progress pic because there is a 7/10 chance one of the kitties will decide to destroy my life’s work in the next 10 mins 😅

it turns out the stamps aren’t 50 years old. most are more like 80+ years old!

@vga256 Neat. I've got stamps dating back from Nederlands-Indonesia (Indonesia while it was still a colony of the Netherlands). Not sure what to do with all that though, I'm sure stamp-collecting is kind of worthless nowadays.

@trinsec haha it is indeed worthless, which makes it even more fun for me!

@vga256 unrelated but what iMac is that?

vga256, 2 months ago

@alicela1n it's a 20-inch G5 non-iSight :)

@vga256 nice, I've got a 1,1 converted into a 2,1 by upgrading the CPU and flashing firmware, it looks very similar

@alicela1n interesting - i've never heard of someone upgrading the cpu. i imagine that was quite a teardown.

@vga256 it was, and sorry I meant 4,1 to 5,1 (confused it with the MacBook models >_<) https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+20-Inch+EMC+2105+and+2118+CPU+Replacement/35350

@alicela1n ahh yes - the intel models do have swappable cpu's. the PPC g5's do not
