Macintosh 2004 Case Mod
NOTD665 writes "'On January 24 [1984], Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984."' This was the pronouncement at the end of Apple's commercial, which TV Guide magazine would later deem the greatest commercial of all time. Aired during the 1983 Super Bowl, the now famous Apple Macintosh '1984' commercial informed the world that the age of modern, home PCs was coming. Get ready. Here comes the Mac... Finally, one fateful day in December, the Mac's slumber was awoken yet again. It was time for the Mac to be reborn." Too bad it doesn't run Mac OS X.
im a troll. w00t?
where we, matey's, raid every 'ShipArticle' sailing our way, by stiling their virgin 'Post' *aarr arrrghh* matey's.
I don't claim I know more than I know, and if you know you know more than I know, then by all means, let me know.
ya well it sucks.
Next time you want to put something on the internet that you feel proud of send it here. There is no reason a waste of time like this is on slashdot, it's not that impressive. Nor is it an Apple topic it's a PC. WTF?
Timothy sucks.
That is not a mac 128k. That mac is NOT 20 years old. This is really weak. putting a PC in it? oh please - this is not hard at all. why does anyone with a digital camera and time on there hands (read: no ingenuity) get time on slashdot.
i personally think what this guy did was pretty cool. i might have put in a lcd, but a lot of us don't have the cash to scrap a new MAC or buy lcd. the job the guy did probably cost around $600 anyway, and for a guy like me, thats a lot.
That useless bitch just does what she's told, don't be under ANY illusion about that.
That was classic intercourse!
truly, this person understands the Mac ideal
ps: ianat, etc. etc.
Brown By Robert Peston, City Editor (Filed: 25/01/2004) Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and the world's wealthiest man, is to receive an honorary knighthood for "services to global enterprise". The recommendation that he receive the honour was made by the Chancellor, Gordon Brown. Buckingham Palace is expected to announce it tomorrow, when Mr Gates will speak at a conference on "Advancing Enterprise" organised by Mr Brown. Bill Gates, who is to receive an honorary knighthood The controversial software company creator - whose commercial success has led to hatred of him among his competitors - is worth an estimated $40 billion (22 billion). Microsoft is described as the "Evil Empire" by those who resent its grip on the computer industry. Other Americans to have received the KBE include George Bush, the former president, Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, Steven Spielberg, the film director, and Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank. Mr Greenspan is another speaker at tomorrow's conference. The event has prompted resentment in the Prime Minister's close circle, who knew nothing about it until a fortnight ago. They are annoyed that the conference - which gathers together luminaries from the business and political worlds including Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank, Sir Terry Leahy, chief executive of Tesco, and Lord Browne, chief executive of BP - is taking place in Tony Blair's most difficult week since he became Prime Minister in 1997. "On the eve of Hutton and the university fees vote, this is Brown saying, 'Look at all my powerful friends'," said a Downing Street adviser. Mr Gates has been a notable donor to charities and good causes. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was created in 2000 to improve "equity in global health and learning". He has donated nearly $26 billion to the foundation. The foundation set up a 139 million scholarship scheme three years ago to attract the brightest students to Cambridge University. It has also invested millions of dollars in research for an Aids vaccine. 17 January 2004: Cook buries hatchet to back Brown 16 January 2004: Blair faces make-or-break 24 hours Previous story: Alert as sick Mugabe flies to South Africa Next story: Campbell told PM: 'Cherie must be silenced'
"The point of the project was to display the real first modern home PC revived twenty years after it's original conception. That's it. "
I'm sorry, but that's not good enough for our sophisticated tastes. Now pipe down, the next flamebait Microsoft story should be here any minute now.
"Derp de derp."
Guys, it looks like ass.
That's a bit of revisionist history... The first "real" laptops (386 and up) that I saw with 640x480 had 10.3 inch screens... then you went up to 12 inch screens for 800x600. Any modern PC is pretty much useless in anything less than 1024x768; except special-use PCs like my PVR/MAME box, which drives my TV at 640x480. It's ugly, but it works well enough. Yes, they make 6-9 inch 640x480 LCDs, but you have to get close, which was the point of my post.
And I'm sorry that putting a PC in his old Mac case is considered "sacrilege" to all you cult worshippers still inside the Reality Distortion Field. "If it ain't a Mac, it's clearly crap!" That's the rallying cry, isn't it? Guess I shouldn't show you this!
