Karl BaronHere are all of the printouts I received on <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a> for <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a>! Thank you everyone!

MARCHintoshWhomever spent the month of <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> trying to print PDF files to ImageWriter printers, you owe me about 7lbs of wasted tractor feed paper LOL

Karl BaronRight now is an extremely stressful and uncertain period of my life, and <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> has meant so much to keep me sane right now I don't have the words to express it. I truly mean it when I thank everyone who just has tried out something I built for <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a>, left a message or printout, sent me mail(!!!) or even just liked one of my toots. This has all made March my absolute favorite time of the year that I look forward to more than Xmas. Lots of love to you all! :apple_inc: (5/5)

Karl BaronAnd my second <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> is over! Another great year!My stated goals were 1. Release TalkCrawler 2. Rewrite the networking in GlobalTalk Chat 3. Recap a IIvi/IIcx to replace my PB540 as routerAn unstated goal was 4. To get a printer on <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a>I completed 1 in time for March 1, and 2 by the middle of the month, 2 felt like redemption for something that felt like failure last year. Never had the time/desk space for 3, but maybe that'll be a good post-March project? <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/mb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mb</a>… (1/5)

europlus :autisminf:March is now over everywhere on earth, which means <a href="https://social.europlus.zone/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> is done for another year.Thanks for all the memories, folks, the good and the bad.The joy and gratitude I see across the <a href="https://social.europlus.zone/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a> community is what keeps me coming back, and overcomes any negative vibes I encounter (definitely a singular experience!).<a href="https://social.europlus.zone/tags/WOzFest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WOzFest</a> HQ will remain online, as will <a href="https://social.europlus.zone/tags/Airaga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Airaga</a> Base, and I’ll keep refining my resources, including the Addendum and my QEMU/UTM setup files, and I look forward to next year!

I always like seeing what people get up to; I was going to see if I could get a few of my old machines online this time, but I never got a chance.It's pretty nerdy, but I never get tired of stuff like seeing someone surf Mastodon on an Apple II.

jack68kLooks like Netatalk 4.2.0 was released just in time for the end of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a>! There's a long list of changes in the release notes that I'm looking forward to digesting before upgrading.<a href="https://netatalk.io/4.2/ReleaseNotes4.2.0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://netatalk.io/4.2/ReleaseNotes4.2.0</a>It has been fantastic to have a set of file shares that are accessible from System 7 through current macOS!

RetroSwimFollowing the end of <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a>, I have an announcement, with nothing to do with classic Macs 😂😂If you've enjoyed VogonsDrivers.com before, and it's helped you revive a retro PC, prepare to enjoy it in a whole new way!Pool's Open - The RetroSwim BBS telnet://ezycom.retroswim.net:2323The full 80GB archive of VogonsDrivers, now browsable, searchable*, and downloadable on more systems than ever!Grab a Wifi232/WiModem and get connected on any device with a serial port and a terminal!

Dan Morgan :ksu:HyperCard: I remember being disappointed when it didn’t get the attention it deserved when color became so important in Mac OS 7.x. I don’t know why I quit creating stacks but I did. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marchintosh</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/hypercard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypercard</a>I’m playing with it a lot in fully booted OS 9 (not emulated or in Classic mode on OS X). OS 9 screams on both my low end G3 and G4s and so does HyperCard. And now in 2025, the 1-bit icons and dithered images are delightful. Yes, I’ve reach the “vinyl” stage of my computing life. (Remember when computers sounded so much warmer when we we used punch cards?)

Scott Small 🇨🇦It's time for a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> retrospective!Firstly: I've attached a photo of the remaining gifts to the drop box that have come in since the 15th!Secondly: I've completed a final pass-over of the servers on <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a>, left my calling card, and a print job for anyone who hasn't had one yet (as long as they have open file shares/printers). Results of that are attached as well.Finally, the retrospective itself:It's been an absolutely CRAZY month: - On Day 1, my SE came home from the workshop with a fully-serviced floppy drive and '030 accelerator... - ...which I didn't even end up playing with at all, because on Day 2 I bought a Power Mac 6500 for an absolute steal (and I STILL have to explore the other external HD that came with it) - GlobalTalk completely dominated the month just like it did last year. I rebuilt my QEMU VM for running AIR a couple nights before the start of the month and it's been absolutely rock solid stable ever since. - I made great progress on my project for the month, archiving my collection of Mac floppies from the early 90's. I'm only about 40% done, so this will continue into April as "bonus content" 😁 - No updates on <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Macstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Macstodon</a> - but I did verify that it works perfectly fine on Mastodon 4.3 if you manually authenticate by copying the URL to a modern machine, and copying the auth token back to your Mac.Lastly I want to give thanks to everyone in the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VintageMac</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> community for making this such a fun event every year! I love seeing all the greetings showing up in my drop box, and to my printer (which is now off for the year - but the PDF printer is available year round!) But I especially want to thank the following folks: - <a href="https://bitbang.social/@kalleboo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kalleboo</a> for TalkCrawler and for putting together an amazing GlobalTalk scavenger hunt! - <a href="https://social.europlus.zone/@europlus" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@europlus</a> for his hard work on the AIR Administrator's Manual Addendum and VM images for QEMU! - <a href="https://mastodon.social/@scj" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@scj</a> for the GlobalTalk updater app! - <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@theirongiant" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@theirongiant</a> for 68K Radio, which has been my background music while working on my vintage Macs this month! - <a href="https://bitbang.social/@polpo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@polpo</a> for creating the ImageScribbler card which made it possible to send print jobs to so many more people this year! - <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@dmark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dmark</a> for maintaining netatalk, making it possible to share files over AppleTalk directly from my NAS instead of having to keep an old Mac running all the time! - <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/@DrJosh9000" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DrJosh9000</a> for jrouter, which I'm looking forward to trying again now that the month is over and I can start messing around with my setup - it's had a lot of bugfixes and updates! - <a href="https://mastodon.social/@_the_cloud" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@_the_cloud</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/@jimluther" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jimluther</a> , for sharing great knowledge from their time at Apple with the community (and for helping me troubleshoot some crashes)! - <a href="https://bitbang.social/@RonsCompVids" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@RonsCompVids</a> , <a href="https://oldbytes.space/@MuseumJoe" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MuseumJoe</a> , and <a href="https://bitbang.social/@mac84tv" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mac84tv</a> for putting together the annual MARCHintosh event!Until next year!

RetroSwimI went on a printing spree for the last day of <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> on <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a>The progress bar when using MacPalette to print colour is fascinating, the little animation shows magenta for a while, then yellow, then cyan, then black at the end. Surely this isn't how the print goes? I was sure that colour dot matrix did all the colours for one band in 4 passes.Anyway, if you got 2 jobs from me at any stage, I was having random crashes with my Graphite PowerMac G4, I think OS9.2 might be trashed.

Ken McLeodOn the last day of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a>, here is a trivia quiz... Who can name all twelve of these classic Mac apps from the 1980s, based on their icons? (Sorry, no alt text for this image.)

Karl BaronWith 15 minutes to go until the end of <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> here, I present the full monthly chart of the growth of <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a> zones and machines!

Ian Scott :apple_inc: 🐙I got an absolutely wonderful print on my ImageWriter II from <a href="https://bitbang.social/@Btb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Btb</a>. Happy <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> back to Minna!
