Karl BaronI want a "HyperCard 2.3 plus Color drawing tools" for my kid to play with.
Basically just draw colorful cards and link between them to make an kid adventure game.
From what I've seen, SuperCard and HyperStudio both pivoted to "more advanced HyperCard for people who outgrew it" to handle things like advanced multimedia and resizable windows and might have a learning curve
Modern things are fine too as long as they're not exploitative

For anyone debugging memory issues in your Classic Mac OS program, I can recommend Metrowerks ZoneRanger, which shows a live view of memory allocations
In this demo, you can see how my old version allocates all those tiny blocks of memory for chat lines but then just leaks them, but the fixed version frees it
Legend: Red blocks are non-relocatable, yellow are relocatable (so they move around when the memory manager wants to), and green is free

Filmic FelixPaying tribute to the beauty of the Apple Xserve. We have a rack in our datacentre I usually think of as our legacy rack. There are six still present, though they are all powered down. Two or three had their backplanes swapped from raid to passthru so they could run ESXi. I have another 3 at home but similarly they are all powered down. They eat a lot of power and make a lot of noise but I remember them purring away in the old MDF running ALL THE SERVICES back when I was in highschool as a tech TA.

@kalleboo a few weeks ago i picked up a free PM G5 box someone was going to toss out.
last night i finally opened up the box. it had some documentation sitting at the bottom of the box, probably from when the owner had replaced their dying G4 with the G5.
i would not be surprised at all if this was a common failure point on the G4. (that, and those psu caps have to be just pooched after 30 years)
All my #MARCHintosh projects this year have been developed exclusively using this guy here, the iMac "puck mouse”. Countless hours put on it
This guy has seen a lot of vitriol over the years and been berated for being "a terrible design" but honestly it's worked absolutely perfectly for me this year. Not a single problem or misgrip. It started slipping a bit once, but a quick clean of the rollers and it has tracked true ever since
I do not understand the haters!
