#marchintosh

So, I've taken the time to clean one of the Apple keyboards I had stashed away at work so I can use at home today with the Macs I set up for #MARCHintosh yesterday. Good god, the gunk inside of this keyboard! ​ So! Much! Gunk! ​

Looking a lot better now. Finished cleaning the keys from the main keyboard and the number pad, as well as the inside part underneath, and put them all back in place. All that's left is to put back the top row of keys now that the inside part is clean. All that's left are the arrow keys and the 6 keys above it. As you can see in the second pic, it was a lot of yuck from who knows how long in there. ⌨️🧼🧽🫧 #MARCHintosh

All clean and reassembled and ready to go home. #MARCHintosh

if anyone would like some #Marchintosh stickers, donate a few bucks to the Australian Computer Museum Society and upload the receipt to my website :) https://stickers.decryption.net.au/

Here’s my playthrough of another important HyperCard game: Caper in the Castro by C.M. Ralph. It’s the first game to focus on LGBTQ themes. It’s a point-and-click murder mystery, and it has a lot of charm. I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADdfysIYFxQ You can play it here on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/hypercard_caper-in-the-castro The game was thought to be lost for several years; I’m so glad it was eventually recovered. #MARCHintosh

It’s bonkers that there’s only 9 years between these models, and only 4 years between when the Mac Color Classic was discontinued and the iMac G4 was introduced #marchintosh

My #tinyMac hardware build is complete, just in time for #MARCHintosh! It was surprising just how much of a challenge squeezing all the hardware and cabling into the case was in the end. The underlying Linux OS is Bluetooth paired with a spare, modern, Magic Mouse and Keyboard. Now to get some interesting software on it, and try to get it on #globaltalk

Anyone want to help figure out the Lisa A-trap dispatcher? I put a disassembly in a gist: https://gist.github.com/eschaton/2c9cdcddccd3dde177005872ddd6e946 #retrocomputing #lisa #m68k #MARCHintosh
