I have two such Macs in my Office. One coverterd 512k Mac and one converted Tangereen iMac. We bought them from redlightrunner.com.

I've got a little Mac Classic sitting around gathering dust. I wanted to check out the fish bowls but I didn't see any Macs on the site. I was quite amused by the rare and collectibles though. I wonder if my denim workshirt from the '88 Apple Developers Conference is worth anything?Originally posted by schmosef

Yeah, they keep changing their catalogue. Come to think of it, there was another site (not the one we bought from) that specialized in Mac fish bowls but I forget the url. I'm sure you can find it with google. They sell do-it-yourself conversion kits as well as pre-converted units.
I had a Mac Classic for many years and sold it to a friend when I got my first PC. I've kind of regretted it every since. I didn't really want to sell it to her but I was young and dumb and she was hot and knew just how to lead me on... (Anyway, that's another story).
When I ordered the fish bowls I specifically requested a Classic but got the 512K instead. My elementary school’s principal’s office had a 512K Mac and I used to use it to type stuff during lunch break so the 512K is still pretty high on the nostalgia index for me.Last edited by schmosef; 1 September 2004, 16:36.P.S.

Apple's OS X core (Darwin) runs on x86...Originally posted by schmosef
IIRC, the MS bail out of Apple about ten years ago stipulated that they wouldn't release they x86 based version of OS X. The rumour was that it was pretty well near completion. But you're right Wombat, Apple makes their money on hardware.Comment

Old computers I still have laying around....
An Atari 1040ST, a MegaSTe, Atari TT030. Then my 8-bits... An atari 65XEGS, 130XE and a 800XL.
All of them I've preferred over the Macs I've used Though I haven't used a Mac very much. OSX does kick some major ass in the eye-candy department. I just don't think I could ever get used to a one mouse set up (though I do know you can use mice with multiple buttons on Mac as well...)

I use Solaris and Windows at work. Windows is pretty much just a terminal server for the Sun Servers and something to run outlook on (Because of silly work regulations).
At home I've got an old Sun box as a proxy, a linux server for most other things and a Windows box with a Perhelia for gaming (General RPG stuff) and for opening 50 windows at once on my 21 inch + 2 19s...
Having used all that I finally tried a Powerbook seeing all the unix geeks at work were crowing about them... The 12" Laptop is close to perfect. It's a really beautiful piece of hardware and the OS is great. I find myself trying to use elements of it on everything else I use. I'm finding myself using my Windows box at home less and less as OSX makes the laptop easier to use for most things even with the tiny screen. It's great.
There aren't many games, but I dug out Diablo II and that's been keeping me occupied enough.
I don't see much need for buying a desktop Mac, but their laptops are brilliant.
As for Matrox... My plan is to get a motherboard with 2 16xPCI-Express slots so I can have a Parhelia variant in one and a gaming powerhouse in the other.
It's been annoying me for years that no-one made a motherboard with 2 AGP ports. I know it would've sold great amongst most people I know.Comment

That's because it wasn't possible. The AGP 3.0 specs were the first ones that even made it slightly possible. But two AGP slots would have been a ridiculous amount of traces and pinouts. It would have been a damn expensive board.Originally posted by ThunderFoot

In that case I'm very glad we're finally moving to a system that can support it then.Comment

it could also be pointed out that you won't find a motherboard that has dual 16x PCI-Express slots for a long time. what I have heard about this first generation of boards is that they will look like 16x slots but only have maybe 8 lanes connected...
you will also have to worry about the software for the different cards getting along..."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

That surprises me a little seeing there are multiple companies talking about using 2 PCI-Express graphics cards together to increase performance. Alienware are doing it their own special way using any set of paired cards, but Nvidia were also talking it up as well just for their own stuff.
I doubt either group could do it without 2 16x (Or maybe only 8x to start with) slots.Comment
