This is one of those fun cases where one blost begets another one in pretty rapid succession.
Nothing deep, just a fun little jaunt through computing memory lane.
I have Dave's toot to thank for the genesis of this post.

i made a replica of the original radius sticker for #macintosh se based on pictures i found, i printed it and dimensions seems accurate (89x6mm)
pdf files are available here for printing: https://maya.sh/trucs/fichiers/sticker_radius/
For @craiggrannell it does play Lode Runner!
When I saw this online somewhere I had to have it even though it is mainly a curiosity! I could play Lode Runner on it if I connected a keyboard…
“pico-mac-nano is a miniature, functional, scale replica of the original 1984 Apple Macintosh. It is 62mm high (no, that’s not a typo) and has USB keyboard and mouse support”

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.

Control Panel 1.0 -
Pour célébrer la naissance de mon enfant, j'ai brodé le panneau de contrôle du premier Macintosh.
À partir d'une capture d'écran, j'ai créé le modèle à broder, en mettant son nom dans la barre de titre, sa date et son poids de naissance. J'ai mis plusieurs mois à le réaliser, et il est né quelques semaines avant que j'arrive à le terminer, ce qui tombe bien parce que je devait de toute façon attendre la naissance pour les informations de dernière minute.
Je suis impatiente de partager un jour avec lui l'origine de cette œuvre de Susan Kare.
Vous pouvez jouer avec l'original (dans une émulation) dans ce très bel article de Marcin Wichary.

Nice pick up of vintage gear today, thanks to @ben for the items and @mike for getting me in touch with Ben.
Got a couple of breadbin C64s which is something I don't own - I have a South Aussie C64 and a C64C.
The Mac SE/30 is in nice condition, no battery bomb and very little cap leakage, but has a single horizontal line on the display when you switch it on.
Also included is a 1541 floppy drive, couple of C2N tape drives and heap of software as well as a Commodore tank mouse but I can't work out if it is a C64 or Amiga one as the cable has been replaced on it. The label is missing on it.

The genius behind MacPaint, HyperCard, and so many other groundbreaking creations has left us. I like to think that Bill Atkinson is now in a better place—one where HyperCard was never discontinued, and its legacy lives on, evolving as it always should have.
