Hey, not trying to make fun of Macs or old computers. Just saying all computer have issues now and then. I have my stash of computers too - a laptop with Windows ME, 1 with XP,  3 with Windows 7 and 2 Android Tablets.

Commodore 64! Yes, I had one and spent way too many hours playing F15E Strike Eagle on it. I stil have my, maybe I need to drag it out and try to boot up the game.

Waikong: Have you seen this? A modern company has put a PC inside a replicated C-64 case! I doubt I'll buy one since  the biggest reason I'm a PC guy is I like being able to upgrade and replace parts inside my case myself but still it's awsome that someone comes out with such a crazy idea.

Gamera, that is too funny. Reminds me of people who build PC's into old radios, iceboxes, etc... Cool projects, but yeah, I woulnd't buy one. Maybe I'll build one myself using an microATX board - but I'm not sure I have to heart to tear out the guts of my C64 - not that there's much to it, last time I looked there's only some sort of power converter and the 1 piece motherboard inside.

I have saved tons of time and ruined models by hitting the forums, youtube, etc., for modeling tips and techniques.  I can't imagine having gotten back into modeling without the internet.  I'm even learning how to post stuff online for anyone in the world to see.  Imagine that ... not bad for an old dog.

I've got my old computer desk-side, where I am constantly using it for reference photos. It's great to just pull up, for instance..."General Lee, engine bay" and google images give me what I need.

Ditto.. Got the PC right next to the bench and will pull up a particular detail onto the screen while working on the model-version of it..

"Right cockpit sidewall Bf109G"

Google Image was great invention... Dunno what I'd do without now.. Well, yeah, I DO know what I'd do, but.. Ah, hell.. You know what I mean...
