Burger Becky was a goddamn legend. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to just -have lunch- with her at Kansasfest 2019.

Her stories of the games industry were enthralling.

Greetings from 1Bit, RToD, Superbenk, 68kradio, and others.

You know it’s #MARCHintosh when you walk past the basement stair and wonder what’s wrong with the furnace blower and suddenly remember you’re on #GlobalTalk and someone is printing to your ImageWriter II.

ALL UNREGULATED LINEAR POWER SUPPLIES ALL THE TIME!

I would sure hope that all the PSUs have been updated to more modern / efficient models (where possible).

YOU: Someone who'd like to give me their Macintosh PowerPC Processor Upgrade Card.

LET'S CONNECT! ;)

WAIT.. that's what you're supposed to do with the cable?!?

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only dev with a deep-seated belief in the power of a sittable chair. To add to my thoughts in the video: I think in-game sittable chairs allow devs to be gracious hosts to their players, to help them feel welcome to an experience without an expectation to act.🪑

You say that like Willard Scott peeing in the milkshakes didn't end the day he was fired.

I love seeing the stuff from the old infoclub days!

Apple did what now?

I call BS on this whole documentary unless it includes a five minute clip of Lee Ving just absolutely destroying Lorne's office.

Thank you for sharing this! Hal is a Hollywood legend and an amazing storyteller!

Yes. It's at Galloping Ghost up near Chicago.

Love that game!

"I'm on System 7.1, why do I get an error connecting to certain shares on #GlobalTalk?"

It's very possible that those shares are larger than 2GB. Older versions of MacOS have a hard 2GB limit.

"What do I do??"

Try updating to 7.5.3 or higher. Later versions support 4GB and larger partitions.

I don’t know if there is a reward for dumbest retro pc endeavor on youtube, but I might be aiming for it.

I'm just glad Roy Orbison didn't live to see this.

When I say I LOVE #MARCHintosh and #GLOBALTalk that is not lip service. It is the best time of year in the best community. Having so many vintage Macs networked together around the world is amazing. (1/2)

I don't know. 'Aliens' is pretty good. Also the second 'Clue' movie.

Not a well known addon, but MOE32 definitely helped early Mac users keep their Stooges properly configured.

YouTube video by Ron's Computer Videos Day of the Tentacle (Non-interactive Demo) - 1995 - Macintosh Version

For just like the briefest moment in time, #LucasArts produced non-interactive demo versions of their games Macintosh. Why does that matter? Well, it was sort of a big deal to get these games ported over (thanks, @aarongiles.com). #MARCHintosh

They don’t like it that the leadership of scouting realized that an additional 50% of the population could benefit from the aims and methods of the program.

Not a single member in the Trump administration could make it in scouting. They’re too soft.

Still, who could even afford 64mb of RAM back in the day? ;)
