for those who are click through impaired.



I kinda think that plastic would turn yellow after time, regardless of the lack of windows in that room.

It would take a VERY long time to turn yellow without sunlight. I should know, I have a couple that are still perfectly Platinum.

And I kinda liked the Mac Aquariums better. I mean, who wants to pick up their TP off the floor?

I used a SE/30 shell for a helmet once at a costume party. Got the idea when someone called the happy mac "that astronaut."

I would have just turned it into the toilet.  It might be a little low, and sitting on it might not be comfy, but it would make a halfway decent urinal.

One of my buddues had that exact machine...I learned more about Macs then I ever wanted to as I was his comp. tech....nobody else would (rightly) touch them without a 2 by 4. (which I offered to do several times...).  

So I find this set of pixcs, and when he was out of town for a few days, on my way home from work one night I slip a couple of the pics under his door.

He gets home, says nothing till I"m up for a visit and asks me if I knew anything about the pics. Innocent I act, of course. Doesn't believe me, as he says I have a 'hard-on for Macs' (well...I do sort of...haha)

Laughs all around.
