I remember when Trump said he was going to fight the lawsuit... then quietly had the GOP write a check for the 25 million dollar settlement.

I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about this one. Bob "Dr. Macintosh" LeVitus is one of my favorite tech writers. Books, newspapers, magazines, blogs... you too have no doubt read his work.

He helped folks keep the faith even in some of the darkest times!

Chrono Trigger Soundtrack

Chrono Trigger Soundtrack

I thought about what I am going to make for the Chrono Trigger PC Big Box. It will be big 16"x16"x5" It will hold the PC Game on an Optical Disk, USB, Soundtrack CDs and for the reason it's huge It will include the vinyl soundtracks. I will include so many extras too. It's going to be huge.

The TAM is already a 250mhz 603e.

The card I'm talking about is a 601 upgrade for 040 machines.

Burger Becky was a goddamn legend. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to just -have lunch- with her at Kansasfest 2019.

Her stories of the games industry were enthralling.

You know it’s #MARCHintosh when you walk past the basement stair and wonder what’s wrong with the furnace blower and suddenly remember you’re on #GlobalTalk and someone is printing to your ImageWriter II.

I would sure hope that all the PSUs have been updated to more modern / efficient models (where possible).

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only dev with a deep-seated belief in the power of a sittable chair. To add to my thoughts in the video: I think in-game sittable chairs allow devs to be gracious hosts to their players, to help them feel welcome to an experience without an expectation to act.πŸͺ‘

I call BS on this whole documentary unless it includes a five minute clip of Lee Ving just absolutely destroying Lorne's office.

"I'm on System 7.1, why do I get an error connecting to certain shares on #GlobalTalk?"

It's very possible that those shares are larger than 2GB. Older versions of MacOS have a hard 2GB limit.

"What do I do??"

Try updating to 7.5.3 or higher. Later versions support 4GB and larger partitions.
