[DuoList] A PPC yarn....

Saturday night!  Football!

...plus, me getting a Lombard ready for a friend who is computer-less right 
now.

I quickly realize that the machine, if it is to play DVD movies, would be 
best served running Classic(!), as the Lombard's DVD hardware does not work 
with OSX supposedly...

So as I setup my friend's machine, I realize that the OSX feature of 
switching desktop pics is something I think she would like, but it's not 
built-into classic... what to do, what to do...???

..Oh!  The app called "Decor'" -- I remember that... the app on Classic 
that allowed you to set the desktops to change at a predesignated rate.  Yes.  
Now, where to find it?

The download site seems to have an issue -- Expander is warning me it is 
corrupted.  Oh well, I... wait; didn't I have it on a machine of mine at one 
time?  Yeah, my 2400c I think...

So, I go into the basement where my Mac Museum resides (Powerbook 550c, 540 
w/ touchscreen, tablet laptop based on the Powerbook 5300, tablet based on 
the iBook clamshell -- but I digress!) and I pull out the 2400c.  After all 
these years -- and it has been about a year since I used it(!) -- it still, 
STILL!, looks tiny, tiny!!  These days I mostly use my Titanium as a daily 
machine, so I am used to seeing a big silver plank daily.

Sure, the modern netbooks have it on thin-ness, but the 2400c's thickness 
makes it seem more substancial to me!  It STILL looks great!

I crank it up, and ...oh, whatthe hell!  LEAVE IT UNPLUGGED!  Let's see how 
many seconds the battery lasts...

Well, I have typed this entire e-mail while using it unplugged -- for about 
45 minutes now! -- and it is still going strong... wow!  I THINK I'M TAKING 
THIS TO WORK (Daystar Technology/Suwanee, GA) on Monday!  ;-)\

Oh yeah... "Decor" -- I think it's on the 2300c(!) actually... time to heat 
THAT one up now, but I think I'll KEEP IT PLUGEED IN!
