Circadian

I’m not entirely sure what’s wrong with me. I have great high-tech devices in my home. Why am I so interested in something that does less?

I read an article two days ago lauding the forward thinking (at the time) Mac Portable – essentially a Mac Plus in a sixteen pound carry case with an LCD screen. The next day, a discussion of Mac Plus love. And both made me a little wistful, thinking about the fun to be had by putting together a machine like that, from craigslist and ebay purchases and making it do useful work.

I have an old PowerMac 6400 in the basement. It’s not quite in the same league as those others in terms of antiquity, but it’s certainly old. Maybe I’ll bring it out this evening, after I’ve cleaned the living room, and set it up again. I’m not sure if I can make it do much, but really, isn’t that the point?
