30 Days of Old School Computing

has been intrigued by computers since he was five years old, began using Macs in third grade, and has acquired a nice collection of vintage Macs. He learned a lot about getting the most out of them from Low End Mac, and now he's returning the favor so others can get more from their vintage Macs.

Lisa repaired, now preparing for 30 days with black and white Macs, 2006.08.30. Inspired by "30 Days" on FX, Ted Hodges will spend 30 days using just 1-bit black & white Macs.
30 days of old school computing: Setting up a Mac Classic II, 2006.09.07. Fond memories of using a Classic II in elementary school lead to it being the first Mac set up for a month of vintage, very low-end computing.
30 days of old school computing: A partnership and weird network problems, 2006.09.08. Another participant in 'Vintage Mac Survivor' and troubleshooting some very strange server behavior.
30 days of old school computing: Computing at work with a PowerBook 170, 2006.09.08. This vintage Mac laptop's battery still holds a charge, and it's a competent performer for browsing the Web, email, writing, and instant messaging.
30 days of old school computing: Increasing battery life with a RAM disk, 2006.09.14. When using the hard drive, the old battery ran out of juice within 30 minutes, but running from a RAM disk it still has a 50% charge after half an hour.
30 days of old school computing: Getting real work done, 2007.02.19. Personal computers were invented so we could get more work done and be more productive. Doesn't all the eye candy and multimedia just get in the way?
30 days of old school computing: No real hardships, 2006.10.11. These old black-and-white Macs are just fine for messaging, word processing, spreadsheets, scheduling, contact management, and browsing the Web.
