    Once Bitten by an Apple (PowerBook 1400, MessagePad 130 and more) April 28th, 2021

    [ Once Bitten by an Apple, or two... (PowerBook 1400, 3400, MessagePad 130, QuickTake 150, 200) ] This wasn't even supposed to happen. I'm certainly not a collector nor do I want to start now but obtaining and using some older Apple products from the mid-90s has proven to be not only incredibly...

    Using your pre-00s Apple equipment in the modern day (and not just for goofing off!)

    Have been using my setup lately to take and edit QuickTake 150/200 pictures, print them on the StyleWriter 2200, save old photos from old QuickTake camera owners such as the picture seen below and send them to InstaGram: These cameras seem to do really well with graffiti and I'm impressed...

    A few shots from the Apple QuickTake Cameras... in 2021 - April 19th, 2021

    [ A few shots from the Apple QuickTake Cameras... in 2021 ] I wonder how I even got here. How did I manage to allow myself to get so far down the digital VGA photography rabbit hole of yesteryear, now with a QuickTake 100, 150 and 200. As to be expected and should be no surprise, the quality...

    Visiting an Apple Computer reseller - The Dream Repository, April 5th, 2021

    Having an interest in older Apple Computers again recently, I managed to find a flea market like thrift shop that was selling specifically Apple Computer gear. That was their whole purpose, to serve the public with affordably priced retro Apple gear. :cool: Much to my surprise, there were...

    The Apple QuickTake 600-4DXE

    Never knew Apple released such a configuration! :p Happy April Fools Day I guess?! I spent a little time this morning making this from scratch in GIMP with a few photo references for fun. Hope you all don't mind... :)

    HP OmniBook 300 find!

    Thanks to your original thread post where I first discovered this lovely machine, I've finally landed one! :D It only took me 5 years but found a nice Omnibook 300 in brand new condition that came from a former Fujitsu engineer. Really pleased with it and hope to manage to figure out how to get...

    The Apple Quicktake 150 from 1995 - Random Accessed Computer Memories,March 24th 2021

    [ The Apple Quicktake 150 from 1995 - Random Accessed Computer Memories, March 24th, 2021 ] About a month ago, I stumbled upon a very alluring Apple PowerBook with color portable Stylewriter 2200 package that glistened the eyes. Maybe it's because I've never owned an Apple laptop but I'm...

    Blogs on VCF (is photo upload mode broken?)

    I toyed around with the idea of writing a blog on here (though it doesn't seem to get very much use/activity) is the photo upload option broken on the forum? I upload a small sized picture and it doesn't proceed to allow you to actually upload it?

    Anyone capable of modernizing DOS Cadstar Gerber files?

    Figure this is a good place to ask as any really. I have a project that I would like to have updated for a PCB mainboard but the files are outdated (was created on DOS Cadstar) and PCB layout software/creation is not in my know-how-to-do list yet. The goal is to eventually have a dozen of these...

    Admiring the Sony VAIO line...

    I've started to find myself fondly fascinated and admiring the older Sony VAIO line. Something I completely overlooked growing up and because the prices seemed extremely high but really appreciating the design and thought put behind them. Particularly the slim line and the early MX series which...

    Tandy Sensation Prices...

    I realize the Tandy Sensation computers are kind of rare as they only appear on eBay occasionally, however, I'm seeing two listed currently being offered for just the computer itself (no monitor or extras) for $1,000 and another for $1,250. Is it just me or do these prices seem incredibly...

    Anyone with a Panasonic AG-500 TV/VCR Combo unit FS?

    As the title suggests, I'm looking for a very well cared for Panasonic AG-500 TV/VCR combo unit. There's one on eBay for $125+ shipping, but for the price would expect it to be cleaner. Thanks

    Photos of your computers from the 70s/80s/90s - Post Them Here!

    I have one from the 90s but I'll have to find it to post it. Would love to see some pictures from others and their computers/setups throughout the years in the past. Looking forward to seeing some!
