well, the new monitor doesn't seem to want to display any picture, i can hear it degaussing when i power it up, but then nothing. it's a multisync with a few different inputs so i might have something set up wrong there or it might just be my cable or something, but im not super sure yet. on the upside, it looks good on my desk and serves as a great place to stick all my tiny robots, so like, def not a complete loss there at least!!

#the imac i got worked first try and seems to be in great shape #besides a dead optical drive but that's fixable #and the drive is old enough that it makes me a bit nervous #but it still had the original install from 1999 #files mostly untouched since 2002 and control panel shows that the last time it connected to a time server was in 2007 #and it's got all sorts of stuff installed #documents folder was wiped but still some adobe stuff and a couple varieties of napster and like 3 or 4 different internet utilities #and the website listed in the photoshop registration is still live and everything #really cool piece esp for only like $30 #and the color matches the clamshell ibook we already have too #good day at vcf today!
