Another Old Computer Heard From

Ms. K resuscitates an old Mac:

I actually got the Powerbook 540c to boot!

These things were so baller for their day. They had built in stereo speakers with 16 bit sound, 640×480 active matrix color display, 33mhz 040 CPU, dual battery bays… it was one of the first laptops that could also work as a hoss of a desktop machine.

I did a similar thing in January when I started my first laptop, an old ThinkPad.

Will kids these days try booting PS4s and XBoxes? And will they work without the backend services that power them? Probably no on both accounts.
