Hi, I appear to be down said rabbit hole! It’s an interesting one - I got a SCART splitter (buffered one from JS Technology) so that I can have one picture on CRT TV and one to OSSC for streaming I noticed that when I use it, there’s a noise/ripple effect that slowly moves up the picture...

I just contributed for one. Don't want to miss out like I did with the A1200 ones :( Fingers crossed. It's still not quite made it...

I've been wasting the Vanish Gold for Whites bottle like crazy and it's still got loads left. Very good option economically IMO. I'm sure it's been said a lot, but do take wearing gloves seriously - I quickly did some keys last night the lazy way, since it's a pain putting gloves on and...

Think I can declare Vanish Oxi Gold for whites (and my second attempt at retr0bright) a success! So it does work in place of Crystal White, and I think it's meant to replace it. Before: After: Much easier to work with - didn't bother with cling film, which made the whole process much less...

Can't find crystal white anywhere! But there is a gold oxy for whites which MAY be a rebrand/newer version not sure. Will try

Wondering if mixing B-blonde with water so they can go in a jar, would be any good for the keys? Individual pasting was a nightmare.

Do you have to watch "real" retr0bright doesn't dry up too, or just the hair bleach type? From what I was reading in various threads, the marks are caused by some additions to the hair bleach that aren't in "pure" retr0bright mixes. So you're sort of doing your best to fight against that...

Well, after finding a guide online saying "hey, this B-Blonde stuff works!" I thought I'd give that a try, as it sounds much easier than trying to find peroxide and xanthan gum and whatnot. The results are a mix of "partial" and "disasteriffic". I think the lesson I've taken away from this...

There's value in all of the genuine Macs, sure. Mac Pro - Workstation grade hardware (expensive stuff, and actually good value if compared like for like I.e. Xeon processors etc) iMac - Great value if you like what you're given in terms of screen and insides, and they even put an IPS panel in...

Good work :) Quick tip, see if there's a Runcore SSD for your system if you can justify the investment. I put one into my Eee 901 and OS X ended up running faster on it than my iMac. Decent SSDs really are the dog's wotsits. I've since sold the iMac and built an i7 dual purpose Hackintosh...

Next time, simply load a brick with your washing to ensure that the washing machine doesn't stay shut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwYW_RGWSmM

What about physical fitting in a1200+a500? If it's easy enough though I'll be looking at a couple :)

The App Store sounds good *if* it remains optional. And I certainly agree with their model of per-user licensing that they insist on instead of per-machine. So long as they never lock the Mac down that way. I agree with it on the phone and even the iPad as it keeps it a very tidy and sort of...

In the style of @VizTopTips AMIGA OWNERS - turn your A500 into an A500+ by simply pouring acid all over the motherboard.

Can't for the life of me fit the cards through the slot. There's just not enough room to wiggle, and indeed, gratuitous swearing abounds. I pull the entire thing apart and lift the motherboard out - bit of a pain but once it's done and stable hopefully you won't have to do it again!
