@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:

#Netatalk experts: any idea why, as of late, my AFP #GlobalTalk shares have been showing up with generic document icons on Mac OS 7.x? But the icons look just fine on Mac OS 9?
This started happening around the time I migrated my shares from my NAS over to a Raspberry Pi, and upgraded to Netatalk 4.3.2.
I've confirmed that the share folder permissions are the same on both systems, as well as the permissions on the hidden “.Icon$\r” files at the root of the shares. However the Finder does not allow me to change the icons via the Get Info screen (on both Mac OS 7 and 9), which seems to imply that there _is_ a permissions issue of some kind. Yet, folks can read and write to the shares just fine.
I tried deleting the hidden icon files, which made no difference (other than causing the default Netatalk icon to show on Mac OS 9, since I removed the custom icon). Changing the "legacy icon" option in the Netatalk config also makes no difference, other than making a different Netatalk icon show on Mac OS 9.
