Yes, it would be awesome to use the #VintageApple icons in #XFCE.

Einen slowenischen Triglav erwarten wir dieses Jahr zwar nicht, aber so ein paar andere längst vergangene Computer-Exoten sind auch beim diesjährigen Vintage Computer Festival Europe dabei: 1.-3. Mai in München. Alles, was ihr wissen müsst, findet ihr auf der Webseite: https://vcfe.org/D/

Zuletzt in München gesehen ward der Triglav zum VCFe 8.0, also 2007. In einer Ausstellung zusammen mit ein paar anderen Osteuropäern.

@gamesthatwerent Thanks for the boost and faves, appreciated. The demo of the never-finished AGA Amiga version of Moon Child can be downloaded here, along with many screenshots, videos, music and more:

A somewhat unusual "Macintosh" for this year's MARCHintosh offering...

Here is my Atari 520ST running Spectre, a Macintosh emulator (or translator, perhaps more accurately) which features actual Macintosh Plus ROMs (user must provide) and in 1989 (along with Magic Sac which preceded it in 1986) was "the only legal Macintosh clone." Gadgets by Small, who made the device, called it 20% faster than a Mac Plus, with a 30% larger screen size (640x400 on the ST monochrome display vs. 512x342 on the early Macs). 

The Atari 520STm shown here features an 8MHz MC68000, has been expanded to 4MB RAM (up from 512K), features an HxC2001 floppy emulator, an ACSI2STM hard disk emulator, and dual Atari RGB and monochrome monitors, switchable with a Monitor Master switchbox. The 12-inch SM124 monitor showing Pinball Construction Set for Mac is nearly identical to the early Mac monochrome displays in terms of clarity, the distinctive bluish P4-class phosphor, and its overall "presence." It is a very nice display running at a rock-solid 71Hz.

(A similar series of devices, beginning with the A-Max, was released by ReadySoft for the Commodore Amiga in 1989, though I found the ST options more appealing, in large part due to the superb high-res, non-interlaced monochrome display the ST supported.)

FrogFind's "Catch of the Day": Sleeping with the Enemy? (Internet Explorer for Mac!) 🍏🤝🪟

Hey Retro Fans and have a great start to the week!

Today's Catch of the Day catapults us right back to 1997 – a time when Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Steve Jobs made an announcement that caused the Mac community to gasp in horror. Around 12:32 PM, this legendary agent appeared in our logs:

🏆 Internet Explorer 4.0 on Mac

Why is this so special?
At the 1997 Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs announced a partnership with their arch-rival, Microsoft. Bill Gates invested $150 million into Apple, and in return, Internet Explorer became the default web browser on all Macintosh computers (starting with Mac OS 8.1) for five years!

IE for Mac wasn't just a cheap Windows port, either. Microsoft had a dedicated, highly motivated Mac team that perfectly adapted the browser to match Apple's "Platinum" interface design. The fact that someone booted up this historical peace treaty between Apple and Microsoft this afternoon to visit FrogFind is pure computer romance.

Who needs Safari when you have IE 4? 😉
