Any online #GlobalTalk DropBoxes today I could connect to received two greets via the #ACMS AppleTalk network.
One was from me testing out the freeware (black and white) version of Kid Pix from the Classic Mac Survival Kit (which I grabbed from that share on the WOzFest HQ zone), the other was an earlier text-only one from a couple of young visitors to the Museum.
Ben and Lucas, probably about 14-15yo, were suitably impressed (or at least pleasantly polite enough to appear suitably impressed) as I described just what #GlobalTalk was about, and the geographical spread of nodes online today.
I hadn’t yet located Kid Pix and due to time limitations and networking stability issues due to power circuit tripping while they were there, they only got to drop their greet in @billgoats’s Founding Node’s DropBox, so when everything was more settled later in the day after they’d left, I dropped their greet along with mine in any available DropBoxes, which they had intended to do.
They very generously donated $20 between them to the ACMS and promised to visit again. Lucas already has a Windows 9x PC he was gifted by a relative he is looking forward to getting working on, so it’s nice to see yet another generation engaging with old tech.
Speaking of Windows 9x, someone vandalised the running Acer Windows machine not far from the Macs I was working on – investigations continue to identify the perpetrator 🥸
Closed off the day at the #ACMS with an iMac making a dialup connection to a Shiva LanRover and just seeing #GlobalTalk network.
I still find it amazing that a single AppleTalk network number for each of Ethernet and LocalTalk serves so many various connection technologies seamlessly (and so topologically economically)!
First #GlobalTalk greet for #ACMS (Australian Computer Museum Society) from @nygl in Queensland!
Thanks Nigel!
Attached: 1 image Hey, any #GlobalTalk nerds awake for the next few hours, the #ACMS AIR node is online for a few hours. Drop greets in the DropBox or on the printer. Let me know if you can connect (I’m having issues, even though I can see the zone and file server – achtung! it’s crashing the 7.1.1 machines attempting to connect for me). I still have to: • setup port forwarding (so it’s likely you’ll only see it if it knows about your node) • put in the patch for later years in Date & Time (no PRAM battery, either), and • grab a recent list of nodes. I have some other work I need to do here, first, though.
