/cyb/ - Cyberpunk Fiction and Fact

I have kind of a fetish for old Macs and Mac operating systems, because that's what I grew up on. I mostly run things on emulators for convenience, but I have a Mac Plus, an original iMac from 2000, a Color Classic, and I used to have a Performa but it died on me. I'm hoping to track down a Mac LC like the first machine my family ever had.
Unfortunately running older hardware can be kind of a pain in the ass so like I said, most of the time I just run an emulator on a modern system, but I really enjoy running old software on old equipment.

I have freedos installed on a partition, it's very very comfy. The OS and the programs. If only I could get soundblaster support on this laptop.

I have a Personal System/2 but the clock is dead and I don't feel comfortable replacing it.

I also have a home computer that I don't have a CRT for.

I'm interested in using older computers so I can browse the internet with out the kikerosoft tracking everything I do.

I don't imagine using an old computer or OS because video games and software/hardware improvements are actually amazing

What for? Just get a CRT. If you're lucky you can pick up a high-end one for cheap
