I have a 3do with an ODE. I will definitely check this one out.

Mine had a broken disc drive when i bought it, but the ODE install was easy and solder-free. In retrospect i wish i'd bough some mounting brackets instead of just zip-tying it inside the case.

It's a good system though. Lots of interesting FMV games and a small handful of true classics.

    Respectfully, this is a bad take. If you are travelling to SF by public transport it's certainly no worse access than before. I grew up making trips to Ocean Beach with my family a few times a year via BART and MUNI from Fremont and have continued doing so since moving back recently. The only difference is that BART runs fewer trains than they used to, but the rest of the journey is the same as ever.

    Also, it's pretty easy (and free) to park in one of the many adjacent parking lots if you are already driving into the city. Crossing downtown is the real obstacle, and if you are able to take the san mateo bridge you can enter from the south and avoid it entirely.

    i always liked Bunsenlabs, very nice minimalist setup. windowmaker live (wmlive) is also interesting, more in a retro direction.

    This is a list of reputable brands, seed dealers, and nurseries for acquiring native plants, both online and offline. If you'd like to add one to the list, just post it below, and I'd appreciate a little blurb about your experience with them or why you find them reputable.

    The list is currently pretty sparse, but with everybody's help, we can make a great list!

    Linda Vista Native Plants (Saratoga)

    Larry has a wider selection than most Native Nurseries I've been to. He seems keenly interested in manzanitas, ceanothus, dudleya, and bulbing plants like calochortus. His stock is a mixture of Bay Area, Central Coast, Channel Island, and San Diego species with a smaller selection of Sierra Nevada, North Coast, and SoCal species. The nursery is pickup-only by appointment. My impression is that Larry would rather lose a sale than sell an unhealthy plant, so be prepared that part of your order might not be there if he doesnt like the look of it. I highly reccomend this nursery if you are in the Bay Area

    Linda Vista Native Nursery

    California Flora Nursery (Just outside Santa Rosa)

    One of the great institutional nurseries of California native gardening. Their overall stock is unmatched, but only a small fraction is available for purchase at any given time. This is the only nursery that commonly carries clones of the Vine Hill Manzanita other than the common hybrid cultivars (such as Howard McMinn, Sentinel, Harmony). The non-hybrid species is usually (but not always) low-growing, with smaller darker leaves and more delicate flowers, absolutely stunning IMO. The pure species selections will be named stuff like "VHP - A11 'low growing'" or "VHP - B3 'tall one'" since they are from stock also used for ex-situ conservation plantings

    This nursery is also responsible for the introduction of many popular cultivars, especially Ceanothus. Some of my favorites are Ceanothus "Better than Ray Hartman" and Arctostaphylos "Reina de la arena". Their selection is wide, but especially covers the North Bay Area, Northern Coast, and Inner Coast Ranges. Good variety of oaks, pines, cypresses, grasses, and even annuals. In my opinion, it's worth the trip from anywhere in California.
