This was the BIGGEST VCF Midwest yet! 💥

Join me as I take a look back at #VCFMW18 and see who I met, what I shoved in my luggage and how HUGE the free pile got!

After many test builds and case design tweaks, my first batch of new PowerBook 1XX (140-180c) batteries is now available for sale:

I have a small number of salvaged battery doors if your PowerBook doesn't have an old battery with one to swap over.

Happy Birthday to my YouTube channel I guess!🎂

It has turned 6 years old (on September 25th to be exact), neat!

Thanks for all the views, likes and subscriptions - and a special big thanks to all my supporters! 🥳

I have some questions...

Please write your US legislator to support the Humane Cosmetics Act https://secured.humanesociety.org/page/86971/action/ 🐰

Rabbits are some of the most abused animals on Earth. Dumped as Easter gifts, used for food, clothing and tested on...

Here I am with a very lucky lab bunny who we were able to rescue a few years ago.

Sadly the remaining rabbits were euthanized. The lab simply refused to let us have them and it haunts me to this day.

Please share this to end this barbaric practice! ❤️

Some very stubborn Macs refused to be fixed... so let's beat our heads against the desk until they change their minds! 🔥

A new build of the Mini vMac emulator brings BlueSCSI disk image support and no longer "pauses" the emulator when your cursor isn't in the window. This is so very useful! 🎉

Well, this is an interesting piece of software. Behold the Kodak Mac photographer! 💾✨

It appears to be an emulator to help you learn how to use a Kodak film camera. It lets you select your lens and film type, etc. Pretty neat for 1993!

I spent part of my birthday picking up nearly a dozen floppy disk storage boxes from a local sale. So yeah... a totally normal day!

Thanks for all the cool bday wishes and such! 🎂💾

I hope you folks like random MIDI stuff and Roland, Galaxy Plus, and Sequencing stuff! 💾🎵

I archived someone's 28 disk collection in Applesauce A2R format (as some disks seemed to have copy protection), but at least they are archived now!✨

ENJOY? 🤷‍♂️

Did anyone else grab the second Data Deck at VCF MW? That other box had the manuals in it and I’d love to scan them in.

mac84tv, 8 months ago to random

That was close! 😳

I can’t leave behind these sad PowerBooks 😂

I should be packing before VCF Midwest, but instead I'm poking at dead PowerBooks! 🙃 Join me!

I’ll be at VCF Midwest next weekend, I cannot wait! I hope to see you all there. 😊

I’ll be at my buddy @RonsCompVids 's table - so be sure to stop by as say hello! 👋

Since I had luck on a client's PowerBook 100, I thought I'd try and repair my own tonight...

and well... EEP! 🔥🫣

I'm SUPER excited... this weekend I've successfully hacked this Kodak Reels 8mm film digitizer, allowing me to modify the firmware to decrease the horrible default video compression. This produces much better results! 🥳
