Macintoshes IIsi, Performa 6360, and Quadra 605.

@mjgardner Yes! To my mind, a good manager would have recognised why they feel something is off, and figured out that maybe they expect more from the worker than they've already communicated, and the connection & discussion should have already happened beforehand.

Same picture. Same bullshit.

The best Condensed Regular laptop in the Univers.

@eliocamp @jonny 68k assembly.

Mosquitos get tetrodotoxin.

You get to make one change to any single genus of animal that’s immediately applied to all of its members worldwide.

What do you change for maximum chaos?

Today's project is re-writing Catalina for 8-bit support, but I'm having issues getting logging in to work. Or actually anything at all. Honestly this is just fever dreaming isn't it. Am I real?

The 128D is real, though, and one of the better looking Commodore 8-bit machines.

They just don't put thought into design like they used to.

The longer you look, the calmer you feel.

Dual layer VHS.

@billgoats C is for Cheddar.

@foone It's probably the artist in me but anything that's large, square, purple, and made of a ceramic that goes *clink* has my vote.

The 68040 and 486 are both solid implementations of the platonic ideal CPU.

Sometimes I forget how beautiful The Trout is, and someone has to come up to me in a parking lot, point to it and go "Nice. I really like it... Nice" and then I'm proud again.

you can live to get old ok? just so you know. I know that's not terribly big to anybody but us, but I think it’s important to know when it may not feel a given. time passes and the world is sometimes shit but it's also kind and surprising with decades of this wonderfulness behind me and more to come.

Freshly cleaned-up Apple IIe brochure from 1986, with crops & bleed.

Not quite print ready, as one of the sections is a 6-pager with a folded part, not all 4-page sections to staple together, but it's nice and clean to look at.

An early #Appril2/#AprilApples thing.

It's 4450CE. Humanity has reached and explored the stars. We've solved poverty and hunger, we make good use of resources and take care of all sentient life.

Two arbitrary users with devices loaded to the gills with storage & communications still cannot simply send a file from one to another.

@europlus @nygl @kalleboo I'm kind of surprised at how well the Quadra and PowerBook are running with 7.1 and AIR here - I suppose as it's mostly early 90s os, macs, and networking it's not trying to push things.

Normally it's connected to my NAS permanently in 7.x with 8.x appleshare jammed in, and just the tiniest bit unstable.

Not daily, but weekly falling over.

But this, this is a stability I'm unfamiliar with!

The modern office, 1983.
