Why yes, I am genuinely considering buying a $150 Matias Tactile Pro for my iMac G4 I boot up once a month, how did you know?

The PowerBook G3 Lombard parts machine I ordered is waiting for me at home.
Watch the keyboard on it be even more broken than the one I'm trying to fix.
The donor keyboard works perfectly! The parts machine also included a DVD-ROM, which has now replaced the CD-ROM with a broken plastic cover that this machine originally came with, and to celebrate the working keyboard (and test the DVD-ROM), I played one of my CDs, Discovery by ELO, in the Apple CD Player app.
And look at that CD Player app! It's so gorgeous. All software should be required to look like this. By law.
The donor machine also includes a 400MHz CPU card compared to my current 333MHz card, so I may look into swapping that at some point. I'd also have to give the machine a well-overdue repaste.
Pictures taken with the Mavica CD400 btw.
hey. i just wanna talk to the guy who thought it was okay to put Toast - the app required for mounting and burning .toast images - inside of a .toast image.
i just wanna have a little chat. a friendly discussion. right over here. just a little closer, right on that X on the ground, yeah. no that's not an anvil dangling precariously over your head by a single rope what are you talking about
