  • Yeah, oldest electronic, or oldest thing? I have a set of fireproof bankers drawers with a functioning rotary lock from like 1917. Oldest electronic… Do speakers count? I have a set of Acoustalinear speakers hooked up to a sound system… Or my grandpa’s old neon sign from the 1950s (although it has some newer parts… Ballasts and what not do not last for ever). I also have some old electric tube transistors in an old radio I restored that have “made in West Germany” stamped on them… But those might be from the 90s… I am not sure.




  • To be fair… Mac works 90% with Mac hardware. It’s third party things that can screw you up… Like that pesky “USB” everyone is talking about. Who knew reading the official documentation and creating a USB driver for your own chipset would break all the USB devices not made by Mac? Who would have thought? At least there is an Intel emulation layer you can run in…
