What Do You Do With All These Old Computers Anyway?
I accumulate old Macintoshes, and they all suck. Compared with a commodity iPhone or iPad, they are vastly inferior and incapable, they're filled with heavy metals, they don't consume any less electricity than their modern counterparts, and the software and hardware is difficult to interface with the modern world. At least if I sell out, I could expect high sale prices! Aside from getting nostalgia hits, and admiring the aesthetics (the Power Mac G4 Cube is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, after all), what are these paleolithic computers good for? The answers, and more, might be presented in this talk!
