1995 Macintosh Computer

For those few times left you need a serial cable, and you don't have a computer built after 1995 (well, an old one, anyway), there's this guy/gal/cable. It works, the drivers installed flawlessly, the cable did its job, and I was able to lie to terminal software and tell it that a USB port was a serial port. YAY!

This MacBook is fast. I've owned a Macintosh computer since the early fat Macs came out back in 1984. This one blows everything away. Everything I throw at it works so smoothly. Even Zoom backgrounds work great without a green screen. Transferring everything from my previous MacBook was trivial and took less than 15 minutes transferring via wifi.

It works with my Macintosh laptop computer. Now when I give a PowerPoint presentation I can stand in the front of the room, control PowerPoint without having to appoint a flipper, and highlight things on the screen.

This is the most significant innovation since the Macintosh itself was introduced.

I have had excellent experience with this brand in the past. I like the compact design that looks well next to my Macintosh PowerBook.

My first iMac and I am new to Macintosh hardware, so I thought some extended coverage would not be a bad thing.

I have not used a mouse since 1995 and love the 3Dconnexion mouse. I am learning Blender and got comfortable with it within 1/2 an hour. B&H got it from NY to Santa Cruz, Ca. in a couple of days.

I had about 30 hours of tapes (both the cassette size, and the minis) from 1995-2007 or so, and when I last checked years ago, had no way to transfer them without a major cost to a vendor.  With the Elgato device, I plugged the male end of the cords from my old “camcorders” into the female end of the Elgato, loaded the software on my Mac, and I was good to go.  Couldn’t be easier.  They’re all now in .mp4 format.  I’ll be further editing them using IMovie, so as to cut down on the wasted video, and catalogue these videos of priceless family history.

I bought this kit in 1995 and have used it well all these years. I've set it up thousands of times in over twenty years. Had to replace a few parts which are still available. The only problem I've had is when a airport put it through a huge scanner and threw it twelve feet into a rubber bumper. It dislodged most of the filaments but quick order took care of that. Oh and by the way... If you develop a nice scrim - gel kit and add a chimera you'll be set. A lowel dp fits in the same case. That's the beauty of this system. Great quality and truly built to last.

Wanted to buy a Bose Wave radio since 1995 bur never got to it. In 2012 I bought a Dr Dre Beats Bluetooth speaker for $400? March 2016 I bought a Bose mini soundlink. I'm happy with that. JUNE 2016 I bought both the Bose Wave $600 and the Sonos5. I was disappointed with the bass on the Bose Wave and it gets distorted at full blast. The Sonos is a keeper. All I thought was great on the Bose was the name and Marketing. I have a Bose system on my 2006 Chevy Corvette and I'm not proud of the sound. What else to say? Get the Sonos.
