Maybe next year at #vcfse I can do a Mac OS X software development focus: I could work through the 1st edition #BigNerdRanch guide in 10.1, and maybe run the NeXTstation next to it for comparison. And a Classic Mac with CodeWarrior.

I know a guy who worked at Metrowerks, maybe I could convince him to come and do a Q&A 🤔

I didn’t realize #TheStopBits would be at #vcfse! Listening to them now. / @ActionRetro

Issues with OS X installers, but 9.2.1 went on great and that’s what matters.

Maybe at #vcfse next year I can do one table of solo Marathon games (one for each in the trilogy) and one table with a multiplayer match.

@applepc ooh I might reference those for next year. My exhibits at #vcfse this year were mostly OSes that didn't have anything to do. But next year I want to focus on games, the web, and maybe programming

Did something pretty fancy on the web page for my #vcfse exhibit: on desktop it shows photos of three computers next to each other, but on mobile it shows totally different photos: individual photos of each computer.

This is because, since the computers were so close together, in cropped photos you can see the computer to the left and right, and that looks weird on desktop.

Not the fanciest CSS, just not something I've had the need to do before!

Watching an Apple #Lisa documentary. Realizing that the compromises in the Macintosh system software were necessary to hit the price point where it could start building momentum. Lisa made the "correct" technical decisions and that's a key reason it was too expensive to succeed. So that was the origin of the OS design limitations that Apple eventually had to get a new OS to overcome. #vcfsoutheast #vcfse https://www.classiccomputing.com/Classic_Computing/Lisa_Film.html

Me: exhibits a Power Mac G3 B&W on July 20, 2024

Everyone: "Ah yes, the machine most historically famous for running Windows NT"

Yup, he finished it, in literally one sitting! #vcfsoutheast #vcfse
Booted up Myst on the 7500, and after a few people did a few clicks each, one guy seems dedicated to finishing the game today, and that is Great. #vcfsoutheast #vcfse
