High school ran from '89 to '94 for me - we had Macs (Plus, SE/30, later LC, LCII and LCIII) in computer labs in those years - mainly used for using basic desktop applications, learning Pascal programming and Hypercard. In the first couple of years of HS I also used Atari 1040STs for MIDI work in …

As a stay-at-home dad I thought I'd have heaps of time for hobbies - turns out not to be the case! Have always wanted to play the guitar properly, so bought an electric, but find myself playing around with a toy ukelele more often :D My dad has recently rekindled my interest in model trains, and …

Having progressed a P233MMX build to a reasonable state, just installed Need For Speed:Special Edition and started playing it in DOS (no Windows installed yet). Need to work out how to get high detail settings, as it looks terrible with current settings (10MB XMS just to get it going).

I've been organising my games collection into 'Display Worthy', 'Keep but Pack Away', and 'Sell'. Here are the display worthy ones - the empty place in the middle is where Command and Conquer lives, but it's a fave so is often out to play. http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g330/rjheard/DSCN2323_ …

If you want a PCI SATAII adapter check out the Highpoint 1740 (Check out http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/cs-series_rr1700.htm). I have one of these in use on an old P4, currently running an SSD, but has previously run 2x1TB WD Blacks in RAID0, bootable as well. Somewhat limited transfer rates …
