Today I hooked up a USB DVD drive to a MacBook and put in a CDR I burned circa 1997 from a PowerBook 540c. Totally surprised that MacOS read it and displayed files in the Finder from a 27 year old obsolete file system.
At any rate, here's a picture of me with a face hugger I made for fun. The picture was taken with a Quickcam. #oldmacs #computerArchaeology #alien #prop -
Finally got round to doing a full factory reset and clean install on my retired #MacBookAir2012 8GB ram A1466 ! Updated Mountain Lion to the last supported OS, #Catalina. Partioned the 500GB SSD for dual booting into my upcoming daily driver: #LinuxMint 21.3 Cinnamon! Really excited.
If this all goes to plan, I want to replace the non-existent battery, reapply new thermal paste (12y+ old) and get an adapter for a NVMe ssd in there.
