~ ‘that burning keeps me alive…’

~ the work, part one: a trip to the local computer shop for a monitor for our linux machine ended in failure; the cheapest model – at $20 – was twice our budget. we compromised and instead purchased a macintosh, and returned it to the angry red offices, to compliment our pentium environment. to our surprise, we inadvertently picked up the macintosh se with 2 800k drives, instead of one of the remotely useful editions with one floppy drive and one hard disk. he have managed to find a few versions of mac os which will operate on one floppy; the latest with which we have had success is 6.0, which unfortunately does not support mosaic or netscape. so, even if there were a modem or a nic, we would be unable to access the web. the next step, then, is to acquire an external 20mb or 40mb scsi hard drive, and get os 7.0 or higher running. after this, we can throw an ethernet card up in there, network the se with the preuss workgroup, and start downloading macpaint. hardware donators, feel free to get in touch.
