Now I kinda want a small [Potato] plushie or something I can talk to while learning #uxn. XD
Rek's cartoon anthropomorphization of Potato (obviously inspired by form factors like the #Macintosh IIsi and earlier mac models) hits me right in the feels. XD
Installing #Apple A/UX on a #Macintosh SE/30 isn't just retro computing — it's retro UNIX with a blend of Macintosh Finder. This is Part 1 of my A/UX exploration #RetroComputing#VintageComputinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qvc4TwkeBU

Last week I saw a #Macintosh G4 Cube incl power supply on a flea market. Was I stupid not to ask at least for the price? Cube was standing upside down on concrete and had some scratches and nicks in the acrylic. #Mac#Apple#G4Cube#Mac
The original Macintosh took me by suprise in 1984 because, as a hobbyist with limited access to research literature, I wasn't aware of the work at Xerox PARC and elsewhere on Graphical User Interfaces. I was familiar with the text and graphics modes of home and personal computers but the mouse-driven interface came out of the blue for me.
I still have my first Apple - a Mac SE FDHD from 1987!

Kind of a follow-up to yesterday's blost, but also informative for those who work with PDFs in Linux.

(I will happily add/remove you from the chorus upon request! :)
P.S., I really hope someone gets the 1980s movie reference. Even though I've never seen said movie. 😄

Part rosy-tinted retromemories, part acerbic political polemic, 99% UI kvetching.
Absolutely go eat a bushelful of eggplants, Tim Cook. And by eggplants, of course I don't mean the vegetable.

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.

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”
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/
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.
