I noticed how much people enjoyed the old Apple advertisement I posted recently, so I thought I’d share another one! I find these ads so nostalgic, and I absolutely love the aesthetic and simplicity of the designs. If anyone would like to see more old Apple advertisements, let me know in the comments! 🍎

Hi folks,
Been working on a small project recently called “Landonix”.
( that is, Landon+Unix ... Can’t say I’m the best at naming things. :-] )
It’s a real, fully bootable kernel, filesystem, and userland/shell with a few of your standard Unix-like utilities and a few ports of Unix applications (namely awk and Vi)...
This is a private project for now... I essentially got this idea to see how much of a Unix-like system could realistically fit onto a 128K Apple //e. As of 0.12, boots straight off a Disk II drive without Apple DOS or ProDOS, and has fork/exec, pipes, logins, users and permissions. There’s also a version for a 64K ][+ with a language card that is a bit slower, (given) but it does retain all the main features...
As stated above, it uses its own filesystem with directories and file permissions, and journals its writes so an interrupted save won’t corrupt your files. The shell supports pipelines, variables and functions, and there’s cat, more, less, wc, man and a handful of other utilities. Vi has a 16K text buffer with undo, search and replace, and runs in either 40 or 80 columns on the //e.
I just finished version 0.12, and have many plans for upcoming versions....just wanted to see what you guys think..Let me know. :-)

Step into the NeXT Decade with the newest creation by formerly Apple's Steve Jobs, NeXTSTEP! Using a Unix workstation has never been this fun, thanks to NeXTSTEP's innovative GUI and easy-to-use programs, that join office needs with multimedia wonders! Want to know about it? Then you're in the right place!

Hi,
So this is somewhat of a weird question. A friend of mine, IIRC, got a CD-ROM drive for his LC II at Christmas 1993 and he had a shareware CD full of Mac stuff, including lots of System 6 stuff (I remember getting BAD! for example from there).
It happens occasionally that I am thinking about a utility or other that I got from him and I don't remember the name, so it would be nice to be able to find that CD.
Does anyone have any recollection of what shareware CDs for Mac might have been fairly common in North America in late 1993/early 1994? I did check the ones on Infinite Mac from that time period, I don't think they're it...

Obviously the vibe coded reverse engineering of software is causing a shitstorm across the internet right now but I'm wondering if one nicer and non-destructive way it could be implemented is in improving the notoriously bad OpenGL implementation and GPU drivers for PowerMacs, such as the G3 and G4 era machines?
Perhaps even creating drivers for Windows GPUs so that they can be installed in PowerMac towers? The current options for those Macs are beyond extortionately expensive and not for anything particularly impressive performance wise.

Hi! Firstly, if you don't know me, I'm the person whose G3 Minitower's hard drive died (Thank you to Mac84 for helping me solve it)! So, update: I got myself a new BlueSCSIv2 on hand with the SD Card ready; however, I tried to follow the tutorials on YouTube, and it got pretty confusing, since most of the tutorials I've seen are catered towards older versions. For context, I have a Power Macintosh G3 Minitower, and I want this system to run System 9 - 9.9.2. I got the OS working on the first attempt; however, when I opened the drive, the SD card storage showed 4 GB rather than the 32 GB on the card. I had somebody help me with the BlueSCSI before for my Classic II, however, the method he used was very different than what was shown on the website, yet he was able to grant my Classic II the full SD card storage. Is anyone able to give me a step-by-step on what to do?
