Snow Leopard on an 1984 Macintosh

The restoration of old cars, furniture, boats, and anything that catches the eye and imagination is a major pasttime for many of us.  I have to say, though, that as a geek I rarely get the urge to re-work an old Dell server, or re-work an ageing laptop.  Technology seems to have a "here and now" quality that once surpassed, gets quickly turned into a "in the shed with the rest of the junk".

If you want to make your junk back into useable stuff, here is a How-To for you.  Over at Instructables.com they have the instructions for upgrading a 1984 Macintosh to Snow Leopard, in a nice step by step format with pics.  Disappointingly, the first step is open the case and throw out everything you find, but despite that, it is a good hack/project.
