Vintage Technology, hifis. home computers post here

No videos, but:

1. My working Macintosh at home is a "bionic desk lamp" iMac. Which underwent a "brain transplant" not terribly long ago.
2. My stereo system includes a cassette deck, a CD player, and a CD-R machine. As well as a turntable with an "umbrella" changer (normally, I have the single-play pin installed and the changer pin stowed).
3. I have a DOS tower (that also dual-boots to Linux) and a DOSbook. I don't allow WinDoze in the house.
4. My typesetting application of choice is still Xerox Ventura Publisher, DOS/GEM Edition.
5. I spend my Saturdays docenting at the International Printing Museum, and I'm a reasonably competent linecasting operator (Linotype, Intertype, and Ludlow), as well as a reasonably competent platen press operator (including Heidelberg Windmill).

Speaking of Windmills, I actually do have a video, in which I'm running a 2-spot-color (no black) stationery job on a Windmill at the Museum. (The entire previous sentence is a link to it, and since the stationery being printed is "masthead sheets" for the newsletter of an American Guild of Organists Chapter, it should come as no surprise that it's scored with a movement of a Handel organ concerto. My own recording, in which the only thing real is the organ.)

That's wicked. I like that people still do the old fashioned printing. Is your Imac the one with the round half sphere base, that's why they call it a desk lamp?
