It feels so very good. Over the past week I&#8217;ve noticed temperatures have dropped. My apartment retains heat pretty well. Its 42 outside.<\/p>\n<p>I went to visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/cat37\">Cat<\/a> in Lawrenceville. She asked me to help her with her computers. I knew both were old and one is a Mac. What I didn&#8217;t know is she only has a Dial-Up Internet connection, one is a generic (AST) 486, the other a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Macintosh_LC_III\">Macintosh LC III<\/a>, and she didn&#8217;t have the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Desktop_Bus\">ADB<\/a> cable for the keyboard. She just wanted to get files off these two computers.<\/p>\n<p>So I was able to get her the files she wanted off the 486 without any trouble. I ended up calling <a class=\"lj-user\" href=\"http:\/\/arfore.livejournal.com\/\">arfore<\/a> and asking his advice on dealing with the lack of a cable for the Mac keyboard. His ideas? 1) Get a SCSi adapter, put the hard drive in a box running Linux, mount it with HFS. 2) Go buy a cable. To get Win to read the floppies, put tape over the High Density hole of the floppy. So the Mac is still a work in progress. She has ordered an ADB cable, so once she has it, we will be able get into it and see just how much further we can go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BTW, Cat is interested in getting rid of both computers (once she has her files off):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AST 486, 8 MB RAM, with monitor<\/li>\n<li>Macintosh LC III with monitor (no base)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Its funny that people think &#8220;good with computers&#8221; means good dealing with everything computer related.
