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

Thanks to https://infinitemac.org for enabling me to get the screenshot of Preview.app on NeXTStep 1.0. So awesome!!!!

(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. 😄

P.P.S., @scruss informs me that Firefox's built-in PDF viewer can do (almost) all of the annotation things I've been trying to do with multiple apps. I'm kinda shook!

I'm loathe to suggest more APIs for our bloated web, but it'd be nice if there's a way for online emulators like PCE.js and #InfiniteMac to tell the browser to not apply any fractional scaling so that retro desktops don't look like total mud.

@mihaip just enabled #InfiniteMac virtual machines to be embedded directly onto a website, and it works so well! I turned this on across https://www.classicmacdemos.com/ and it's a nice improvement to be able to play a game demo or explore a magazine cover CD without even leaving the page.

Just waiting for the day that #InfiniteMac adds support for #MacOSX #SnowLeopard

That's gonna be SICK.

They're working on 10.4 now. Only two more to go.
Not sure how they're going to do Intel emulation. Hopefully it will run as a lightweight vm on intel machines, somehow.

I've finally gotten around to adding support for #InfiniteMac's new Mac OS X virtual machines to the collection of magazine cover CDs at https://classicmacdemos.com/discs/ . Should make it easier for people to try out some of the game and app demos that were distributed with 2000's-era Macintosh magazines in their browser. Fun!

John Calhoun’s Lost Mac Games
While the original Mac isn't often considered a top gaming platform, there were neverthless some very nice games for it. One of those was John Calhoun's classic shareware title Glider. (Glider can be played on Infinite Mac's emulation of System 6—look in the Games folder in the Infinite Mac disk on the De

Okay, I've cataloged the CDs from every issue of #MacFormat magazine in my collection or that I could find online, for a grand total of 101 issues. I found and posted every issue from 1994 (issue 1) through 2000 (issue 98), with a smattering of issues from later years. They can all be explored live on #InfiniteMac .

Enjoy!
