Just a 40something Canadian dude from #VancouverIsland who's into #RetroComputing (mainly old #Apple / #Mac stuff), #Programming, and general #Technology enthusiast. Also love to #Travel! I wrote a Mastodon client for vintage Mac computers, #Macstodon, which you can get from here: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon Occasionally I’ll post about #Anime and #Gaming, especially #ZenlessZoneZero and #HonkaiStarRail. I boost a lot. Boosts are not endorsements. DMs from non-followers are blocked due to spam.

Ugh, ImageWriters, you'll have to wait for the weekend for your #GlobalTalk prints.
The MacPalette II driver crashes consistently on my 6500 with OS 9.1 (even with other extensions disabled) - and the version of Acrobat Reader on my IIfx with A/UX won't show the colours in the PDF that I want to print.
I wanted to do this as an ordinary RTF text file at first but of course the Unicode block character won't show up in Mac OS 9. So I cheated and created a PDF on a modern machine, and then sent it over to the 6500 to print across the GlobalTalk network.
Anyway, for now, enjoy the original. With love and thanks to @pierrenick@hachyderm.io for creating “macsay" which I used to generate it.
