Anyone using their old Mac?

by mythtech＠mac.com

>Does anyone here still use their old (say pre-1990) Macintosh as a regular >practice? I have a shelf of Mac SE's (800k version) that I use for a Fax pool (either sending or receiving). Although they are not phsyically in use every day, they do spend more time hooked up and running than not. I also have a Mac Plus that I keep on the floor for working with old software and 400k/800k disks (400's aren't readable by my 6500, and 800s usually have problems on my 6500). Although that will probably be replaced by an SE FDHD eventually. I think I finally moved all my 68000 machines out of normal "human" use, but I might be wrong, knowing me, I have at least one more Plus or SE sitting at a remote office for word processing duties. I know up until the end of June, I had an SE in active use for writing letters and doing spreadsheets (we closed the location it was at, so now it is on the floor in hall outside my office) And of course, my firewall/nat router is a IIsi right now. And then there is my LC 520 that is acting as a music on hold server for my phone system (kept frying CD players, so now I play quicktime rips off the LC). I'm not sure if I have any other 020 or 030 machines in regular use (but I have LOTS in occasional use as needed) And I have MANY MANY 040's still in service for daily use, and I think all of them are pre-1990. These are all still used at work for daily tasks, and serve as many an employee's primary (and usually only) computer. As well as things like giving them to friends and family to do work on (my nephew LOVES the LC 575 I gave him to do his homework and use email). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

The old Macs are connected to the G4 network downstairs via a really long phone cord and a localtalk-ethernet bridge, so I transfer files over AppleShare that way when I want to email/print stuff. There's something about that 9-inch screen I used throughout middle and high school (Mac Plus in that case) -- it just gets the creative juices flowing somehow. :) I also use that same Mac Plus for old games, but I think that's borderline "use" in this context. -- MB

A punch card is a bit larger than a dollar bill. US dollar bills were bigger in Hollerith's day. -Frank McConnell

Teletypes (more update)

The 35's are in Paterson NJ... and you can make the drive in one day if you drive REALLY REALLY REALLY fast (but make sure to take all fire arms OUT of your car before you make it to Paterson... having them will only encourage the locals to shoot you first) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Some punch card information

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

Pictures of punch cards http://inventors.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.fourmilab. ch/documents/univac/cards.html About hollerith http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blhollerith.htm When I worked for the state of Missouri in 1976-1977 they still manually sorted punch cards. There were card sorters that sorted the cards and dumped them into hoppers based on the punch that was selected. Thanks Mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu P.S. I'm the other CC member in Kansas City area.

>> There still are 35s. > >Am I correct in assuming that these are about twice as wide as a 33? > >Am I correct in assuming that these would be much more difficult and >expensive to ship UPS? The 35's that William pointed out to me were yes, very large and easily twice the size of a 33. They would definitly have to go on a pallet and be freighted from the looks of them (granted, I am ignorant in shipping something like this, and ignorant about teletypes, so maybe they can be broken down and boxed up in peices... but from the general look, it looks like it would be the equivlent of trying to ship a small metal desk). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Things to do in Kansas?

by doc＠mdrconsult.com

Hi. It looks like I'm going to be in Overland Park (South end of KC?), Kansas next week. Are there any Classic Computing "must-see" places? any CCmp denizens? I'm flying, and working 7-6 every day, so I can't bring any PDPs or do any all-day treks, but I'd be up for meeting anyone who shares this obsession, err, hobby. Last time I was in Denver I got to meet Emanuel and Bill, and had a great time with them. It's nice having a face and a voice to go with the .sig. Doc
