and for my next trick, roundtrip image attachments !
This is the future I was promised in 1996. Email on the #appleNewton
A screenshot of a backlit Apple Newton "in box" showing a read email has arrived.
Black text on glowing green.
A screen shot of a modern email program. The from and to address is not visible, and the date is in 2039, but it contains the body "hello mum" and ".nwt" attachment.

I had an idea, started it, and could use anyone's help. Anyone want to start #Atari computers? #Acorns?

Here's my brother's PowerBook 3400c in all its 12.1 inch glory.
I've been playing with my is for a while now. While it was mostly OK, there were a few things I wanted to figure out:
- I wanted to archive and replace its hard drive before it fails.
- Ethernet didn't work with my gigabit switch, but that didn't surprise me; I believed it just needed a 100 Mbit one.
- For some reason, I wasn't able to get LocalTalk to work.

Dieses Platinen-Layout-Operation-System für den C 64 ist ein Leckerbissen und ein Muß für jeden Elektronikbastler. Endlich ist Schluß mit der mühseligen Kleberei von Platinen-Layouts. Das spart neben Geld, auch Zeit und Nerven.

Just about to finish my holiday in Mexico. Wanted to share how it started for me. I saw the #woz on my flight to cdmx. Didn't say hello, to shy; he's in bus class; I in economy. Was a great way to start the trip. Might have to move from #z80 to #6502. Did manage to be a bit of a paparazzi and grab this shot. He is probably very lucky I wasn't sitting next to him on the flight. Would pester him a lot and ask if he still wants to move to my home town of Melbourne. #apple #retrocomputing

New blog post! The Apple III was perhaps the most unloved machine of Apple's early-80s losing streak, but that doesn't mean this one should have been used as a toilet for mice. Just how bad can it get? #retrocomputing #apple2 #apple3

🍏 The Apple Network Server MacOS ROMs have resurfaced
｢ The 1996 Apple Network Server was Apple's first true Unix-through-and-through server (the Apple Workgroup Server 95, actually a Quadra 950 with a special PDS card limited to A/UX, doesn't really count) and through a complex history came to run IBM's AIX as its native operating system ｣
