Retrocomputing fun.

Hot take: beige is a very nice color for computers.

@icm@mastodon.sdf.org lol there's me in one of those shots! As an attendee, #VCFPNW felt like a total success of an event. Kudos to the organizers and volunteers for pulling off a magical weekend.

@typolad@babka.social You bet! My GlobalTalk zone is named (maybe predictably), "Kabootie!". Join your old Macintosh or emulator to GlobalTalk using the guide at https://marchintosh.com/globaltalk.html then you'll be directed to really good guides for finding & connecting to a specific zone.

With my #GlobalTalk Mac running on an isolated network, getting a screenshot onto Mastodon took some creative problem solving. A floppy disk was involved.

With some editorial decisions and BlueSCSCI shenanigans, I was able to make my entire library of 422 commercial game demos for Classic Macintosh systems available via #GlobalTalk . Come grab one!

Drop by and visit me on #GlobalTalk! I've added 300 or so game demos to shared folders to grab and play, and I'll hopefully add more over the course of #MARCHintosh

Some #GlobalTalk zones I've visited have impressively robust setups backed by modern Linux software. I'm sure I'll eventually do something similar. But for now it's fun to connect a physical Quadra to the network and use classic Mac OS built-in file sharing, with the achingly slow performance that entails.

I'm having a great time with #GlobalTalk. It's giving old-time campus-wide computer network, where everyone's freely swapping apps, chatting, playing games, and having community fun in a low-stakes environment.

That stack of Macworld CDs is all uploaded to Internet Archive now. 85 discs resulting in 68 new pages, after removing duplicates and combining multiple discs onto single pages where it made sense. Enjoy! https://archive.org/details/@jcgraybill/lists/7/feb-2026-macworld-cd-contributions
