It looks like HARD OFF are also participating in #MARCHinitosh with this Power Mac 9600 for sale. It’s been a long time since I saw a beige Mac at HARD OFF!

Very tempting to pick up but looking at that yellowing, I feel like just by staring at it for too long the plastics will crack, so I left it in place!!

is it just me, or is classic Mac networking some kind of archane magic? Zones, seeds, multiple ways to connect using kind of the same thing but not, it's all over the place.

After dealing with TCP/IP and UDP in datacenters and cloud almost my entire career it's refreshing to have something that still invokes a sense of mystery and satisfaction on figuring it out.

Successfully connected my Macintosh Plus to #globaltalk ! Had a few hiccups since the tashrouter on my TashTalk was causing network port conflicts, but after turning it off temporarily I'm now able to browse other Zones and load things up over AppleShare.

Next steps are to setup my own share, setup Basilik II in a VM to be available 24/7 and get it to behave with my TashTalk.

@kalleboo If I can get a screenshot and a short blurb I’ll include it - finalising release files!

For a #MARCHinitosh it’s been a busy February!
