Dumb question?!

Hey all I’ve wanted to play through half life 2 on my xp pc for awhile and this is the one I have but when I get to install it, it needed steam. Is there anyway to by pass that ? Or is there a version that doesn’t have steam attached? Thanks

My vintage Mac laptops!

So I’m not a Mac collector but I was curious so I got these from a local collector a couple PowerBook 5300s (Ik those are not well liked lol) and a PowerBook 180!

Got all the batteries out and they all look good just a little bit of corrosion and no damage to my knowing.

Only have ac adapters for the 180 so I’ll have to get one for the 5300. Took me ages to get the 180s battery out lol finally got it out tonight so gonna hook it up tomorrow and hopefully it works

Update on battery!

Finally after a couple days and a couple sessions of pulling and bashing I got the battery out without breaking anything but I’m curious what this stuff on top could be ? It does smell like glue, scrapped it all off lol

Battery stuck

Hey all I posted yesterday about my new PowerBooks and manage to get the batteries out of the two 5300s and the 180 I’ve been trying to get out for hours lol seems like it’s possibly stuck but I can’t get the cover to fully release enough to pull it out I’m like a few millimetres off of trying to get it out and I’m trying not to break the door lol

First post!

I’m not a mac collector but was interested in a couple laptops a local mac collector had so I got these!

2 powerbook 5300s and a PowerBook 180!

They did come with some adapters but they all seem to be only compatible with the 180 and not 5300s if I’m wrong let me know
