#Retrocomputing and #retrogaming enthusiast, amateur voice actor, #amateurradio operator, #3Dprinting enthusiast and weather geek.

Started in Jr High School using an Apple II+, but my parents could never afford one, so I ended up with Commodores instead!

Collection includes Apple, Commodore, Sinclair and Atari - whichever one I'm using depends on my whim at the moment... I also have an interest in things analog, including fountain pens, pencils, notebooks and journalling.

@europlus Good to hear - I've been thinking my next task is to build a System 7 VM on an older Mac Mini I have and move AIR over to it... that way I can keep at least one machine up on #GlobalTalk year round without needing to run the vintage stuff 24/7/365. That'll put me in a good position for next year's #MARCHintosh.

Overall, though, I think it was a great success for my first #MARCHintosh outing, despite the intrusion by real life for a couple of weeks LOL. I got the PowerBook cleaned up and rebuilt, and talking on #GlobalTalk, as well as to the G3 iMac next to it. Was also successful in getting the Imagewriter working as well.

My thanks to all who helped me in this process and provided sage advice to make it all come together! 🙂

Well, got as far as I could tonight... my thanks to everyone who visited, and apologies to all I couldn't get to. I'll try again tomorrow night in case anyone is still around after tonight. #MARCHintosh
Working on making a pass at the zones I haven't visited yet on this last day of #MARCHintosh... as for me, I'll probably leave Pikes Peak up through the weekend for anyone to visit if they get the chance.
@theirongiant LOL... no, just trying to make the most of the spirit of the month, I'll probably press on with exploring the network well into April. Just a little bummed real life got in the way a bit.
@blakespot Nice! I've never been one to sticker-bomb my MacBooks, but this looks cool! Closest I've ever come was a rainbow Apple logo that was cut to fit into the metal Apple logo on my last Mac's lid. Just got a new M5 this month and the lid is still virgin... need to think about what I can do with it.
Made a few more rounds around #GlobalTalk tonight... hope to stop by as many as I can tomorrow before time runs out for #MARCHintosh .

Haven't dropped off the face of the planet... finally got the carpeting work upstairs done and can refocus back on #MARCHintosh. I hope to jump online this evening and try to send out files and prints to as many folks as I can between now and Tuesday.

Thanks to all who have visited Pikes Peak and sent me your goodies!

@smallsco Receiving now - thanks again!
@smallsco Please, if you would - just got the ImageWriter working properly this evening. Thanks!
