This will be my forum for IT security and reliability, high tech and high science … but also retro tech, old Apple stuff … no really old … no, older than that. It's helpful for each audience to have these accounts separated.

Happy 37th Anniversary WWDC! (for those who celebrate). I was in the Apple II Developer Technical Support group at that time, and got a t-shirt 😄

age verification but it's just a dialog box that asks "are you old" and the answers are "yes" and "maybe later"
