PROJECTS - 070125 - PicoMicroMac FIRMWARE UPDATE!
After spending yesterday afternoon wresting control of Apricot away from its former CEO (who might have just been an off duty Micro Center employee), I am now the CEO of Palm Inc!
Now I just need several ̵c̵̵h̵̵u̵̵m̵̵p̵̵s̵̵ angel investors who don't know what ROI is, and the unearned support of the community!
Since anyone can now claim that they're the CEO of a failed computer brand, I wanted to announce that I am the new chief executive officer of Apricot Computers!
First order of business, find out who still owns the brand, see if there's a rival CEO, and fight them to the death 'Amok Time' style!
Just a heads up that Sean Lee Robinson aka "Geek with Social Skills" has been sniffing around again. Folks who may not know, this is the guy who scammed members of the vintage computer, telecom, arcade and console communities.
Made a video about this loser:

Don't get scammed!
Seeing all the LucasArts remastered titles for 75% off on @steampowered.com makes we sad that @doublefine.com was never able to give "Sam & Max: Hit the Road" the same treatment.

Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert’s ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects.
Now you too can be a previously undiscovered Apple easter egg!
Just insert any image of your choosing into the blanks, and enjoy the instant satisfaction of being undiscovered for nearly 30 years!
Amaze your friends! Confuse your enemies!
(Thanks, Downtown Doug Brown for the discovery)
My "signed" Bozo photos arrived! The inclusion of a photo of the Elrod T. Potter character dates the set from 1971-1972.
And yes, the photos smell like someone's grandma's attic.
Pico Micro Mac (v3) is back in stock at Joe's Computer Museum!
It’s a cheap and easy way to emulate a Macintosh 128K leveraging the Pi Pico.
It's the world's smallest and most affordable hardware Macintosh Emulator! Just add Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor and power, and you got a tiny little 128K Macintosh, ready to use! Available as an assembled board without a Pico, or ready to go with a Pico! While you're at it, why not pick up a cool Printed Case for it and make it look like an itsy-bitsy Quadra 650? Please Note: This updated version does not require the SD Card Hat - it's fully integrated now! Need a starter disk image for use with an SD Card? Download Ron's Awesome Disk Image! Want to replace the baked in ROM boot image? Use the Easy Firmware and Disk Image Creator: http://picomac.bluescsi.com/ You'll need an "On-The-Go" USB Hub for keyboard and mouse. We suggest this!
