apologies for the big picture.

just saw this (linked from appleturns.com), it's a b&w that was in an office fire. While all the PCs were burnt to a crisp, the one mac in the office is still bootable!

The case modification method isn't recommended but for that grungy feel, what more could you ask! Maybe this is apple next design strategy - road kill style!

Does anyone want to try the same thing with an xbox, just to see if it works afterwards? (nealconner, are you listening).

This is entirely unrelated, but . . .

Am I insane, or is that girl kind of cute?

I think the important question is, who's the girly in the picture.

You're not insane. I think she's absolutely gorgeous.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Thanks for digging, dude... I want to Altavista for the translated version and got the main drift, as I'm one of those benighted Americans who only speak English and bad English, as Mr. Willis says... (they should have used her shade for Milla Jovovich, come to think of it...)

She's pretty, but the hair? It's like makin' love to Ronald McDonald in drag.


They laughed at my Mac, it had no CLI. They laughed at Linux, it had no GUI. I installed MacOS X, and shut them up.

I like the hair!

As for that top pic.. scares me.. I'd hate to see a f***ing mess like that.

Now all that needs to be done is a little cleaning and a new case, maybe?

I'm assuming you know the G3 is the only thing that works from the text since I didn't see anything else that looked like a computer in the picture. That's a pretty cool thing to brag about.

The girl is not hot. She's okay looking. The low quality image looks like someon photoshopped her hair.

put me down for a as regards the chick.

as regards the comp - I saw the same thing in MX in Melbourne (free rag distributed on the tube) - some guy's studio burnt up but the g3/4, which was totally melted etc. still booted up. All their pentiums, which were actually untouched by the fire, were destroyed by the smoke damage. Heh.

well, compared to the RAT-MAC that must be the property of MOSS-MAN the girl looks very, very sophisticated . If I would walk by her, I would definately turn my head.

Too bad I don't speak Spanish.

Okay, so she isn't the hottest girl in the world, but wildly red hair turns me on for some reason. Otherwise, I have to say, she has a nice smile. lol.
