Power Macintoshes G4 in Anthracite, Ultraviolet, Deep Sea, and Cherry.
That is honestly just 80% of the Internet in general. A lot of people get caught in a loop and talk about the same things ad nauseum partly because they want engagement with others but don't have anything new to say. I've mostly left reddit for this reason.
@mavica_again keep in mind that some of these bands are more ska influenced than ska: Operation Ivy, Dancehall Crashers, Oingo Boingo is pretty similar to some of madnesses songs but they're more experimental new wave, and when I'm in the mood for silly music I sometimes listen to some of the Aquabats earlier songs.
@mavica_again What ska bands do you like?
@mavica_again Thank you!!!
Seeing as my birthday passed, it's about time to update my bio and make a new intro.
I'm Caz! I'm a transwoman in her mid 30's. My main hobby is archiving old software. I joined mastodon to help explore my identity and help rebuild my soul so I can understand more of who I am as a person. I hope to get into more artistic hobbies in the future!
@1Bit Is it possible to get on globaltalk using OS 9? The only System 7 era machine I've got is out of commission.
Journey to replace Windows 98 Rig 3/?) figured out where legacy USB support is, found out the previous mobo owner disabled hard drive detection for some reason, figured out one of my hd's died, found a good cf card instead, and now windows 98 is installing!
Journey to replace my broken 98 rig (part 2/?): More troubles. My USB keyboard works in bios settings, but stops working when my cdrom boots up an installer. However if I use a live installer like KollibreOS the keyboard works again once it fully boots into the operating system. Unfortunately my only ps/2 keyboard is dead, and I can't find any USB compatibility mode settings in the bios.
Journey to replace my broken 98 rig (part 1/?):
My new motherboard came in the mail. By some bizarre fuck up, the label for power switch was labeled completely wrong in the motherboard, but somehow right in the manual. At least it powers on now!
Sometimes when you test software on a virtual machine, you don't touch it for a while and forget what you installed. What the fuck am I looking at?
@pango Appreciate it! Unfortunately, when I looked there earlier I found nothing. I'm going to give up for now.
@mavica_again Thanks, I wasn't aware of that! My main tool of choice is usually: mmnt.ru/int/ and unfortunately, neither of these can find the program. It's called CycleDial https://web.archive.org/web/19970221223958/http://www.walusoft.co.uk/page5.htm
Specifically the ibmpc section, currently not interested in acorn stuff, I'm looking for a Windows 95 program.
Do any of you know where a backup of demon.co.uk's FTP server may be?

RIP TO A REAL ONE #akiratoriyama i have to post my favorite dbz thing of All Time that got embedded into my psyche in early tumblr years.
I have 3 computers capable of burning CDs:
1. A Broken Pentium III Dell that goes through power supplies like water filters.
2. A Powermac G4 that currently cant recognize it's hard drive
3. A Thinkpad T430 that despite everything I put it through, it always turns on and does it's thing as long as it has an SSD.
Guess which one I almost always have to rely on to burn a CD?
