Welp, I just pulled some old bags from the basement to clean, among which was the old #Targus computer bag my gramma gave me.
How long has it been since I used it?

There was a Hertz rental paper map of San Jose, CA from when #Apple flew me out to talk about the #XServe, a phone cable and a PCMCIA Wifi expansion card (for my #NewtonMessagePad) a F3 key from a clamshell #iBook and some paper clips.

Still an awesome bag, it’s just HUGE.

A picture of a paper map of San Jose, California from Hertz Rent-A-Car, on top of the map is a phone cable from the original iBook, a PCMCIA expansion card for Wi-Fi, a broken off F3 key from an original iBook and a phone cable for the phone modem in an iBook.

Can I just get excited about the most stupid #ClassicMac thing I've done in a while?

Behold, my 2008 #Apple #Xserve 2,1 running OS X Ventura 13.3.x, with an RX480 connected via an eGPU plugged into a Titan Ridge Thunderbolt Card?

I had to modify my own .aml file and tweak the Open Core Legacy patcher to get things to work...

I am very happy.
