👴 Na, wer von euch erinnert sich noch an macOS 9? Auf der #Macoun23 erzählt @uliwitness , wie das original MacOS damals funktionierte, und schreibt ein kleines Programm. Ohne Speicherschutz, ohne präemptives Multitasking, ohne App-Frameworks. Tickets: https://macoun.de/anmelden

Woah https://infinitemac.org/ is an amazing, browser-based classic Mac emulator. I love time capsules like these.

I obtained an #Apple #PowerBook G3 "Pismo" to tinker with, it's in pretty good shape. It was originally released in February 2000, powered by an IBM/Motorola #PowerPC 750 processor. It came with #MacOS 9.0.4 installed, a "Classic" era version developed before the engineers from NeXT completely rebuilt Apple's system software. This laptop is much bulkier than modern MacBooks, but on the other hand it's impressively easy to upgrade and repair, even without a screwdriver.

I uploaded an interesting CD I found while traveling in Norway last year.
https://archive.org/details/kodak-business-game-1998
This is a CD containing a Kodak "Business Game", released in ~1998, for MacOS.
The "game" involves various videos and text documentation relating to Kodak and it's business practices. It's presented in #Swedish, #Norwegian, #Finnish, and #Danish.
Does anyone have more info on this?

This is a CD containing a Kodak "Business Game", released in ~1998, intended for MacOS.
The "game" seems to be basically going through various videos and text documentation relating to Kodak and it's general business practices.
Does anyone have more information on this?

Damn, I’m feeling some deep nostalgia right now of using Mac OS 9 and BBEdit to build some of my first web pages back in the day. 😭 I remember after first learning HTML on Windows one of my first web gigs was writing HTML for this small company in Chelsea which was the first time I used a Mac I think? I can barely remember.
A bit late to the party, but yesterday was busy busy.

@danirabbit it's happening!! ♥️🍻🕺
Saying goodbye (possibly forever) to #macOS, saying hello to @elementary on my late 2014 #mac #macmini. The "elementary mini" shall join the ranks of my five other Linux devices: my gaming PC "big rig" (#kdeneon ), my "main laptop" (#ubuntustudio ), my two "backup laptops" (running #manjaro Xfce and #Fedora37 Xfce respectively, and configured to look like #windows95 and #macos9 respectively), and of course, the #SteamDeck (with, #steamos)!
6 devices, all running various #distros of #linux - 3 #ubuntu based, 2 #archlinux based, 1 #fedora. And 3 with #KDE, 2 with #Xfce, and 1 with #pantheon, but with asymmetrical distribution! All six will play some degree or another of a role in the production and distribution of the #podcast!
Looking forward to getting to explore and delve into #elementary !! Hopefully I'll have some updates soon!! 🍻

There. I did something productive with Nadia (my Lombard) today.

Wrapped up some #hamradio and #retrocomputing fun this weekend at https://kd9cpb.com/imac
Nothing beats connecting a nearly 25 year old computer to the internet, what can possibly go wrong :)

Are you such an old school Mac user that you’re still running System 7, or Mac OS 9? If you are, or know someone who is, there’s a Mastodon client just for you! 😳:mastodon:

@digichelle #MacOS9 runs just fine via #QEMU on #AppleSilicon Macs. I use it via UTM.app. Give it a try.
If anyone's wondering, my profile picture and banner are actually from the Platinum9 theme made by Grassmunk, modeled after MacOS 9 / System 7.
https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9
It's a nice little theme that supports the GNU/Linux icon set standards, includes wallpapers, fonts and themes for Xfwm4 and GTK.

Here's a thing: at some point around the year 2000 I must have saved the Flash file that ran the front end of The Designers Republic web site. And it plays in QuickTime! (Sorry about the dodgy filming, no idea if it's possible to do a screen recording in #MacOS9.) #design #graphicDesign #MITDR

Unless I find a better way, I'm using Photoshop 5.0 to convert #MacOS9 PICT screenshots to PNG format and a FAT32-formatted USB stick to get them onto a modern machine.
Found an intriguing folder of 'Designers Republic' fonts on an old disc. I vaguely recall someone emailing this to me, but I'm not sure if they really were used by DR. Or if there's any way of opening these (PostScript?) font files on a modern Mac. Even opening the bitmap versions might be fun. #typography #design #macOS9
