Vintage Apple user / collector and Sysop of Captain's Quarters I & II BBS (http://cqbbs.ddns.net ports 6502 & 6800), running on an Apple IIgs and Mac Mini. I search the internet daily for vintage Apple News for my BBS's.

Also a former BMX racer turned mountain biker, retro gamer, hack programmer, and owner of a dog that looks like a wolf! (My interests have changed very little since I was a teen...)

@squelch41 Got your print all the way from the UK along with a random cat!
@squelch41 The ImageWriter II is screeching away! 😬
@squelch41 Not bad for an ol' IIgs!
@squelch41 Ok, trying again! 😀

Announcing my third #MARCHintosh 2026 project - the MARCHintosh Canvas!

If you're familiar with Reddit's /r/place, pxls space, or Wplace, you’ll know what this is - a shared canvas anyone can place pixels onto in real-time.

Only this time, it's over the venerable AppleTalk protocol, with the public server accessible to anyone on #GlobalTalk :)

Feel free to drop by and leave your mark - available in the usual places (landisk, Blackbird) on BaroNet

We're halfway through #MARCHintosh already! 😢 Have you called your local #GlobalTalk BBS yet? It's a breeze to set up and get on via AppleTalk - full details here:

Released Flynn 1.9.4 today, a new Telnet client for 68k Macs. Includes many new features - 256 color, multi-session, ANSI-BBS terminal, additional emojii/glyphs, and many many bug fixes.

I've spent a lot if time testing and doing QA and it works well. Goal for next release is to improve drawing, latency and performance on my Macintosh Plus.

If you try it out and have any feedback or bug reports, please let me know.

Disk images are up on Github and Macintosh Garden.

TalkCrawler 1.1 is out. It adds search and you can click in the margin to add notes to an entry. Search will also search the notes so it’s handy for putting usernames/socials or something in if you like me easily forget who is what zone.

(Notes are limited to 255 chars so your draft of a love letter will not fit)

@micheal NP - CQ II has 10 nodes so you're not holding anyone up!
@theirongiant @acn128 @RonsCompVids @RToD @kalleboo Close - it actually runs on my Mac IIci.
