Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-09-14 00:51:10 No need unless you need to be rid of it. I still have some Plus action for you whenever you get a chance. We are still square in regard to that deal.
Posted by: CC_333 on 2013-09-14 00:53:45 Aww! I was going to get that one, but I got busy 🙁 Oh, well. I've got too much stuff as it is. I'm glad you're getting it back into shape, though! c
Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-09-14 00:56:20 Yep. I want to pair it with a Portrait display for the gallery shoot! The seller ended up being a former Apple QA tester. The machine was in pretty good shape aside from an acceptable amount of yellowing and the bad trace on UE13
Posted by: insaneboy on 2013-09-18 10:19:40 came close to getting one of those modem port serial cards for my B&W G3 back in the day. ended up moving and unable to get high-speed internet so I needed the modem. Got a USB to serial instead(which I still have)
Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-09-19 16:28:41 The IIci cleaned up nicely.
Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-09-19 16:38:02 The portrait display compliments the IIci well!
Posted by: MinerAl on 2013-09-19 16:39:35 Very sharp.
Posted by: Paralel on 2013-09-19 17:17:41 Looks as though they were meant for one another.
Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-09-19 18:52:24 Looks can be deceiving. I saw that setup once in a movie and wanted one forever thereafter. I finally got it and I set up WordWright on one side of my three sided workstation in the shop. The dang thing puts the Display too high for comfort and the half inch lower deck on the DuoDock is still too high. The Q605 looks very 😎 sitting pretty under the Portrait, but the height and angle don't work well, too low really. Works a bit better on the sloped deck of the LC475, but I'm thinking the IIsi may be the perfect Portrait stand. It makes sense in a way, the Portrait is the only decent, usable screen resolution offered by the vampire video subsystem of the IIsi and word processing would be its strong suit.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-09-19 21:49:30 Very nice work! Looks like it just rolled out of the factory. Funny the keyboard on the side is much dirtier :lol:
Posted by: uniserver on 2013-09-19 22:42:01 i think that 1970's wood paneling is pretty nice 😛 is there shag carpet to match?

Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-09-20 00:07:08 Nah, I ripped it all out myself.
Posted by: uniserver on 2013-09-20 00:37:03 mcdermd you are such an animal 🙂 is there anything you don't do?
Posted by: wthww on 2013-09-20 09:21:19 Nice, job mcdermd. On a side note, are you OK uniserver? I don't particularly care about what someone does in his or her free time, but innuendo like that may not be appropriate for the MLA. Shad carpets, animals... next we'll be talking about closets! //wthww
Posted by: Paralel on 2013-09-20 09:45:28 Nice setup, McD
Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-09-20 09:55:58 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shag_%28fabric%29 Is the Kegerator Avocado or Harvest Gold? Personally, I'd go with a Mid-Century Modern, FORMICA as the coolest new high-tech material design aesthetic. :approve: Have you tried using the Portrait/IIci setup yet? What do you think about the height in terms of ergonomics? :?:
Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-09-20 10:08:53 Waiting on a cable. I'm hoping it works. It's the 13W3 --> 15-pin cable for the 21" color monitor.
Posted by: uniserver on 2013-09-20 10:34:05 FORMICA the wife wants a concrete house 🙂 I don't particularly care about what someone does in his or her free time all my free time has been going toward fixin old mac's are you OK uniserver? mostly 🙂
Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-09-20 10:41:22 :lol: Everywhere but between you ears, uni? I hear that's going around. 😉 It's the 13W3 --> 15-pin cable for the 21" color monitor. Doubtful, but there is a way to convert it to Portrait mode, had to do that with a cable that was supposed to work with both.
