't bear to look at it until yellowing is gone.

- I recently saved about 130 Amiga disks from the garbage and want a computer to use them with. What do you think I should look for ? 64, 500, 1200 ?
