Geek Stuff : Mac : Cool Links

I've been into Apple Macintosh computers for a couple of decades now. I even still have two SE/30s and a Color Classic, in addition to my old workhorse iBook 12" G3 500mhz and newer aluminum PowerBook 12" G4 1ghz machines. I've compiled some links I dig for your enjoyment here.
Classic "All-In-One" Macs
My favorite Macs, by far, are the old original all-in-one 68k Macs with the little 9" screens. I first used a Mac SE for music theory homework while taking classes at GCC in 1989 or 1990.

Linux on a 68k Mac
OpenBSD on a 68k Mac
MacQuariums!
I love MacQuariums. But don't ever let me hear that you've done this to a working Mac! There are plenty of old non-working classics around for making an aquarium.

Older Mac OS Software & Info
Old compact Macs can still do cool things, and even browse the web and get email. One of my old SE/30 machines has a 10-Base-T ethernet card in it, and can also act as a low traffic web server.
Old Mac OS System Software (through 1998)
Netscape Navigator (0.90beta through 7.02)
Mac SE Web Server

Mac History and Links
There's to much to fit on this page on the Macintosh and it's development.. But here are a few links to some sites with lots of cool history and info on the early Mac computers.
