SS20s are expensive here for some reason I'll never understand. So are Commodore 64s, inexplicably.

I've swapped a full 040 into an LC475 before, it made a beast out of that relatively slow machine. I don't think I have any 040s left unless I want to cannibalize that LC475 again.

I needed to remind myself that the last time I used an SS20 in a real environment was nearly 20 years ago. :negative:

No. You want a QuadDoubler 040 at 50Mhz, which is an in-place replacement not an 040LC replaced with an 040. I did the same LC040->040 in an LC475 before- and when I got sick of playing Full Throttle, used it as an MRTG/NOCOL box. It wasn't faster for anything else. I put a QD 040 in the Slab (because it was the rare revision that fit, even with the daughterboard that fit without hardware modifications).

The YOSPOS A/UX box I made out of the local TV station's old titling box Quadra 650 has one of those QuadDoublers and 128MB(+8MB onboard), but I haven't booted it up in like 2 years.

I used a Performa 6116CD (with MaxPowr G3 240) through serial as the terminal, but the Quadra had onboard Ethernet (AAUI!) and a backup Asante card. I would love to use the Apple ][ but I don't have a terminal disk for it :(


edit: I haven't touched this stuff in years but I do have a mint LC with monitor I got a few weeks ago, I have MacWrite and everything. I already put a Quadra 605 board in it!

Oh yeah poo poo, I remember the QuadDoubler. I doubt A/UX supports a SCSI to LocalTalk adaptor because A/UX doesn't support dick poo poo.

I also need to pony up the money so poor DJ Commie can send me all the stuff he saved from his job as a computer junkyard operator.

I managed to make it back to the car before I broke down and started sobbing. It's what needed to happen, but gently caress I'm still sad about it. I need a fuckin drink.

I went Mac just to learn it in the System X days. NeXT, because it was awesome in the 040 days. Amiga? Well, shuttup your face. I had a PowerUP G3/233 w/ an 060/60, modded libraries and VGA/SCSI card. I wasn't the worlds' biggest Amiga fan, but the hacky hardware was awesome. Where else would you get a SCSI controller/Video output/RAM/Ethernet/Clock card? :v:

I've realized I actually have no local friends anymore :sigh: I moved to NYC with the girlfriend( well, new rochelle but we both work in the city so whatever same poo poo) and a few of my old friends from highschool live here, but they all flaked out several times we were supposed to hang out. It's not like I'd really have time to hang out anyways, but it just kind of sucks :\. Also blows not having any work space for my car/bike, but I guess thats why I sold all my beaters and got new(er) poo poo.

The city owns pretty hard otherwise though.

Next time we have an NEAI meet you should come up and hang out, were all friendly and not toooo goony, haha.

New information. Sunday she told her mom she feels guilty tha i love hr so much and I never give up on her and she said she felt the only way to spare me was pushinge away. Monday rebooked back into treatment. Tuesday was told that in theprogram she neeeded to place herself before family and loved ones. Wednesday was her interpretation of her plan to spare me. Last saturday her rehab friend almost succeeded at suicide and she was there when it happend. And im remembering she started a new antidepressant like last week maybe.

The overkill was planned ahead to make sure that i had no choice but to leave. Her only remaining link to reach to in her life is her mom who she hates. Im legit worried with all that together in the last week right after an attempt.

Welp, got paid today, went to the bank to deposit it through the ATM (as I have been doing for 3 years now). Check goes in, it processes for an unusually long period of time before kicking me to my balance screen without giving me a receipt. Balance shows nothing has been deposited. Okaaaayyy...go inside, speak to the teller. They say that their system shows the deposit going into my account and then was immediately withdrawn and apparently flung into the loving ether and their system has no routing number for the check either. Long story short I'm not getting my money until monday at the earliest, possibly later depending on how long their "investigation" takes place. :sigh: I have like $20 in my account and a quarter tank of gas, plus bills that are past due. This is basically the last thing I needed this weekend. gently caress computers man, I'm gonna go smash some looms or something.

Well, they also pretty well demonize liberal & performing arts.

Basically anything below college-level is solely designed to generate a population of competent factory workers. They don't give a gently caress if you actually learn anything that could be useful in higher education.

I am so loving confused. Those of you that I'm friends with on Facebook know what I look like. I'm not cute, handsome or really all that attractive. I'm not really charismatic or anything but I somehow managed to snag an amazingly beautiful and intelligent girlfriend. She's probably brain damaged though.

Anyways, I can not figure out why all of a sudden a half dozen younger girls want to hop on my dick. In the last three weeks I've been asked out six times. I have no idea what is going on.
