This reminds me of the time I got thrown off the PCI . A lister
wrote in and bragged about how low he got a fabulous computer for
used. I said he was gloating and suggested a late winter " Gloat
Fest." Bragging rights being the prize.
The winner was to be the one saying he or she had the most fabulous
PCI Mac for the cheapest cost. That ratio being arbitrarily judged .
One entry even bragged of having " Woz " personally give her a prototype Mac.
This got so popular It choked the bandwidth. I was thrown off . None
of us could stop talking about the subject. I had to do a fast ma
culpa,
And came to learn the wisdom of non-OT. Yeah, it fills dead wires and
mail clients. But can grow to detract from listers getting fast help
for problems that keep their machines down. Which is the purpose of
the lists. LEM pays by usage also. And without LEM we users of older
gear would have a much harder time getting and keeping our machines
up.
After a few more instances like this the PCI list loosened up enough
that ;isters didn't feel repressed anymore and the humor is more
balanced
Some listers also said they didn't want people to know what Macs they
had for fear paople would find out where they lived and steal their
rare or valuable machines.
But offline I would like to know about the most tricked out Macs.
Real or imagined. But lets be serious no G5 SE's please. But,Maxxed
out upgrades ,
outrageous hardware hacks that really work. And case mod with surgery
or paint..
And offline again please, and more importantly, what do you do with
your Macs? And how do you do it? Oddball peripherals, scientific
instruments, sensors,apparatti, machinery, control modules.
Scientific research, unusual artwork. Personal pleasure etc.

Evidently everyone is interested in how big theirs is but can't say
anything about how they use it !
