    Hey everyone, I recently picked up a Mac mini 1,1 (Early 2006) and would like to use it as a retro server for my vintage Macs using AppleTalk / AFP with OS X Server 10.4.

    2017 iMac Pro (late-comer)

    The semi-annual community college district auction came calling, so I looked around for something unique to add to my collection. Hidden away in the listings were a pair of iMac Pros, which I anticipated because Apple stopped OS support for those with Sequoia. I was able to score one of them for...

    Hi everyone, I’m currently using Monterey on my 16-inch MacBook Pro (Intel, 2019 model). It has been stable and reliable for my workflow, but it gets hot very quickly, so I’m tempted to switch to Sequoia to see if that improves the situation. Here are a few things I’m considering...

    How did they make the change between processors without a hitch?

    Here's a quote from an Apple Insider article: "They both pulled off an immensely complex move of processors — with Jobs taking Apple from PowerPC to Intel — and both did it so well that it's easy to forget what a task it was." What would this task entail? How did they do it so well?

    Thinking of getting a new computer. Need advice.

    My 2020 MacBook Air with Intel has always struggled with getting warm. I do not like how hot it sometimes gets (the keys on the keyboard were hot to the touch the other day.), especially in the summer. This worries me. Sometimes it smells like a hot electronic, especially as of late. The...
