Let's Check This Overheating MacBook Pro & Bonus Digital PC Quickie
4 years ago

I have this 2009 MacBook Pro 17" laptop that I love, its a great machine for its age, but it overheats like crazy, and I can't figure out why. So I grabbed my IR thermometer from work, and lets see whats going on. Also, lets check out a Digital Venturis 5100 that I've had in storage for some time. I know it used to work, hopefully it still does. Can it be made into a retro game machine for old DOS and Windows games? Like, Subscribe, and Share this channel. I really appreciate it.

Let's resurrect my Sawtooth G4 Gigabit Ethernet machine. Its a Dual 400mhz G4 with no RAM, but its FULL of hard drives (like 4 of them!). Its a far cry more reliable than the Sawtooth is, plus its older, and cooler. Also included is a special first peek at the new and improved Macintosh Garden website. It is still in development, so things aren't quite ready, but we get a quick peek at the new features and look of the site! Go to www.macintoshgarden.org and click on the dancing package on the main page to see for yourself! Like, Subscribe, and Share this channel. I really appreciate it. Visit these other fine channels!

Let's see if we can get the 20" G4 iMac to do anything. This thing was 100% working when I bought it months ago, but my cat knocked it off the table, and it hasn't worked right since. The screen seems to be OK, but lets take a closer look at it. Like, Subscribe, and Share this channel. I really appreciate it. Visit these other fine channels!

I am going to attempt to fix a faulty Unidisk 5.25" floppy drive that is commonly used on the Apple II line of computers, namely the later IIe, and IIgs.
