Woo-hoo! That looks to be it. I was able to open the file with StuffIt Expander and... ta-dah! 🎉 Nice find @eric.scsi.blue
I just came across these photos from 2016, it sure would be nice to have these storage prices again!
I checked the December '98 Apple Dev CDs, and didn't find anything relevant (upon a quick few searches). However, this website has a few tidbits. www.wap.org/journal/what... (More 1998 Apple Dev CDs: macintoshgarden.org/apps/apple-d...) I'll let you know if I stumble upon anything interesting!
Independence Day (ID4) is one of my favorite movies. Years ago I grabbed this DVD while in Japan, I’m just opening it now and it’s wonderful! 🤩
God the Monster resume builder they force you to use is 100% AI crap! You upload your carefully made resume and it builds something STUPID out of it... and it wants to instantly send it out to companies. WHY?! Look how it introduced typos and removed links... I'm never using their website again! 😡
PSA 🔥 Solar lights can start fires on hot days! We smelled wood burning and thought someone was having a BBQ. Turns out, our barrel planter and grill was burning up! We think the sun melted the bulb & wires, igniting the dry plants & wood. Glad we caught it in time, it did some nasty damage! 😳
The Star Wars / Laserdisc nerd’s dilemma… 📀 #Maythe4thbewithyou #StarWars #LaserDisc
That’s where a hoard of old Macs and removable cartridge SCSI drives come in handy! 😅
Welcome to Aladdin!✨ (I assume this is the code name of AOL for Macintosh)
Random SyQuest disk find of the day: AOL for Macintosh source code from 1993!? Whaaatttt?! 😳 Look at those original icons with the Apple logo in them! #ArchiveEverything
⚡️IT’S ALIVE!⚡️ After replacing nearly every roller, recapping two boards, replacing the toner and breaking some tiny plastics… my Apple LaserWriter 630 Pro is now online on GlobalTalk. Be gentle! 😅
Two steps forward, but three steps back with the LaserWriter Pro 630… 🫠
My geeky heart is so full today 💚 I got to visit the new Apple exhibit at MIMMS and spent time with some of my favorite people. What an amazing place, so many things I’ve never seen before, and so many wonderful folks! 😍 #mimmsmuseum #byte26 mimmsmuseum.org
There is a version of the QT3 SDK for Mac on this 1998 disc: archive.org/details/disc... There are probably others on the Apple Developer Connection CDs. They are on the Internet Archive, but not all discs have searchable indexes to make it easy to find. archive.org/download/App...
Windows: Insert CD. Me: Okay... *inserts CD* Windows: NO,NOT LIKE THAT!! 💥 Happy #MARCHintosh ?
It's sooo cool, seeing the PicoIDE in Mac OS X. Here's a Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver) running 10.4.11 with the PicoIDE set to IDE (hard drive) mode. It sees the drive fine and will even boot to it! 👍 Video coming soon! 🌐 picoide.com Pre-order yours: www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics... #picoide
My early PS2 with FreeMcBoot sadly did not see my beta PicoIDE unit. However, it is early days and I wouldn't be surprised if support is eventually added. I had to jump through hoops to get the thing to even plug into my network adapter (by fulling opening it), as the ports don't line up.
