SheepShaver が重宝するのは古い音楽系（MIDI）のアプリを使いたい時ですかねぇ・・・😆

#SheepShaver のMacOS9上でAppleWorks6もしっかり動作しています。arm64にネイティブ対応しているので、最新のApple SiliconなMacintoshに切り替えても問題なし😆

Almost nobody knows that I was an editor at MacUser magazine. That's because I got hired just about 4 months before the merger between Ziff-Davis' #MacUser and IDG's #MacWorld.

I ended up bouncing to PC World, where I stayed for a decade.

I was hired because I was an inveterate Mac tinkerer, while just a novice editor. So imagine my surprise as I discovered a feature I've never seen before in a Mac system.

I knew the (OS 8.1) system's text editor, SimpleText, had text-to-speech tools built right into the front end. What I didn't know is that, among the range of voices you can choose to read aloud whatever is in the text editor, is a voice called Pipe Organ that literally sings whatever text is in the document in a style I can only describe as 60s-robotic-Gregorian Chant.

And the best part? The tune the voice kind of sings along with is March of the Marionette, otherwise known as the theme song from the TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

You have *not* experienced "new features" documentation about software until you've had it sung to you by a mournful robot with a Hitchcock fetish.

I *knew* there was an advantage to being an infosec researcher with an interest in #retrocomputing

ClamAV has a vulnerability that can only be triggered when it scans a specially made HFS+ partition file. HFS+ is the partition format for Apple Macs starting with Mac OS 8.1.

My experience with the #PiSCSI and #sheepshaver #emulator has prepared me for this day. Lookin to make me some #retromalware 😜

SheepShaver gives me the warm fuzzies.
Playing with MacOS 9 at 1080p with a modern touchpad is just so nice. i wish I could use it with modern software.

Trying to get #macstodon working again. The good news is, I made it further past authentication. The bad news is, #sheepshaver errors. Running on a PowerMac G4 Mac OS 9.2. #mac #vintagemac

@kiwired i'm running #MacOS9 in #qemu qemfor the most part. It's much more stable the #sheepshaver since it doesn't hack into the OS but also much slower b/c of this

😔 Maybe someone knows of a classic mac Mastodon client?

Emulation is indeed a powerful tool!

Here is an application, programmed in #HyperCard witch uses XCMD and XFCN resources themself programmed in C, that works fine on a #SheepShaver virtual machine under Windows.
