Durosity’s conquests and collection
Posted by: VMSZealot on 2026-06-09 06:11:36 I think there are four cartridges to play with - you should be fine deforming at least one! Just don't breathe in the toner!
Posted by: mg.man on 2026-06-09 07:05:09 Just don't breathe in the toner! Why not?
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-09 07:11:13 Just don't breathe in the toner!
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-09 07:14:02 But you'll have to deform it first to find out the threshold 😀 I have several toners to experiment with. Of course the question is time, and executive dysfunction control. So many things I WANT to do.. I promise I won't actually take advantage 😛 Aww! I love having junk dumped on me.

Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-09 07:31:38 You need like a team of apprentices to manage your projects. I need the ability to focus. Unmedicated inattentive ADHD is a right pain in the backside. I feel so utterly useless, slow, and pathetic most days. The occasional day when I can actually focus on one thing are joyous. Fortunately I've had more good days than bad lately, so I'm riding the wave as long as I can. I finally got my PowerBook Duo 2300c recapped and rebuilt today.. a job I've been wanting to get done for well over a year!

Posted by: croissantking on 2026-06-09 08:04:58 View attachment 99925 Well done mate, that's a lovely machine to get restored. The off-centered LCD is quirky and very un-Apple, but adds character.
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-09 08:48:03 off-centered LCD is quirky and very un-Apple As best I’m aware it’s the only one that’s off-centre.
Posted by: finkmac on 2026-06-09 09:00:33 550c also has an off-centre display iirc.
Posted by: croissantking on 2026-06-09 09:06:46 550c also has an off-centre display iirc. Wow, never noticed that
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-09 09:34:08 550c also has an off-centre display iirc. Nah it’s dead centre too.
Posted by: croissantking on 2026-06-09 09:38:45 Nah it’s dead centre too. It's left shifted. Look at the screen compared to the speakers and the hinges.
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-09 10:40:43 Oh so it is! It’s only ever so slight though.. not as noticeable as on the 2300!
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-15 03:53:43 I found this in the book section of one of my local charity shops for 99p. Quite interesting.. seems to be a HyperCard version of the book. I believe it also pre-dates the movie!
Posted by: Phipli on 2026-06-15 04:33:37 You've done the community a solid by taking on that LaserWriter. There can't be many around. Hope you can fix it! They have an interesting processor, they're basically the grandchild of a 8•24 GC. 🙂
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-15 12:18:47 They have an interesting processor, they're basically the grandchild of a 8•24 GC. 🙂 Great.. I'll shove it inside my IIfx 😀
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2026-06-15 12:32:26 Great.. I'll shove it inside my IIfx 😀 one of the many revolutionary things about that machine was that it is bigger on the inside than the outside
Posted by: Phipli on 2026-06-15 12:40:31 one of the many revolutionary things about that machine was that it is bigger on the inside than the outside Great.. I'll shove it inside my IIfx 😀 Hum, are you thinking of the IIds?
Posted by: Durosity on 2026-06-15 13:06:10 The IIfx is actually an inverse Tardis. It's bigger on the outside than on the inside. I know.. it messes with your head.
