Last week, I had a chance to visit @hypertalking’s (James’s) excellent collection of Mac-related stuff. He’s particularly interested in collecting 1990s Macs, which is the era of Apple history I don’t have a lot of personal experience with, so it was doubly exciting.
Here are some 100 photos from that visit:
James’s work has recently gone viral! He meticulously recreated a few of Hokusai's views of Mount Fuji in the original Mac’s resolution and 1-bit colour.
I got to see them all in person! https://kottke.org/23/05/great-wave-off-kanagawa-in-all-its-1-bit-pixelized-glory
Wow, BBC Basic for the Mac, complete with 6502 assembler and emulator. Published in 1989 by Human-Computer Interaction Ltd, which is David Johnson-Davies, former head of AcornSoft. What an offering - and how did the licensing work out, I wonder - the BBC were very protective.
Download it here - also a video preview

@EdS @mwichary better yet download from the Macintosh Garden https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/bbc-basic-the-macintosh
that repository site you linked basically steals everything from the garden and makes money off it.
