At the intersection between Classic Macintosh and Tiny Computing.... sits me.
#Marchintosh
I grabbed two of the kokogols before they are gone to become more PiMacs. The plastics on these is amazing and the floppy switch is impossible to not use.
NEW EPISODE! Atari Party 2025 was last month and I got to chat with a bunch of amazing people!
Have you played Atari today?

It's actually 2025.
If you like retro games for obscure computers, my Sharp MZ game Numbertron is available for whatever you want to pay at @itch.io.
Today is Creator Day, so there is no platform fee if you decide to pay for the game.
It's a 1/2 player puzzler. Turn based Tron with numbers.

And I've updated it a bit with more fun and a teaser for the next version. Also some easter eggs -- if you find them let me know here.
The itch page has both a standard 40 col version for the Atari and a cool 60 column that is very readable and my favorite.

New version is up- same basic gameplay (finish it in 10 min) but I got rid of the bugs and polished it up a bit. Inspired by the Atari Party. I figure I'll just continue to add to this every year when the Party reminds me about this project.

I posted an updated and bugfixed version of Atari Party Panic- a text adventure that takes place in a very familiar Train station... Play the raw z3 or load the Atari 8bit ATR on your favorite Atari emulation....

Nice turn out again this year.

We had four of us playing 5 Card Stud on the FujiNet Game System - a 1088, 400, 2600 and 800XL - all playing the same game together with Fujinet!
The show was another blast thanks for making this happen again Pete.

The mid-point of #MARCHintosh is here. My MDN is up to issue 8 and is going out to various printers on #globaltalk. If you have a PS printer and want a copy send me a message with your zone and printer name!
This is totally useful info. I need to also print to IW from my 9.2.2 system!
Marchintosh Daily News 1st page
Conversion of emoji into plain text for better context reading posts
Not so many #marchintosh postings here -- so now my MARCHintish Daily New (MDN) contains both content from bsky and mastodon, conveniently sorted by time! And it converts emoji for you for the full experience on paper.
Screenshot of the first MARCHintosh Daily News - and this text itself will appear in the next issue and so it's very meta. News on posts tagged for MARCHintosh
Looks like my project MARCHintosh Daily News worked it self out. I take the last 24 hours of posts here tagged with #marchintosh and print them via Page Maker 4. Europlus has a PDF printer and will host - "PDFs will be placed in the MARCHintosh Daily News folder in the WOzFest HQ Files share."
PPC Macintosh with period mouse to get some things done.
I like to use/enjoy #MARCHintosh to give me a reason to sit and experience apps and admin on my retro Macs. I'm sure many do the same. So it's amazing to see the difference between Systems 7.5.x on '040 and 9.2.2 on PPC. The amount of refinement- especially around networking (Appletalk!) Is Nice.
Say what you will about Apple but controlling the ecosystem saved the most precious element in the world... time. Having used lots of printers in corp and private places with dozens of Macs- Printing in Classic MacOS was near bulletproof and almost magic. Printing in OSX is just pain.

I think I found a Optics and Design card in the wild...

I have a special surprise going out this morning to any of the LW or PDF printers I can see on #globaltalk. If any of you have a PDF printer and get my job I'd appreciate a copy of the PDF- or I could be not lazy and setup my own PDF emulation.
#Marchintosh
ok @ronscompvids.bsky.social I'm here.
A cream-colored LUMON tote bag and a pamphlet that reads “The Macrodata Refiner’s Orientation Booklet”
I asked the #Severance pop-up guard in Grand Central if the actors would be coming back later or if it was a one-day thing and he looked me dead in the eye and said “Lumon Industries doesn’t employ actors. Please learn more about the company through this pamphlet” and handed me a tote 💀 iconic
