I may have made a _very_ expensive impulse buy... merry early Xmas to myself I guess 😅 Crazy story though, this Rocket popped up on eBay this morning, I saw it was from a Canadian seller and so I decided to spring for it. The seller messaged me 5 minutes later, turns out he lives two blocks away from me… I didn't even notice the city when I bought it 🤣 So…he just walked it over, and now I have a Radius Rocket for my IIfx! (and yes, I have a massive and ever-growing #retrocomputing project backlog to get through, but this immediately gets bumped to the top of the list!) #VintageMac #68k #Apple #Mac #MacOS #ClassicMac

Since all my old posts didn’t copy over, here’s an #introduction post: I do #vintageMac and #vintagePC repairs, restorations, and janky modding on my Saturday noon eastern streams. I work on random other electronics as well. I like soldering, but my skills are questionable. Https://youtube.com/bigbadbench

I miss this aesthetic in software. #Macintosh #VintageApple #HyperCard #VintageMac

If you've got an idea that you can use the 68k.social domain for, or just want to continue hosting a snac or Mastodon or whatever instance there, please get in touch. For someone who won't just domain squat or flip it, I can give the domain over to you. Get in touch! 😄 #RetroComputing #VintageMac #RetroMac #Macintosh #68k

The 12” PowerBook G4 is one of my favorite classic Macs, it’s so tiny, cute, and convenient! #VintageMac

Just happen to see this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48283099 https://github.com/mplsllc/macsurf "MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS" Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually. #PowerPC #G3 #Retrocomputing #VintageMac #Apple #Macintosh #PPC

I made a thing! Come help out? retrorepro.wiki — a catalogue of modern reproduction parts for vintage computers. Reloaded logic boards, 3D-printable brackets, replacement chips, analog board recreations and more. Mac-heavy right now (that's what my bookmarks look like), but Commodore and IBM PC sections are coming. Missing something? Account requests are open. https://retrorepro.wiki/Main_Page (Who wants to make a logo?) #vintagemac #vintagecomputers #vintageapple #retrocomputing

"sit", the modern Unix-based StuffIt archive creation tool, has been updated with a few bug fixes:

• better support for special characters, so you can include "Work ƒ" or "Project.π" or "Business®App™" and preserve those names when expanding.
• names containing a slash could not be expanded on classic Mac OS
• never overwrite an existing file; if "archive.sit" exists then create "archive-1.sit" instead, and so on.
