That temporary down time of 3.5 minutes was to switch this forum over to our Dual G5 with Tiger Server Edition. Been testing for the last week without issues - and expect no issues now that we're live.
[forums.macresource.com]

So - IF you notice any issue, please fire a PM to the admin...

But expect all will be well. This Mac Forum now runs on OS X - just like it ought to be.

So how about them Apples.

nice. . .keepin' it REAL!

Could you maybe post a photo on this forum of the computer that's hosting the forum? I appreciate self-referentiality.

GtDS

That would be cool!

I'd love to see the actual computer that hosts the forum...
I don't know why.. but it would be cool!

What are you going to do with those Radio Shack TRS-80s that it was originally on?

I thought it was cleaner and didn't have that funky smell one gets with you know what.

Great job Larry!

I too would like to see a pic of your rig.

Keep up the good work.

Roswell, GA (Atlanta suburb)

thanks! nice. . .reminds me of that Betty Grable poster. ..

Since there are many requests for pics/whathaveyou...you should just set up a dedicated webcam for viewing the the server...that way when people come to the forum, they can see/watch the server and think: "Hey, I'm in there." : )

And here all the while I thought they were supposed to be running on Compaqs sporting Windows 95. Where the hell would I have gotten that mistaken impression from?

I thought it was faster today. Now I know why!

Looks kinda LONELY . . . and no name on it either . . . what a bummer.

Come 'on Jamie . . . use some imagination . . . or ask Larry if you don't have any.

There seems to be a delay in the "new" tags showing up -- not sure if it's related to the switch.

And if you use "Mark all messages read" it doesn't automatically refresh the view. I thought it did before, but who knows, drugs can make things fuzzy...

The Distributed.net RC5-64 computing project once had a webcam setup of some of their servers, but that was a while ago. Geeky yes, but so is cracking a 64-bit encryption scheme using your spare processing cycles.

I just did hit 'mark all as read' and it refreshed snippity snap.

Nice work Larry, thanks!

Reading this thread, I suddenly felt as if none of us really exist outside of this cyber universe and the name of our world is G5! Who knew?

Where am I?

Thanks Panopticon! You made me chuckle.

Hey - not a joke at the expense of an Apple IIGS - one of my favorite computers of all time!

Just checked, I've got one left in the collection.
Low, low mileage & very clean but NO 'ProFile HD'. Any bids??

hey... the profile was ancient history when the G5 came into the game... I'm talking the dawn of SCSI in the late 80s... remember getting a 'Warp 40MB' SCSI external.

NO, but I had a 20 mb Jasmine HD, external . . . $600.00 OUCH!!!!!!

I suffer from the same sensitivity that you do. A few nuggets of wisdom were shared with me and I'm "trying" to incorporate them into my life. First, remember that nobody can hurt your feelings unless you let them. You can always reject what is being forced on you emotionally.
Second, nothing changes unless you change it. If you don't want the behavior to be repeated then you need to take action. Otherwise the kid has learned that his behavior is the way to get things done, because everyone lets him get away with it.
In the meantime I sympathize because I've been there.

Hey, shouldn't that G5 at least be up on an alter.. or at least a table?

Having it under a desk like that makes seem so...so... unimportant!

yeah Paul, you want it up on an alter, so you can peek up its cooling holes you perv.

Yeah, I really did enjoy the see-through front (woo!).
