Holiday Hardware Hacking 4 (Part 2)

If you're one of Alfred's subcriber's who's new here, welcome! If you're one of mine, welcome back! Sorry it's been so long...

Anyway, it's that time of year again! Well, eleven minutes after that time of year, since you should have watched part one of HHH4 over at Alfred's channel. Click this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LLO7l70Yk or the link in the video. Or you can be truly avant-garde and watch part two before part one.

If you've seen part one, you know this already: I had a Mirror Drive Door Dual Processor G4 Mac running two processors at 1.25Ghz that I was using as my iTunes server. This was the last tower that Apple built that can boot into OS 9. Al has some legacy software and hardware for his music studio that require OS 9, so he wanted my computer. To replace it, he found another MDD, almost the same, expect this one ran two G4s at 1.42GHz. To trade, I had to move some drives and RAM around. We streamed it live on Ustream and captured it all to video. To make it not boring, we made jokes.

Enjoy!

Aren't Jewish dudes not supposed to eat bacon?

[ThisIsAdamB]

@K2ACP Observant Jewish dudes (and dudettes) can choose to follow the dietary rules if they like. I follow my own path. Or rather the same path followed by the millions and millions of people who love sweeeeet, sweeeeet, bacon... Bacon.... mmmmm.....

I really dont think either of you guys are qualified to be inside a computer......take it back to the shop

[ThisIsAdamB]

@rooboy69 You're kidding, right? For a good number of people, I am "the shop".

@adiblasi It's twenty ten, not two thousand and ten.

[ThisIsAdamB]

@Kwpolska Actually my calendar says two thousand ten. Twenty ten is the score of a slightly interesting football game or a really strange baseball game. (Let's go Mets!)

Haha more classic jokes! an no the video did not completely go down the toilet! although i think there was a little less "hacking" of the computer and a bit more cracking of the jokes! great videos both of you!

[K2ACP]

@ThisIsAdamB I can't blame you, bacon IS pretty darn good

[sayoian99]

"what flavor 'serial' is it?"

"fruit loops" XD

@rooboy69 Also my computer keeps changing the you're to your.

[Leethellama]

@rooboy69 Your kidding right? Have you watched any of his videos with Al? He's great at what he does, You think he would still have a job if everything he fixed came back the next day. Al is not an idiot the guy has money if he did not trust Adam to do it he would take it to a shop. I really think you need to watch more of Adam's videos and see for yourself how intelligent he really is. Adam and Al have been working with computer probably longer than you have been alive.
