Demigods in Canada, and virtually unknown in the U.S., The Tragically Hip are the greatest live band I’ve ever seen. So it was a heckuva treat to see some classic Macs sitting at the desks during the Hip’s “My Music at Work” video: Gord Downie, the lead singer, has either a classic 128/512k Mac or a Mac SE - I can’t make out which.

I once had quite a sizeable collection of retro computing gems, but with me finding myself strapped for cash and a move to a new house imminent last year, I flogged a lot of them off on eBay. I did pretty well for myself too, but there are always a few classic machines that one can’t bear to part with, and these all-in-one Macs have to rank pretty highly on any collector’s list.

It’s alive! » By ghp on Feb 16, 2008 in featured, technology | 1 Comment Tags: apple • mac os • mac se • macintosh • technology It’s alive… alive! The new “old” 500mb SCSI drive has been successfully installed, replacing the dead 120MB drive (that had replaced the original 20MB disk).

I have 6 more of these machines. Only some of them work and the ones that do, need to have the superdrive in them to read the 1.44mb floppies that I have. As a result of this, they are sitting in our living room waiting to be combined into a few working machines. Hopefully, I will be able to get 3 more clocks working.
