Does anyone remember ObjectSupportLib and the problems it could cause?

let's say, not entirely hypothetically, that we have a ResEdit TMPL. We want to convert it to an MPW Rez types file, so we can DeRez resources instead of mess with the GUI editor. Anyone got a tool handy for this?

March 14, 1984, Susan Kare demonstrates the Macintosh user interface on an episode of The Computer Chronicles. I love how she says “Mac,” not “the Mac.” #vintageMac #classicMac #Apple #Macintosh

Excerpts from Bill Atkinson’s last interview, with David Pogue. The bit about “loser-friendly” software made me laugh. What a brilliant and kind soul he was. #vintageMac #classicMac #Macintosh #Apple

@blakespot @siracusa I've also been working my way through tower Macs for the past 20+ years, and it's weird to think that my next "big desktop" won't be one (even after waiting the ~5 years that it now takes for them to fall into my price range on the used market).

My first tower Mac—after a series of "pizza boxes" that started with a Quadra 605—was a Performa 6400.

It was a wonderfully upgradeable machine at the time. It had room for a second hard drive, external SCSI (scanner, CD-R drive), internal slot for a modem, TV tuner slot, and two PCI slots.

I loved that machine. IIRC the reason I upgraded was that it wouldn't run Mac OS X when the Public Beta came out.

Working on UI tweaks to my VOID adventure game. I’ve been adjusting some icons based on feedback and would love to hear your opinions on a few variations!

It's #MARCHintosh, so I decided to post an update on my interactive fiction #HyperCard project.

Because I always have multiple projects in development, progress has been slow but steady—including the user interface, text parser, and other foundational under-the-hood development. The proof-of-concept UI is attached!

Please help with this project by offering your feedback, suggestions, and support:
