Daily reminder tha it's not that hard to rice any WM or DE to look and feel like a 90s desktop operating system. XFCE has a ton of Windows 9x themes and MacOS 9 themes.

Does this count as vintage? Even though they had abysmal hinges that cracked from the weight of the screen itself, these things were fucking gorgeous and were one of my favourite laptops to type on.

I have a 15" and a 17" of that model, bought 2nd and 3rd hand. Never saw any with cracking hinges.
I suppose it's all in how you treat them.

I’ve never heard of that problem on PowerBooks before.
Ryan Sullivan
So did you miss the point of the thread or are you just retarded?

Are you literally mentally challenged?

>i never heard about it so it never happened!

I don't know, I just feel like you said something redundant. There are themes for most environments that can emulate retro OSes. Its not even a secret. But I guess you don't understand. Post on...

I had a first-gen MacBook Pro, which was pretty much externally identical. It wasn't bad, I always liked the push-button latch. The early unibodies that replaced it (the ones that actually had replaceable batteries etc.) were a definite improvement though.
Alexander Moore
That's what I said in my first post you brainless dolt. Goddamn you're fucking stupid.

Your 10 year old ThinkPad is not retro.

please tell me it was like that by default and someone somewhere in the world thought about readability instead of mindlessly mimicking old terminals

Fuck off, wangtard. Don't ruin this thread with your stupid OS.

This is not a ricing thread get out reeee
Cooper Harris
Yeah, that's how this works.
Jayden Jackson
Nigga what.
I have been hunting for one of these for ages now.

It was stupidly common on the PowerBook G4 Titanium, but was addressed with the G4 Aluminium that replaced it.

What does oscilloscpe music have to do with retro computing? Vector displays are like SAGE-era computing.

sure, I'm the retard.

This doesn't count as vintage, does it?
Dominic Perry
Glad you understand.
William Hernandez
Where you rich or something grampa?
Ryder Johnson
Oh no no, it was a hand down from Dad's office when he got a new one. This was like the 90s it was fairly outdated at that point.
Robert Myers
Almost, but not quite. Give it another 5-6 years and Pentium III will be *so retro*
Kayden Stewart
I'm not the particular OP you're talking to, but for me, you seem like a retard instead (actually you both do for arguing about this shit).
Jack Morris
Powerbook G4. Not a Macbook

Ha gay
Jacob Clark
I also have a pentium and other old shit, but they are less interesting
Alexander King
Can't argue with that logic.
Haha, I'm the guy he originally called stupid. I just hate redundancy. Its nothing too big. But you're right, and its funny.
Daniel Diaz
Imagine being this bitter over a piece of software

When you realize most of Jow Forums are sheep, you'll see why the same options are echoed in every thread.

Dumb brainlet. Go back to /v/.

Those were the times when mice had trackballs and no scroll wheel.
Blake Campbell
That particular model of mouse is my favourite, Logitech M-S34.
Robert Taylor
I had one of these "pizzaboxes" back then: literally the best computer I've had ever used in my entire life.
It's so sad that nobody is manufacturing good workstations anymore...
Carson White
Spotted the retard that missed the point of the fucking thread.

My first computer was also an IBM PS/2, model 56SX with a 386. Also got it from my dad's office, it was hopelessly out of date by the time it came to me (October 1996). I remember it had 8MB of RAM and ran Windows 3.1 very, very slowly. Used that as my main computer for 4 years before my dad brought home a Pentium Pro machine. Unfortunately the PS/2 got yard sale'd when my family moved in 2004. All I have left from that system are the games and the Model M keyboard it came with.

The Presario in front (You probably mistook it for a rocket) was a Pentium MMX, now has a K6-2. But yeah, the rest are all (some dual, some single) Slot 1 PIIIs.

Where the fuck are your tard wranglers?

Would you like to know more?

I what would have happened if IBM opened up MCA to clones like it did PC and AT standards.
would PCI still have clobbered it? EISA never stood a chance.
Ian King
it was really cool to have that moment of suspense, then you hear the disk grinding and the dots coming on ....
I say moment of suspense because if you got a BSOD, that was at that moment (no disk grinding or dots then)
