I’m back in town. Here’s a view of Seattle from the Victoria Clipper station that I shot with my new camera. (Yes, I need more practice.) Click on the photo for more bad vacation pics.
The ride on the Clipper, a large catamaran, was smooth. Victoria is a darn cute town the size of a postage stamp. My favorite experience was the “First Peoples” exhibit at the Royal BC Museum, but photos were not allowed.
Alex helped me open the old SE/30. Got it working, though it needs a new floppy drive. And I didn’t zing myself!

Getting ready to pick up Alex at the airport. Sweet reunion! For two days that is. Then I’m up to Seattle for a week with family. Mom is taking me on a boat to Vancouver for a couple of days. I’ll also spend time with Amy, Greg and Lewis (who is addicted to the new household computer, I bet), as well as cousin Tim, Caitlin, Sam and Mike.
Finally found a long torx driver to reach the recessed screws on the old macs. The SE/30 won’t boot and I suspect its RAM got jiggled loose during shipping. I really had to search for the torx driver. A sales guy at Santa Cruz Electronics practically had steam coming out his ears when I mentioned opening an old all-in-one. He sputtered “liability…major liability…don’t even talk to me about it…” Believe me, I will take all possible precautions to avoid the high voltage. If I end up with a new hairdo I’ll go back and show that sales guy!
