Fred Chuck cheers

[Fred Pentney]

Bye Chuck: I've been lurking in the background hoping that through some form
of osmosis your 2400 wisdom will be imparted into my neophyte noggin.  I was
at least inspired enough to keep rather sell and will pass my still
functioning unit onto my grandchild in a few years.

In addition to the entertainment value of your contributions and the list in
general, it has provided great value.  I repaired a serious GLOD by having a
infinitesimal fuse ($1) soldered onto the hi level circuit board as per
instructions received on the list and saved myself the shipping and overhaul
by the acronymed alternatives.

So all the best to you and thanks.  Fred, Toronto

OK, I think I've been on this list for almost 5 years (IIRC I
subscribed about a month after it started), but I just realized this
morning I haven't actually *read* it since early March. I haven't
used my 2400c's in over a year now since I moved to my Ti. The
infamous green 2400c is dismantled in my closet... awaiting some time
from me to resuscitate from it's last demise, the spare part machine
is in my desk drawer at work. I guess I'm not really a 2400 user
anymore. I have too much mail to read as it is...

So I guess it is time to say goodbye.


I will say this list has always lived up to the tagline "The
friendliest place on the Net!"... I was here when that quote was
first uttered:

...and in so many ways it is still true.

I have met (or gotten to know better) some really cool folks here:

* Eric the list mom.

* Ralph & Ashish of course.
The Mac2400 site convinced me to buy one

* Sydney
We *are* going to run One Lap someday, right Sydney?

* Brandy
Who never fails to entertain! If you ever get up to the Seattle area
let me know Brandy - we can take the E-type for a spin... you can
drive.

* Woz
Long gone from the list I think, but who graciously allowed me to set
up a meeting between himself and my then summer intern Tom Owad of
AppleFritter.com fame. Everyone should get the chance to meet one of
their heros.

* Ivan Drucker
Who posted the first 2400c take-apart instructions IIRC.

* All the Mod'ers
Especially Peter Liethen & Dr. Bob - without their encouragement and
examples the green 2400c would never have existed!

* Of course all the folks whose precious PowerBooks they allowed me
to fix or modify for them. Two stand out in memory though and deserve
mention. Brian Kameoka, who I did some upgrades for, and who
presented me with the most unusual gift in exchange. And "RLF" who
turned me into a verb. =)

I'm pretty sure that I will always retain the ability to disassemble,
repair, modify, paint, and upgrade 2400c's, so I'm still willing to
perform CPU, RAM, disk upgrades, as well as those famous "goolsbeed"
cooling copper heatsink mods. So Ralph, leave me up on the Mac2400
site for that, OK?




If *any* of you ever see me at a MacWorld Expo or whatever stop and
say "hi"... The "friendliest place" should extend to the real world
as well. =)

See ya.
